include pictures.

There's an idea for io9: what film did the most to piss off the existing fan base before it was released? Include pictures.

I thought the construction of the sentence was complete. "So, I had one wug, now I have two." Period. When forced to come up with a finial word, I felt pressured, thought Wugs, then perversely changed it to Wuggim. Probably a more complex interaction than necessary.

I want to say thank you for presenting this article.s this is the clearest explanation of quark binding I've ever read.

Anti-Zionism doesn't mean pro-nazi, something his critics don't get. Not that I'm particularly a fan of his.

Well this wasn't MY childhood. The 1960s were pure & perfect in every way! Anyhoo, researched a few of these, and while some are true, some are very questionable if not complete bullshit. Milo & Otis deaths were rumored after the fact by a animal activists, not proven. Judi Barsi's (Ducky's) dad who killed her was…

I think Ford submitted it, but I'm not sure if it made it into the next edition.

I had a writing teacher who said Anna Karenina is about an unhappy girl who jumps in front of a train. It misses a couple of nuances. Or as the Hitchhikers Guide says about Earth, "Harmless." Lots of fun.

Flare on at The Crucible in Oakland.

As Mao said, political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Any time you have a police force/army willing to enforce the will of a government, and the will of the government can be received in a timely manner, you can have an empire. The Romans had governors ruling far-off provinces, and an army at hand. If the…

I wonder how long they can make these? Once you get past the flats, Oakland is on the side of a mountain. These would be amazing. The intense hills here keep me from rising to work.

Absolutely! To watch him channel his rage into a sense of universal justice and love was amazing.

SF Bay Area was warm & dry. Filmed a movie all January, expecting to change shoot days. Nope, sunny all the way through.

One of the things the muppets were known for was giving the muppeteers free rein to throw ideas out there. These were/are brilliant people who would try things out. If they worked, great, if not, onto the next. I don't get the love some people had for specific muppets, but as you've seen from the replies there's a lot…

If they did history they've got whole armies whacking away at each other. Henry V loses a few thousand Frenchmen. Hard to put in a graphic.

At a Star Trek convention I attended I asked LeVar Burton why on all the planets they visited the "aliens" were of a single race compared to the federation. The next season, on an episode he directed, there were Romulans being played by African-American actors. While I won't take credit for it, he was someone who took…

Every Marx Brothers film except Duck Soup, and all Abbott & Costello films

I'm a big fan of vasimrs, and can imagine them well perfected by the time humans get there.

I agree there needs to be massive shielding, probably electro-magnetic. Though if there's lots of water ice in the system that's a great sponge for way stations between the big moons. Part of my point is that there will undoubtedly be several tech breakthroughs that we can barely contemplate by the time humans make it…

My wife and her identical twin sister are considered "mirror twins." One left handed, one right. In the mirror one looks like the other. This is odder, though, seeing these photos. There's such a thing as half-identical twins, and this feels like that. There is some "uncanny valley" action going one with the…
