    Quite nothing like buying a book, start reading it, saying to one's self, "My, these are interesting, intriguing and engaging ideas. I wonder why I have not seen books by this author before." "Because he was a bloody Nazi!" the Internet exclaims. "Well... rust..."

    Yeah, I am pretty much watching this season so I can experience it for myself and not through endless analysis randomly pops up everywhere on the Internet.

    I think it has to do with an algorithm that looks for shots from the episode in other videos (That's why a bunch of people when uploading clips will crop out a portion or reverse the image). This looks like an unintended result instead of FOX merely claiming the clip as its own.

    Do you remember... Your president Nixon? Do you remember... The bills you have to pay? Or even yesterday?

    They need to make a good Man-Thing movie

    Rumors have it that Netflix will be producing a Moon Knight series!

    The new trailer is a lot better than the first one, I believe. Though I won't see it immediately, I won't rule it out.I mean, I did see Batman v Superman, after all

    For me, it's the second one that was all right.As far as the new one... I will probably skip that for a bit. Apocalypse has always appeared as a lame and gimmicky villain to me that should be confined to the nineties...

    Really? How much is it at Whole Foods?

    It's the super power of better sense

    Decided to give the Sandman comics of Neil Gaiman another go, starting with Preludes & Nocturnes, of course! I'm actually enjoying them this time around. Before, I couldn't get through that first volume and thought it was garbage. Funny how tastes change.

    I think we all are!

    I loved those parts!

    "If you want to improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." - Epictetus There's a learning curve that always needs to be overcome, but once you do so the same Zoidbergs booing you now will be bragging about how they knew you before you were cool

    Le gasp!

    Buy more books!

    Yeah, I broke my rule of not reading ebooks in order to avoid that specific problem. My friend is able to hold off on it because she does not frequent the Shard, but me? No way!Hope I wasn't part of the spoiling problem!

    I'm not too concerned. I am neither a Knight Templar or a hedonistic teenager at Camp Crystal Lake, so I feel that I am safe.

    Just remember, I'm no expert on linguistics like that guy who wrote A Clockwork Orange, so you can take what I say with some salt (depending on your blood pressure )Also, if you come up with something interesting/fun, you could always justify throwing it out the window... Like a student named Sinclair being constantly made fun of because it would be like a wizard named Muggle...

    I would say a big issue is that it is purely Spanish, with no Anglo corruption there. It may fly in Mexico, but we're talking about an area whose idea of a taco is wildly different from one who has a more Hispanic background. So, for example, the word for truck in that region would just as often be trucko instead of the proper Spanish camioneta.

    Of course, in the case of the football teams, there are plenty of Native Americans on record saying they find the names/mascots offensive. Knowing some that so do not does not mean all or even a majority do not.But you still raise a good point: do we have actual statements from the effected tribes that take umbrage with the school names?
  23. Orlion Blight
    But... That's, like, almost everybody!

    Dumbledore!
  25. Orlion Blight
    Perhaps all the above! I've been meaning to read the first book, but I'll probably read Fall of Light first... And a bunch of other books... Why is there never time enough to read? It's not faaaair!
