We don't really know if the guy had hentai manga (although I'm sure that doujinshi probably fit the bill, as they usually do), and I think that's kind of an important point. I'm not too keen on the idea of Canadian customs poking through images on your laptop and making snap judgements about what's pornography and…

"Neil Gaiman, one of the finest writers in both comics and novels today, wrote a story in Vol. 2 of The Sandman (entitled "The Doll's House) about a serial killer who rapes and murders his child victims. This was in the 1990's, and it was a comic, a comic that I now own.

From what I've seen, it appears that Jada is more into Scientology-related teachings than Will, and he mostly just goes along with it. Jada is a big fan of L Ron Hubbard's "Study Tech" learning system, which was the basis for the private school the Smiths helped fund.

I'm honestly quite disappointed at how it seems that the charming narrative of The Hobbit is going to be padded out to make two films where one would have sufficed. If there needed to be an additional film to link The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring using additional Tolkien material, then fine. But honestly The…

So...what's the difference between this and that "NuttyMadam" girl on YouTube sobbing and gasping over Twilight movie trailers?

I always wished that Mattel had made an action figure of Lizard-Man from the cartoon series.

Thus the use of the phrase "often to further their own agenda" in my original post.

An informative article about an often-misunderstood process.

Wait — the guy's superhero name is actually "Assylum?" I wonder if he's being ironically clever with that misspelling or if he's just clueless.

I look forward to reaching the point on River Song's timeline where she's not insufferably smug and annoying.

Wow... In the Japanese edition, Gollum looked even more like a frog than in the 1977 Rankin-Bass cartoon.

Perhaps they can solve the mystery of why Cadbury eggs keep getting smaller with the passing years while their price stays the same.

It's good to see that Fiji Mermaid-making art has come so far.

My first "companion crush" from Doctor Who (typical for a gen-X American nerd-boy) is gone? RIP, Elisabeth - you were the best.

WWZ was an entertaining read, and Brooks deserves credit for giving a lot of thought to various details and logistics of a zombie apocalypse that hadn't been addressed before.

A valid point, and at the risk of further human arrogance - perhaps we're the first. Despite the age of the universe, what if we're the first intelligent like-form to ever approach spacefaring technology? Someone's got to be first after all, and they would be pretty lonely.

Exactly. Why would one compare the tail-to-body ratio of a dragon, which is more akin to a dinosaur (or even a cat) in its anatomy to that of a belly-dragging Komodo dragon lizard? A hoard with a mere radius of 9.6 feet? That's not just an insult to Smaug, but also the Dwarves from which he stole the treasure!

I'm admittedly entertained by the ending of this poll. I hadn't really been paying attention to this whole thing from the beginning, because A.) March Madness annoys me in general, and B.) I thought it was a given that ESB would win.

The widespread influence and familiarity of zombie-related pop culture is the real reason why a zombie apocalypse would never get very far in the real world. Seriously, is there anybody left out there who doesn't know that the answer is to shoot 'em in the head?

I was wondering about the whole Mormon story too. Sure, it's about as fringe as you can get with regard to lack of real evidence, and recent genetic mapping has pretty much ruled out any mix of middle-easterners in with the Native or Central Americans. But still, there are millions of Mormons that just accept it as…
