Yeah, most female superheroes would also make pretty lousy wives. Probably none worse than Sue Storm (because it's impossible to build trust with someone who can invisibly stalk your every move.)

I think it might have been something Starfleet tossed in as an afterthought, and didn't really come up with specialized regulations for, and he was all like, "Bitch, I got legs like Tina Turner! Hell yeah I'm wearing the mini-dress!"

Hey, it happens. Reasonable people can have reasonable differences of opinion. FWIW, I also oppose the death penalty. In theory, I'd like to be in support of it for certain truly horrific crimes. In reality, human error simply makes its application inherently inequitable and I oppose it strongly.

(and like Rev. Peevler, there is no further response.)

And this is why books will always be amazing! That's a great story :). Hope he continues to read and get pumped up for it. Maybe you guys could do a youtube channel of "Son Describes Pratchett Plots" if it's that animated. That'd be awesome!

BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. As a Dane who has eaten plenty of times at this establishment (before the sex toys - which, in my opinion, is a way of gaining publicity to boost sales. They've been going down hill for a while) my first reaction is 'how incredible that you've picked up on this!'

As stwy mentioned, Guards! Guards! is a good start. Couldn't agree more. Actually Vimes and the Watch books are my favorite Discworld novels. My favorite has always been Night Watch though. Damn thing is such a cinematic novel. Of course if you want some otherworldy goodness try out Reaper Man it's fantastic.

I like Pratchett's deep sharp wit light years better than the drugging through a tar pit word play humor of Piers Anthony's Xanth. Also Pratchett's ladies "in waiting" are of a proper marrying age.

Loose vagina is just what men say to make themselves feel better about having a skinny penis.

Sexy jellyfish.

HEY THERE HULKAMANIAC, GLAD TO SEE YOU'RE ON THE LEVEL. BECAUSE BROTHER, IF YOU'RE ANYTHING LIKE ME, YOU KNOW THAT A POUND OF SPAGHETTI COVERED IN GREASY CAFETERIA MEAT SAUCE AND INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH BUTTER IS NOTHING WITHOUT THE FULL HULKAMANIA EXPERIENCE. THAT'S WHY THE HULK PUT THE GIFT SHOP AT THE FRONT ENTRANCE,…

That's basically the process. When I was in HS in New England, there was an Oxycontin problem. Eventually pharmacies were getting burglarized and wouldn't stock it, and also it's expensive. So when I ended up back there during the recession in 2009, people in my age group were on heroin. In fact, when I was in…

Oh, no, wait. I thought you meant that she ought to dump ice water on the dickwad boyfriend to educate him about ALS. That would be better.

Um, the second letter writer's guy is a piece of shit. Caring for someone with ALS is spectacularly and singularly difficult, physically and emotionally. Never waste another minute of your life interacting with that man, and do look into a visiting nurse. You need time for yourself, whether it feels like it or not.

One of my friends actually asked me how do I know it's real if it's not Facebook official?

My best one has to be last year, when I was in my friend Dave's wedding (not his real name). The wedding itself went fine, except for when the lights flickered in the church during the vows and everyone freaked out and the bride's grandmother wanted to start the vows over.

Gizmodo has always been a bunch of boxed wine fanboys. Wish we could get some objective alcohol journalism around here.

Typical Gizmodo. Nestled right in Big Boxed Wine's pocket.

Aww! The Windows user feels left out!

Again.

Don't worry Windows users... we still love you. But just as a friend.

Wow!
