Dear every dude saying and about to say "But I don't treat women this way!" Great! Thanks! Problem solved!

Hahaha, the other TAs used to tell me that they were pretty sure this student or that student had a crush on them, to the point where I was starting to feel left out. I mean, I don't want my students to have crushes on me, but I don't want them to have crushes on everyone except me, you know? But then it turned out…

Mark, you sly dog. That's like a writing prompt for Penthouse Forum!

"I would prefer that we keep this relationship strictly professional."

NIT PICK TIME: "College newspaper" is not accurate. We Canadians don't use college as a catch-all term for all post secondary education. "College" is actually something distinct from a university. So this is misleading.

I once had someone send me a somewhat suggestive email and I responded with a friendly "hey, I don't think this is for me. Please be careful to check the address when sending emails!" I thought it was a mistake.

His left hand is fake and attached to the wall. He's holding a support frame inside his coat.

Admittedly, I'm 24 years out of high school, but even then the school day started at 7:35. Which means, in the boonies of New Hampshire where I lived, you had to be at the bus stop at 6:55. Which means you had to get up by at least 6am.

GoG > Avengers

I've been saying this nonstop since Game of Thrones. It would be utterly perfect casting, and would have the added benefit of adding a little bit of color to Marvel's pantheon of leading men.

I really like the posters for GotG. Gamora isn't sexualized the same way as Black Widow was in those Avengers posters, where she's the only with her butt to the camera.

...only approx. 10x better. *shrug*

We should start retroactively identifying Avengers as that movie that is supposed to be the same movie as GotG.

John Carter of Mars - Barsoom Series

Dr Who is to be taken only slightly more serious than the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy book series. For another take on Sci-FI comedy check out the Canadian-German show from late 90's early 00's called LEXX

Thanks, io9. You just gave me 8 hours more per day to get things done because I'm never sleeping again. Unfortunately, I will probably be using some of those hours applying a flamethrower to my face and the rest of them in the emergency room.
