How about Guia (which hosts both cars and bikes) or Manaco? Both are known for their cornering.

Now I’m wondering what vehicle is ideal for slalom, and whether that vehicle would be the Batmobile.

They’re using blankets, which it slightly different.

I just spent five minutes trying to find an image of the beer belly armor from A History of the World Part I (or was it A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum?). I guess you’ll just have to remember the customary depiction of classical armor as form-fitting for yourself.

I’m going to have to say the chances of the lightswitch are low. To be convincing, the switch would have to be flat against the wall and the peg that reverts the switch is longer than the plate on the switch is deep. You’d have to cut a hole in the wall for it to work.

Huh, so it’s cannon that the creation of two Jewish authors is a first generation Irish-American from the 1920's and ‘30's. I wonder if any author has had him state what his opinion of Social Justice and Father Coughlin was.

It would be kind of in character for someone frozen at that point in history, though. At that time, France was mostly known for its quick surrender and its moral cowardice prior to the war (mostly sabotaging the League of Nations and Red Cross, both of which it held the rotating leadership role, to appease Moussolini)…

Lately I’ve been thinking that the Megilla/Purim would make a good Disney movie, maybe with the conceit of the film actually being a reality-warping/land of imagination Purim shpiel (kind of like The Princess Bride but with a stageplay instead of bedtime story). What do you guys think? If it were to be successful, how…

I think Green Films’ Mamele will continue to be quite safe in its status as the best live-action version of an acclaimed Disney animated movie.

Not killing or using guns has become part of Batman’s mania over the years. Crimminals kill, Criminals use guns, hell, Criminals killed his parents with a gun. I can much more easily see Batman going with a hail mary plan that he knew would probably fail and get him killed than solve the problem by shooting someone.…

Wait, how is G. Willow Wilson not white? She’s an American white lady who converted to Islam as an adult. Even if she were Arab, semitic/middle eastern people are still considered white (as can most easily be seen with all the talk about how Sanders is a white guy, although the discourse on his winning Hawaii seems to…

Tony is the only one crying “prosecution,” so this could very well be based on the current debate over drone warfare and the fringe argument that any use of lethal force by the police is a violation of the right to trial.

I’d say the question of who has claim to self defense depends on what’s being done, which is very much in question. Stark is the only one saying “prosecution,” which I suspect that it’s either a straw man or misunderstanding of what’s being done, probably as a direct reference to the recent debate over drone warfare.…

I think it’s notable that we only see “prosecute” used in the context of Tony’s opposition. I very much suspect this is a protective custody of preempive strike deal, as the legal expert is on the pro side, indicating that what’s going on is technically legal (albeit in a world where you can shoot people in the face…

I think it very much depends on what the specifics of the debate are. I’m reminded of the debate on drone warfare, where lots of people were declaring that it was prosecution and punishment without a trial while every legal expert pointed out that alter ego defence/pikuach nefesh isn’t the same as punishment. It may…

To a certain extent, blacks are priveledged. They are overwhelmingly Christian and predominantly Protestant, which puts them in an insanely dominant cultural-religious majority, for example. Also, they are the only group that everyone consistently acknowledges as a minority, with one recent example being how widely…

In a somewhat similar matter, I’m kind of surprised at the lack of coverage of that George Mason student who got a court to overturn his sexual assault expulsion.

Just today I saw a video in which one of the Lets Play personalities I listen to was forced by his coworkers to share that he gets girls at the club to talk to him by sitting at the bar alone looking sad, so romantic plays using sympathy aren’t that out there.

She tried to send the media and outrage after other people, so I don’t see why she shouldn’t get the same level of exposure for doing so.
