Just a little bit of pee would go such a long way there.

Is it sponsored by Nike?

Each of those cubes needs to be an individual Rubik's cube, or recursively one of those tables again. It could be Sierpinski's table then. Or Kramer's "coffee-table book that's also a coffee table".

It's missing the arrow and label for the point where the "death-grip" occurs. I'm sure that's in the original design too.

@SkippyTheMarine: Yes, saw that episode quite recently. Picard has a mentor from his academic days on the search for some great secret. That turns out to be some super race from back in the day seeding everyone (after they do some funky gene mapping, naturally). And because it's TNG, it has to end on a peaceful,…

Look, this whole episode proves that the iPhone is not a phone, and isn't designed to be used like one. It's a highly portable handheld internet device (a miniature iPad, in fact) used for media consumption. It's a very good gizmo, just not...a...phone.

@bookwench: Well, if you're a stinky, dirty person, the chances of you being a virgin are greatly increased, so that's good.

Blame Marlon Brando in Godfather. That performance won him an Oscar (which he refused, yes, for you quibblers out there), and the entire act was based on mumbling. Ever since then, all mafia roles, all hard men roles and all roles involving Christian Bale/Vin Diesel/Bruce Willis etc are incomprehensible. Except when…

"This isn't the subway line you're looking for."

Are they reusing X-Men costumes?

"Don't you want any pepperoni or salami toppings on your order of pizza?"

U2 song for the soundtrack: Hold me, Thrill me, Bless me, Kill me.

That's a visionary piece of art.

@cziemian: Is that the Eyefel Tower?

So that's what Frank Herbert foresaw.

Is that an MCC tie? It looks "bacon-and-eggs" to me. Do I smell a cricket-science fiction mashup?

So when someone asks you for something you know you're carrying, but don't remember in which pocket, you'll be doing the hand-slapping-pockets-where-is-it-dance 33 times? I smell a hip-hop dance video coming on.

And excessive use of the sonic screwdriver. There was a time he used it only to open doors. Now he's disabling weapons, scanning everything, using it as a lighter, probably wiping his ass with it too.

Wouldn't it be more fun if each one was instructing in a different language? Then you could rehash the old stereotypes of German souning like they're ordering you, the French like they're waiting for the Germans to take over, so on and so forth.

Wouldn't it be more useful for it to be a projection on the wall (or eye-level)? Otherwise, your hands, your cutting board, and the mouldy cheese you forgot to throw away the previous night which has now turned the counter alien-blood green will all be in the way of that perfect risotto recipe.
