Well, Greece doesn’t have much of an auto industry. Maybe a nice Lancia from when they were doing Greek letter names.

I think Kanye’s career output has been fantastic, but in terms of the bet outlined here, he’d be someone I’d specifically avoid choosing because of his mercurial nature. I’d be afraid of the possibility of committing to four straight albums of Dadaist anti-art.

The rules are clear: it’s “take a walk,” not “drive a semi.”

That just proves my point- the English named their country after a people called the Angles- and somehow ended up with an E out in front. The English simply can’t be trusted to manage their own language.

As an American chemist, I would be perfectly willing to accept aluminium provided the British get rid of all the ridiculous ligatures in their science words. English is not Latin; caesium, oesophagus, oestrogen, and foetus are all wrong.

These might be of interest to Howard the Duck, though.

Now, instead of merely being crushed by metal robot arms, workers will first be stunned by the impact of the airbag, then smothered by the airbag, and then, and only then, crushed by the metal robot arms. It’s far more humane.

I’ve long felt that the middle section of Half-Life is my favorite stretch of levels of any game ever. Even though it was a bit of a programming cheat to have soldiers knock you out and disarm at the end of “Apprehension” regardless of how well you were prepared for it, it was fun building your arsenal back up better…

Every time I see that guy’s name in print, I think about a version of the Persian epic “Shahnameh” that has Batman in it. Which is completely awesome. Thanks, Rostam Batmanglij’s parents!

Well, I’ve got faith that you’ll get through it. Faith of the heaaaaaart....

That episode with Poochie orginally aired about two years before this kid was born.

And psychology, not phycology, unless that class on the study of algae has some very unorthodox assignments.

In the book, the genetic sequencing is managed by 2 Cray X-MP supercomputers, an astonishing amount of computing power for 1990 (and costing over 10 million dollars each), but it turns out woefully inadequate for the task they were supposedly able to perform. Note that the X-MP was not as powerful as a Playstation 4.

It can look natural and fluid for some televised sports, always a big selling point for new TVs. Once you get the TV home though, turning it off is often buried deep in the settings.

Yes, Rhaegar dies at the Trident, the Sack of King’s Landing occurs (where Elia Martell and her two children with Rhaegar die), and then afterwards Ned Stark and Howland Reed ride to the Tower of Joy. In the flashback Bran sees, Ned even points out that “the Mad King is dead, and Rhaegar lies beneath the ground.” In…

Yeah, if I have this right, Rhaegar had two children with Elia Martell, one of whom was named Aegon Targaryen. Rhaegar dies at the Trident though. Apparently, Aegon would have been de-legitimized by Rhaegar’s annulment, and then is (possibly) killed by the Mountain in the Sack of King’s Landing. Before Rhaegar’s…

They are first cousins- Jorah’s father Jeor (The Old Bear) and Lyanna’s mother Maege were brother and sister.

I loved the absurd humor of Earthworm Jim, as well as the weird level ideas, the bizarre bosses, and the great art and music. It was overall too hard, and I think that like in TMNT and Battletoads, having all of those different gameplay types meant that the developers never really had a handle on how difficult certain…

I’m a-Freyr they won’t let him get Mjollnir a racecar again anytime soon though.

This “Love Bug” is for Generation Z; Herbie will now be something like Brayden or McKayleigh.
