It is because they are motorcycle enthusiasts and motorcycles count here.

Just a little champagne in the face and suddenly he understands anger at the wage gap? Awesome!

Yeah, Sayles' name changes everything. There are some pretty good movies with stupid concepts out there. It is all in the execution.

Drink coffee for awhile. You get to like it. Or just pop a Vivarin in the morning.

It's the internet. People are going to jump all over anything that gives them an excuse. I got that what you meant by "supposed to be" was "a natural body shape not sculpted to meet a certain kind of expectation."

You mean Parseltongue?

You don't ride, do you? Bikers do that to each other all of the time, and on a couple of occasions I have been given the sign by bikers while I was in my truck when I conspicuously let them get into a lane that they needed.

So, Skye is the Gellar, Ward is the Baldwin, Rice is the Torres, Fitz and Simmons are the Kranz and Hannigan. Not suggesting casting, but Whedon has his excellent archetypes.

Also: every other thing about which you were at least mildly curious and isn't happening now.

I think that the real mystery was never the how, even though some made that a thing. The answer, as it always is in these cases, was "hard work and cleverness." But who those people were and what they were like, what they really were trying to do with it are pretty good mysteries.

Yeah. I don't get it. Okay, he's my, uh, third-favorite character. He's still awesome, though. I love his boy scout qualities. Cap is sort of like Superman, but without the annoying "he can do everything" problem.

I am pretty sure that we'll have invisible earpieces sooner than we'll have flying aircraft carriers.

Because it is not important for most of the public to obey the traffic laws most of the time or anything. Got a better way for them to get people to think twice about blowing through school zones at 40, running red lights and skipping stop signs?

Kant would suggest that they have indirect rights. that is that moral rights in these situations derive from those who own the robots.

((Han Solo + Indiana Jones)/2 + Jim Rockford)/2.8 = Mal Reynolds

I have joined the hip-to-waist ratio camp. If your waist is smaller than your hips your weight is good (though you might still lack muscle). If not, you are overweight.

Malcolm Forbes' kids can control black holes. True story.

That's sad but true. It is not even that we are necessarily talking about "crooked" dishonesty. The problem in regards to the oval office is that anyone who stood up and said "Vote for me, I won't have a lot of control over the economy but I will kill at foreign policy and defense" is never going to do well.

If I could give Obama one superpower, it would be the ability to force-choke people for their insolence.

Yeah. He could be displayed as the "World's palest Italian."
