Helping yourself also helps in general, if you do it in advance. Got water, food and heat? Then you do not have to stress relief services by getting help with those things and they can provide for others.

Nice. I would not have wished another minute into the movies, but maybe a lil Bombadil could have replaced the Warg attack.

Is it going to make things challenging at higher levels? If not, I'm not.

As a nursing student, I can say that the real thing looks considerably less otherworldly. I like the Parkinson's one, though. very "Nude descending a Staircase."

Well, he is actually sort of a super-Celt with strong overtones of classic Germanic heroic imagery.

Whether watching Dr. Who or Revolution or whatever, I follow the policy: Repeat to yourself "it's just a show, I should really just relax. "

So, I was one of those people whose weight was basically an eating disorder rather than just overindulgence and some laziness. Six years ago, I weighed 440 lbs at 6' 3". I got to 350 stable for three years, and then this year I have dropped another 93 so far and seem on track to just finish and have a normal BMI (the…

I know what you mean. When a popular gym that was open any time opened two miles from my house, my workouts became much more regular.

So then you lift weights three times per week, something like that.

To be fair, they are mocking him not giving him time.

The problem with this is that nature only cares who reproduces and how much they do so. So blonde hair for women or height for men have a lot more going for them than the biggest brain you can get, evolutionarily speaking.

A lot of the responses involve the innocent citizen's outrage at being stopped. I work in a retail store, and the loss prevention people have very specific guidelines for stopping someone. They are well-paid professionals and are quite careful. For instance, when someone heads for the door with some expensive jeans or…

They hold such status in the same way that you might be holding such status if you defend your home from a robbery.

Wait. Are you saying that lying for personal gain is wrong? What are you, some kind of fanatic?

I work in the service industry, but not in a tipping position. Waitstaff seems to make a lot more money than I do for a comparable level of work. Unless they have a shift in which the place is empty, they are taking home in a day what I work for a day and a half to get. I tip 20%, but when I didn't get great service…

My partner and I guard this door all day. I always tell the truth and he always lies.

It would have had to be a bacterial infection or, possibly, something like a protozoa that really liked living in their systems. Bacteria can go to town in any suitable environment whether that be your sink or your an alien's kidneys. Viruses, though, require that their host have specific receptors. That is why you…

On the other hand, it would get my Honda CB750 home from anywhere I ever go.

The comic looks awesome. That said, the Joker could not have chosen most other DC heroes to be his nemesis. Batman has the proper scale. Superman would just drop him on an uninhabited asteroid somewhere.
