Okay, just watched Space Dandy. Not sure if it was crap, or ultra-mega pretentious crap. Urgh.

I've been a huge fan of the Pixie Tricks strips for a while, and MA3 is incredibly fun. Dangerously Chloe is a lot like A Rumiko Takahashi strip, like Ranma 1/2, but sweeter & funnier. Eerie Cuties has its moments too, though it can get lost from time to time.

For some reason there's a tiger with me, and we're discussing the pointlessness of it all...

This was a tv special not included in the original DVD set. We have it on VCR. Remember those? One of the trivia items I loved was that there was no way Marines were going to do a dance routine, so they hired the LA Gay Men's Chorus and dressed them up. Nowadays Fox would shriek in outrage.

Haha and people might starve. What a cruel summer.

Matter Eater Lad was pretty darn goofy, and he made Legionnaire status. I loved the subs, though.

Mystery Men is a spinoff from Flaming Carrot. These aren't even the oddest in the bunch. Missile Toe was pretty odd. And the Shoveler's shovel was the shovel equivalent of Excalibur. Bob Burden rules!

I saw the top photo in the Avengers context and said, "Allright! Mockingbird. Some development for Hawkeye." Alas, not so. Not that I don't like Canary, but...

At 20million K it may not be having trouble with gravitational heating or radiation. Tidal locking? Anybody good with planetary math want to take that on?

Douglas Adams used to point out that space is technically empty, so planets, suns, moons, etc. don't exist. Obviously they do, and they tend to be amongst the more entertaining parts of the universe at least to those of us love one a planet.

Nice drawing, but by "all" you mean "all in Los Angeles."

I'm a big fan of corvids, especially Ravens, but I'm more interested in the African Grey Parrot tests and Octopus tests. African Greys have amazing speech and learning centers. And if you want to talk about alien intelligences evolved in another context, Octopi rule!

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if a film script I'm developing would be considered fan fiction or not. I was inspired by a short story, and the basic plot and locale follow the original story, but the characters, motivations, and outcomes are very different. Would an "inspired by a story from" cover it? I used to work…

There's a real easy solution to this that neither Americans nor metricists will have the balls to implement. Go to the base 12 number system, THEN go to the metric system. Piss off everyone at once & do it right. Still ten mm to the cm, but now divisible by 12. Get it together, sheeple!

Quadcopters. I wonder how many it would take...

Buildings that were near slums, looking onto the freeway, were revealed to be beauties from a bygone era. The waterfront is alive thanks to the death to our freeway. Good luck Seattle!

As someone who was consuming and studying as much science fiction as possible when Lessing's books came out, I found them terribly disappointing. Wooden characters and dull storytelling. An "established" author slumming, amongst us lower sorts. Having read so much literary SF, LeGuin and Vonnegut foremost. I knew what…

Spoiler free.

The opening animations reminded me of My Neighbors the Yamadas.
