To be fair, most of the scientists in Girl Genius _are_ villains. And mad ones, at that. And most of the ones that aren't villains only aren't because the non-villains gave them a better offer, and not because they have any specific aversion to the thought of conquering the world.

Well, the "classic men's dress shirt" hadn't been invented at the time when this story takes place. Remember, there was a time when a man wasn't properly dressed unless he was wearing tights and poofy sleeves. And young boys all wore dresses for the first 5-6 years.

Phil does all the drawing, so he may be drawing what he's familiar with as a guy who, presumedly, wears men's clothing.

Was Kaja actually involved with that? I always got the impression (possibly mostly because it's not titled What's New with Phil and Kaja) that it was Phil's solo project, possibly before they got married/teamed up.

Scientific American Frontiers had an interesting episode on zinc, where it was demonstrated that if you give zinc to one group of people, and placebos to another group of people, there's absolutely no affect on their likelihood of catching a cold. What they _did_ find had an effect, upon further questioning, was that…

"Han shot first" Han demonstrated a clear shift towards "code of honor" Han when he dropped in on the trench run. Everything from that moment to the "Luke's my brother" speech is just him coming to grips with who he really is. There isn't a single choice he made in Empire that's true to who he was at the moment when…

"Greedo always shot first. It's just that in the Special Edition, he remembered to turn the safety off."

I remember reading that two of the people involved in The Usual Suspects (director and either writer or producer) still can't agree on whether Keyser Soze actually exists or Kint just made him up, or something equally deep into the core of the movie.

Well, I've got a DVD box set with five different version of Bladerunner (US Theatrical, International Theatrical, '92 Director's Cut, '07 Final Cut, and a pre-release workprint). And I've got all three original OT cuts on DVD as well (to the point of having Ep4 just be "Star Wars"). Sure, they were all "bonus…

Aside from the i-logo getting blasted off the tower, the cover shot looks like concept art from the first film. Mister and Frozone rushing in to save the town from a giant tripod-ball-bot? I'll just assume that Syndrome is too tiny to show up in that image.

That sounds a lot like Cars 2.

Knowledge of human behavior does not a great author make.

"Hey, honey, lookit the funny coral trying to unbury itself before it asphyxiates and/or starves to death! Quick, get a video that we can post on the internet!"

Hmm...nope. Everything works out. You said to give you a number for the one, which is S(ST). I chose 10. And you said to give you a number for the other, which is S(SW). I chose 20. I figured it would be best to keep things simple, so I picked nice round numbers. It should have made the math easier to…

I swear I had _nothing_ to do with this.

Um...S(ST)=10, and S(SW)=20. Wow. Clearly your math is wrong, because S(ST) >/> S(SW).

Hence less wakey-wakey from the caffiene. It's not going to make you piss less while the caffeine is in your system, but it's going to make you crash a lot faster.

With sequels, the greater judge of their success is how well the next movie does, rather than how well the first sequel does. And by that I mean that if the very first movie is _really_ great, then a lot of people are going to go watch the sequel, expecting equal greatness. Great case in point is the Matrix trilogy.…

They actually have a catch-all term for "don't really know". It's called "natural causes".

Well, yeah. Because one thing they noticed with TP&tF was that boys generally weren't interested in it.
