I can't remember...did he ever walk into a tavern?

An anti-hero is a protagonist who serves the function of a heroic character without trying to be a heroic person. Luke was a straight-up by-they-book hero in Ep4. Han Solo was an anti-hero. He was just looking for a payday and accidentally helped overthrow a corrupt government.

Katsulas did one final appearance on ST:TNG between The Gathering and the regular series. He never appeared in any Star Trek series again until Enterprise, after his final appearance as G'kar in The Legend of the Rangers. This episode was from DS9, so whoever that was, it was not him. Anyways, that guy doesn't

The beaker shot no more violates the law of gravity than a Slinky does when the freshly retracted end lifts up from the stack to continue its downward stair climbing. On a whole, the fluid is moving in a downward path due to gravity. It just has enough viscosity to not separate on the edge of the beaker.

Not just fake, but made of the same synthetic crap as their jumpers.

In my college theatre days, I once had to scoot around on one of those mechanic's dollies, cutting six inches off of every leg on a 20x20 stage platform, where there was only 8" clearance between the underside of the platform and the top of the dolly. So no on having three legs. I also had to be able to communicate

No, those are more about whether the male holds back enough so he can escape afterwards. Crappiest Mating Technique goes to the Australian redback widow spider, where the male mounts the female and then flips its abdomen in front of the female's mouth so she can eat him _while_ he's knocking her up.

I find that having two mouths really helps when I'm eating and need to say something at the same time.

Hammerhead sharks are certainly known to have stereo senses beyond eyesight. Not only can they smell in stereo, but their electrical sense works in stereo as well. They're able to precisely locate stingrays that have buried themselves under the sand.

I have only ever heard this story in relation to Indiana, but never in this much detail. And I can't remember if it was the "passed a law", "considered passing a law", or some combination of the two versions that I've heard.

Maybe you'd rather use this dilemma, with which I managed to get my college philosphy professor to stop dead in his tracks on the way across campus:

I also thought the same thing, except the Netflix bit, because I was smart and bought both the Storyteller and Storyteller Greek Myths on DVD several years ago. And where the regular Storyteller stories are indeed all kinds of crazy (my two favorites are The Heartless Giant and The Soldier & Death), the four stories

Wildly baseless fringe science yhat will ultimately be discredited but gets a lot of attention in the meantime? Quick, where's a Star Trek screenwriter when you need one?

There was an interview with Bob Ballard where he discussed his ideas on how to track down ancient shipwrecks. The key was wine trading. They knew the port where wine was produced, and a couple ports where it was shipped to, so they knew the rough path that trade ships would have taken between the two. And they knew

The only thing was, it popped out of the box so quickly that I couldn't get a clear view of the scale pattern. I noticed that right near the heads, the scales were lifted up quite a bit so you could see how they laid over each other. Somewhere in the middle, though, the two overlays would run into each other and I

Wrong question. What we _really_ want to know is how long it would take a mouse to evolve into a mimmoth.

Coke products all state their caffeine content on the label, and a "standard" cup of coffee should run about 100mg. Coke Zero (aka Diet Coke with guy-friendly rebranding, since the nutritional panels are identical) has no sugar content, so if you're dropping even a single packet of sugar in your coffee, that's

I believe the answer to that is "brew it".

You are aware that caffeine is a diuretic, yes?
