Isn’t a century in England like a decade in the states? I mean that barely qualifies as tradition, if that.

My dad’s wife was a rambling mess towards the end of her life thanks to a 20+ year addiction to pain pills. Maybe Rush is experiencing a similar loss of mental capacity? Just a wild guess.

“How can there be a catastrophic event on Mars when there is nobody there to experience the catastrophe?”

“We have no idea what the accusation that NASA is now just a Muslim welcome wagon actually stems from.”

AHAHAHAHAHAHA*sob*...

You missed the best picture- this was taken right after Wales beat England, and it’s sibling rivalry personified:

Open call for any rugby nerds (especially English rugby nerds) to discuss the World Cup in detail.

Well, obviously launching a physical assault on any business is not constructive, but I think the resentment long time residents might feel about a place that is clearly intended to serve the people pricing them out of their homes is understandable and not entirely unfair, independently owned or not. Those businesses…

Um, Derrick? You can buy ENTIRE JARS.

We never got to do anything like that in school, but my Scout troop burned a hole in a sidewalk with thermite for, uh, for chemistry reasons. Yeah, chemistry, that's it.

I once built a gravity-powered trebuchet out of an old basketball hoop stand and brought it to school. Our middle school let us build literal rockets, with explosive engines, for class. My crafts class in high school let us use oxy-acetylene torches and handle molten metal. I guess what I’m saying is, if “make cool…

“we cannot allow items on campus that can be perceived to pose a threat.”

There’s so many lies I tell myself so I can continue to exist in this world without breaking down into a puddle of helplessness. One is that most people are, at their core, good. But shit like this, man... I don’t know.

I have respect for religious people because I believe their experiences of the divine are real to them, even if I don't share them. Enough smart, non-gullible people that I've met have had experiences of God that they believed were real that I have to respect that.

I saw that movie all the way through for the first time a few years ago. IT WAS TERRIFYING. I think the toon shoe getting killed is the part that got me the most. Everything about that movie is absolutely horrific.

I can't hear "Bright Eyes" without shivering in horror. When I saw Curse of the Were-Rabbit, the biggest laugh for me came when Gromit switched off the radio when that song came on.

I have no idea what the hell was wrong with Martin Rosen, but the man honestly seemed like he was on a mission to kill all joy in the world. Especially since the book states clearly that they make it to the island and survive quite happily.

No mention of the cartoon shoe being slowly lowered into the acid vat in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" 20 years later and that scene still messes with me and makes me avert my eyes.
