This week, in "Innocuous Things That Are Surprisingly Dangerous" - Pistachios: delicious snack, or ticking time bomb?

So it's worth putting up with Rogen's "I'm a lovable douche" thing then? That bugs the crap out of me. Although Kato sounds really cool.

I've lived on the edge of Leo/Virgo my whole life, and now this? This is almost enough to make me believe the position of constellations relative to the time of my birth have nothing to do with my personality...

Tiny lasers are wonderful, but how close are they to constructing lightsabers?

There's a really awesome backcountry trail in Zion National Park in the U.S. that passes a large rock covered in dinosaur footprints. Though judging by the pattern of the prints, it's less "dino dance floor" and more "nerdy wallflower dinos milling around".

Homes and cars? Psh. Clearly they ran into cloaked alien spaceships.

Wait - you mean that people who know they're doing something bad will pull "facts" out of their asses in order to justify it? My mind has been blown.

@trunk_monkey_ChimChim: Of course we should fear bears! They're godless killing machines!

Very cool designs for the stealth cameras.

"This isn't funny, Dean! The voice says I'm almost out of minutes!"

Of all the "Supernatural" moments, I would not have chosen that one for the best. Castiel had some very bad-ass moments at the end of season five, and any episode with Death is definitely worth a mention.

@Charlie Jane Anders: I was afraid of that. Sure, it wreaked havoc on natural systems and disrupted many people economically, but it was not a *natural* disaster. That was BP's bad.

Charlie, was the BP oil spill in the Gulf included in the calculations for the economic losses from natural disasters?

@Meander061: I'm thinking that it's not so much blackmail as it is mind control. There's just no other explanation.

Regarding point #2: Sure, supervillains are awesome (though I enjoyed "Megamind" much more than "Despicable Me") but once Hollywood finds a pretty new pony, they will ride it until it drops dead, then take a stick and beat it into pieces. And then you'll still have some Hollywood producers on their knees, picking up…

I hope the zoo follows all the correct procedures.

I think I've only got enough qualifications to reach the level of handy-exposition-and-research-source. Besides, I don't define myself by my ability to travel to other dimensions.

My impression of Dirk from reading the books is that his philosophy of "the fundamental interconnectedness of all things" was a handy excuse for classifying all sorts of things as "business expenses", and that any natural talent he had for figuring out cosmic or supernatural causes for things was purely accidental, or…

@Kinowolf: That is precisely what I was thinking - the issue of whether we're seeing specific gender roles in this chimp community is relatively insignificant next to the fact that what these researchers are observing is, in fact, non-human culture.
