I believe you are mistaken, this is what a hamster needs for true fighting abilities:

It's too bad Trinity never had training from Florance Ambrose.

Wait, Wasp is an eventual love interest of Ant-Man? Knowing some of the rumors for Ant-Man casting, there could be some interesting Whedonverse shipping if Morena Baccarin gets the part...

Am I the only one confused by Bruce Willis's attempt to hunt down and kill Gorillaz? I never really pegged him for being their arch-nemesis.

Quick, someone option the Nursery Crimes series from Jasper Fford! Though I'm not sure how you translate the truly ridiculous setting to TV...not that that's stopped some previous television adaptations.

The funny thing is, I conceived of something like this years ago, in an attempt to make up a scientifically-plausible time machine. I didn't get very far, though, since even with temporally-displaced entangled particles, I couldn't figure out a logically-consistent way to change the past by tweaking various qubits.…

What, no mention of transparent aluminum yet? For shame, io9 commenters.

@trimeta: OK, having now seen the movie, I've got to say, despite the Green Hornet being precisely as superfluous in his own movie as I thought he would be, it's still a great movie. It definitely deserves to be considered among the second-generation superhero movies which recognize the tropes of the earlier movies…

The thing is, none of this is new; astronomers have known about precession for millennia, and the whole "your astrological sign is off by one, and may actually be Ophiuchus" thing has been on the internet for years. I'm not really sure why it's suddenly become well-known.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand why this movie isn't called Kato? I mean, it's like Batman decided to take Alfred crime-fighting with him, only 1. the employer-servant relationship is inverted, and 2. Alfred would be more effective at fighting crime than the Green Hornet anyway.

After reading the explanation, I could notice some changes in the color/shade/size/shape of the objects even when staring at the center, but they appeared to change much more slowly when the ring was moving. Freaky.

@Reverend.Jester: This is the one you mean; stare at the black X, and after a bit instead of seeing the pink circles disappearing and reappearing, you'll see a green circle moving around with no other circles present at all.

"the latest in a long line of women"

You misspelled "Supernatural" on Friday the 28th.

Speaking of string theory, I note that it would probably get at least 75 points by the standard crackpot index (points #26 and #37 certainly, as well as possibly #10, #11, #15, and #19). Just sayin'.

@sephycloneno15: "Bow ties are cool"? Really? Remember what River says: The Doctor lies.

@Too.Tired.To.Sleep: That's the point, in fact: the idea is that the current theories about black holes having infinite density are wrong (since as per the article, "giving physicists nothing but nonsensical infinities" is one of the reasons we know that naïve attempts to merge GR and QM are wrong), and loop quantum…

@CarrerCrytharis: That reminds me more of Jailbot from Superjail.

OK, I'll try my hand at doing the spaceship one. Entries with * didn't require me to Google.

@VicViper: From what I heard, they're calling it "Firefly" as an intentional reference to their being moved to the Friday Night Deathslot. Does it count as foreshadowing if you do it on purpose?
