Well, alright. Alright alright alright.

Everything about that show was terrible except Andre Braugher who is reliably awesome, and even he was only quite good in it. Such a waste.

I was going to say the spider lobby has tentacles everywhere, but that's the octopoid lobby.

there was a really nice throwaway line in The Witcher 2, a group of town guards wander past and you hear one of them saying "and the day will finally come when they look down and say "save us" and we'll say "yeah, all right""

If only there were some way to keep the screechy crashy noises and get rid of the terrible music. I made it nearly three minutes in before I had to stop.

It was someone else who thought RP was "Brits trying to sound American", I was just trying to squeeze all my replies into one post. It's just such a completely ridiculous thing to think!

Dem Youth in London are all speaking Jafaican anyway, innit bruv: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicult…

I agree, it was surprisingly non-terrible

Wait, Michael Bay? Damn it, this show had me at Rhona Mitra and Adam Baldwin but now I'm back to being unconvinced. Rhona Mitra was surprisingly non-terrible in Strike Back despite playing a role that was barely two-dimensional.

I read the ebook: it was all right but not amazing. I preferred the Straw Men books for pacing and his earlier stuff for weirdness; I got the feeling he wasn't really "feeling" this one when he wrote it (one of the characters is a writer who is having trouble writing a book, which may be a clue).

All this "the T Rex must have been a slow ambling carrion eater, with no arms it couldn't balance at a run or get up if it fell over" stuff seems to ignore the cassowary and the ostrich, both of which seem to happily run around with only little vestigial wings.

I'd also like to know that, I was surprised by the "dog was pushed by the cat" pictures too.

Maybe the algorithm needs more training with Saffers. It got my dialect (Scottish UK) bang on, with Norn Iron and Ireland as second and third guesses - I saw "I'm after having" as one of the responses, which is very Glasgow or Ireland.

Interesting, looks like the tone of the book is somewhere between his 'Michael Marshall Smith' stuff like Only Forward, and his "I'm a thriller writer called Michael Marshall now" stuff like The Straw Men.

Mistake, my arse. It was just as obviously bribery and corruption then as it is now. Their own technical report said it was a terrible idea to have a summer world cup there because of the temperatures; even with air conditioned stadia for the players (if they work), the fans will still be at risk. Not to mention all…

We already have nuclear submarines that are faster though the water and nigh impossible to track through sound emissions, at least partly because scientists and naval architects have already studied the streamlining of fin and other whales. Scientists have studied artificial dolphins for decades, and developments…

We've already tried using whales for fuel. It didn't go so well for the whales, plus they replace their numbers far too slowly for us to be able to run a technological society from it.

Short Round was great, Temple of Doom was mostly Kate Capshaw screaming. So annoying.

Hah, yes! That is indeed where I got the idea, and it pops into my mind occasionally when discussions about disposing about low and medium level nuclear waste come up. Not sure how you guarantee to stop it spilling into the sea while it's being subducted though; if you've got containment vessels that good you don't…

Fromt his and other clues I'm pretty sure this article was translated from a different language; I suspect mr B. was from Holland or Belgium due to his preference for Dutch-language music when the chip was turned off.
