I'm really sad to read the reviews of the film, because I was hoping it was the start of something new. Saying nothing of their historical accuracy, or lack thereof, the Bible actually provides a lot of really source material for some really awesome films. Stories or characters from the Bible have been so sacrosanct…

EVE actually encapsulates pretty well what actual space exploration will be like if we ever become a highly advanced space faring civilization, both in terms of the perception versus actual gameplay juxtaposed to reality.

Talking about just a relatively exotic place for one group of people is not exactly the same thing. The danger, misery, and harsh conditions of moving from the Netherlands to Plymouth is nothing, read nothing, compared to moving to another planet. It also will be exponentially more difficult. You will literally die if…

Agreed, but the positive potential ripple effects of manned exploration does not justify the costs today, especially juxtaposed to the much cheaper and pragmatic use of robots or machines. There is a satellite right now on its way to Pluto. When it arrives those of us around then will be the first humans to ever see a…

Yeah, but boots on the ground is not at all feasible now. We aren't talking about getting on a boat and sailing to a foreign land a few longitude and latitude degrees off from where we started.

Thank you! The argument that we have stopped space exploration is really frustrating. The entire landing a man on the moon was much less about exploring space than it was sticking it to Russia. We have seen sunsets on Mars and actually taken photos of Saturn and the other distant gas giants. We have probes on their…

I've heard about Taco Bell, but I haven't really heard much if anything about KFC. The McNuggets video released by McDonald's was enlightening, and made me feel a lot better about getting the dreaded but delicious 20 piece. What are the rumors about KFC. You can actually see bone. I can't imagine there is much room…

McDonald's has a PR problem on its hands, and it's trying to combat that that awful image, and to a large extent you have to give them credit for it. It doesn't change the fundamentals of the good, i.e. it shouldn't be a staple part of your diet, but it does demystify the food at least.

Zhu Li is obviously lying. She was playing to Kuvira's vanity, and it obviously worked out well.

I totally forgot the Devil from Ugly Americans, who technically isn't one "person" but rather just a position title, like Chief of Executive Officer of Hell. He's basically both a District Attorney and hedge fund manager. The position isn't as powerful as it used to be, because after a series of bad financial…

Much like Wicked changed the way we thought about the Wicked Witch of the West, it would be interesting purely from a creative standpoint if someone did the same for the guy downstairs. Most of the list still depict Lucifer has a guy who had it coming to him, though perhaps Paradise Lost makes the best case that the…

"[But zombies] often represent the working class, or immigrants, or the underclass." Wait, what!? I have never in my years understood the connection to the working class or immigrants. Zombies have always been the worse for me, because are a grab bag of different apocalypses rolled into one, you have disease, societal…

I get it for nostalgia reasons, but seeing as the very notion of Saturday cartoon wasn't about actually creating this special moment just for children, but instead a way for channels to comply with regulations and not hurt their bottom line during primetime, I'm not too worried about it.

Of course you should have the freedom to choose, but often tied to that freedom are social policies, which often times value the wrong kind of things from a resource management standpoint. Cities are better at managing resources than suburbs and offer better benefits. Simply put.

Why not? From a purely organizational perspective, why wouldn't want to live like an ant farm. Ants and ant colonies are amazing wonders of natural engineering. The fact that they can pack so many into a space, have air conditioning, garage, and defense. And they are amazing successful.

Life becomes more and more like an Onion article everyday.

I laughed so hard after reading this comment that I almost choked. I tip my hat to you.

Yeah. It took me a couple of months, putting in maybe an hour or two a couple times a week. I sort of cheated because I used Bank; however, I did catch them all at one point. It might take longer if you were started from scratch, but if you have been playing games for a while you can transfer Pokemon you caught in…

I can't believe this is still an argument. The death of the penny should have just happened automatically when it started to cost more than its own purchasing power, especially since the sensible death of any note or coin is to just stop minting it and let the coins continue in circulation until they all get back to…

The Milky Way is seemingly big enough to support several different galactic empires and federations, with still enough room for our humble planet to go unnoticed, until at least we become a post-warp civilization. It would be interesting to see a collaborative smashed fan-fic merging all of different story universes…
