My own thesis advisors might have benefited quite a bit from taking a dip in a boiling river.

I would have, too. I know, at 13-14 years old I would have fucked any number of my celebrity crushes. I do think that sometimes we forget that teenage girls are sexual beings that chose to willingly engage in sexual behaviors. The issue then becomes whether 1) a 13-15 year old is mature enough to willingly consent and

I appreciate the questions, gets me thinking about this in different ways.

No, it really isn’t. No one honestly cares about a badass good guy turning into a badass bad guy. It’s a boring transition. Let’s flip a switch and suddenly this guy is evil? Lame. There isn’t any real character growth there. There aren’t any stakes within the character itself. You need a flawed character manipulated

It can be flipped, too. Know how I know that’s not a real photo of Neil Armstrong on the moon? Because we never went to the moon.

Nick has hung out on kboards.com. It’s a great place to go for authors looking for marketing ideas and networking. I’m wondering if you have to be a bestseller to be featured by their site. One of the joys of a site like BookBub is that it features undiscovered gems and forgotten classics that have come on sale. I

On the one hand, I signed up from their giveaway and I signed up for their mailing list, which let me download a free book. So, good stuff. On the other hand, it won’t let me get past the mailing list to the actual website. Every time I try to go there, that is the only option...unless that is the only thing that

It was in the “Archie,s Weird Mysteries” cartons. IN fact , veronica got turned into a vampire in one of the episodes dealing with the Ender -calling herself Vampironica in fact! Luckily the true “Ender” awoke and resorted everyone...

The biggest problem with this conspiracy theory, and many others as well, is that they’re missing a key aspect: why? Why is the entire world conspiring to hide the true shape of the planet. What is being gained? What could motivate such a wide-spanning allegiance of governments and scientists? Without a motive, you’ve

I’m shocked by the backlash these types of programs have been receiving lately. To a degree, I understand the response to Neil Gaiman’s recent Twitter commentary and the outrage that followed. But as a graduate of Clarion Prime, I can say without question that that program changed my life, and is the reason that I am

“Set off five triggering stimuli, Seymour” isn’t nearly as catchy, you know.

Yeah I was thinking the TV show, becasue there really wasn’t a Turtles comic, aside from the Archie Comics series, which went some pretty not-fun weird directions before losing all direction, that was discontinued in the early 2000s, until the Mirage series, which was so awkward and short lived I never got it. The IDW

It’s Raph’s sai. Michaelangelo even writes that under the “bad” column about Batman on the chalkboard later.

Michelangelo’s sai

Um, I’m not reading the book, but isn’t it Raphael’s sai? Have they switched weapons while I was away?

If we can answer that from a single photo, I’ll be very impressed! The first step is to look for similarities and differences, both from simple observation and with more complex tools.

Not only will the next Doctor be a black female, she'll have a lesbian relationship with Missy and it'll be the single worst thing Moffat has ever written. It'll be handled so badly that DW will just die and it'll be off the air for 6 years until Rupert Grint buys the whole franchise and stays in the role for 30

Best part of this? Jim Davis (author of Garfield) actually helped this guy make a book out of this rather then any silly lawyer crap.

Sorry to bust your bubble, but Garfield's veterinarian Liz has been dating Jon for quite a while now. It's getting serious.
