To my midwestern American ears, his accent doesn't strike me as at all fake or affected. MUCH better than the "american" accents usually used by Brits... (Mr. Laurie and the guy who played McNulty in The Wire, excepted, of course.)

Of course, the BIGGEST lie in weight loss is "exercise will drop the pounds". The math is stark: it will do no such thing. You just have eat less. (The second being "exercise will make you feel better", rather than making feel awfull and needing to puke.)

"...probably in my head, but it's there"

I considered that, but it's really not that big of an inflation. 5%, right? No, I think something else is going on there. Either that, or his message to the Lannisters carries more import than is obvious — some prophecy only known to the nobles maybe? Dunno, I haven't read the books.

"even more revealing are the lengths Take Two appear to be going to not call this game a first-person shooter"

It's also worth remembering that ketchup is a non-Newtonian fluid, but the opposite kind from oobleck. That is, its viscosity drops dramatically with the addition of kinetic energy as the molecules unkink/untangle. So with the old glass bottles, your best bet was to rapidly tap one spot repeatedly. You'd get…

Amongst others. Sometimes it seems like if your opinion isn't in utter complete lockstep, you're obviously hitler.

I think Erik Cartman made a great argument in support of this: it's a place to gain experience and valuable life skills for his slav- er- "student athletes".

Hey, crazy, un-self-examining chicks who always fall for the wrong kind of guy need to be able to dream too.

Please learn the definition of the word "literally". It doesn't mean "very" or "extremely" or "seriously"; it means "what follows, though it may sound like a euphemism, is, in fact, what is actual".

However, Hooters, itself, is strictly PG-13, not R, so that analysis doesn't exactly stand up...

Sorta, but quite a bit more stupid and ridiculous.

Banshee? _Really_? If the cartoons taught us _anything_ it's that powers that let you make loud annoying noises are fine in text and... well... loud and annoying on screen. Yeesh.

I had written a fairly long response to this, but then I realized it doesn't matter. This audience won't hear it. Never mind. All I'll say is that "In most cases, the problem isn't women expecting too much: it's men offering too little." is rather problematic if you think about it honestly.

How can you people be so judgmental?! This is their culture and they are just as entitled to it as anyone else. It is their way to treat women like shit under the guise of 'protecting' them.

Do you mean the hackers, the Sony board of directors, your fellow commentors, or all three?

Eh, the reconceptualization of entropy as something better measured with bits than with Joules is pretty well established. Energy is never created or destroyed, but information is created with every quantum interaction. Thermodynamically, temperature is a measure of energy per bit. When you have energy that is simple…

Nope. The light will still be moving at c — it's just that you and the mirror would disagree about what color it was.

It was strongly hinted in several conversations that Garibaldi had 'looked past' Zach's previous issues and that he was superficially a hypocrite for calling out Michaels booze problem.
