  1. Calvinball! Favorite preposition?
  2. If a language can't recognize a boolean when it sees one...
  3. programmers_Weird = TRUE; Edit: Psst... it's not any specific language. Don't overthink it. Winking emoticon.
  4. Space Quest! Favorite fruit?
  5. “There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as goat and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.” - Homer, The Goatyssey “The goat long united must divide, long divided must unite; this is how it has always been.” - Luo Goatzhong, Romance of the Three Goats “I will set up my name in the place where the names of famous goats are written, and where no goats’s name is written yet I will raise a monument to the goats.” - The Epic of Goatamesh Edit: Forgot to put the goats in.
  6. Well, nobody's going for it, but I'll try. I only played like 2/3 of the first game, though. Push Al Mualim off a cliff. Set... Al Mualim on fire? Relationship with Lucy, I guess. Marry Maria. Wrap a blanket around Desmond. Be roommates with Malik. And let's throw to... Babylon 5!
  7. What's brown and Sixthedy?
  8. Biological sex everyone understands. Gender roles everyone understands. In between the two is the concept of gender, which frankly, neuroscience needs to catch up to. Culture can't grok the concept until the gray areas are settled. And we know what people love to bring in to fill in the gaps.
  9. There's a reason they retitled "Spooks" "MI5" for broadcast over here. It's a racial slur. As always, I have a related movie recommendation: The Human Stain, starring Anthony Hopkins.
  10. I could see that name being problematic.
  11. I rather enjoy things like "Lucy" that announce they're insane up front. Science so bad it's outright saying, "Look, this isn't even close to the real world. Let's just get untethered and enjoy some nice splodey-boom." Edit: Two words: Ken Russell.
  12. Hang on, it wasn't that vitamin. It was a different nutrient. I don't know if I still have my notes around here. In the story, it had caused widespread fatal nutritional problems. Led to much of the workforce being hurriedly replaced by clones. Edit: Lysine, maybe? It was egged on by infrastructure problems, including a reliance on the new corn as a cheap food source.
  13. Oh, man. I have one from a script treatment that's just possible enough to be terrifying.
  14. paᴙty haᴚd
  15. I must inform you Bass flute or not, the truth is You have failed haiku
  16. Door checken fer PR mit der ironstabby goin' bouncy-bouncy. You hooft'r splainin' that?
  17. More from Doctor Goat: Oh, my goaty aunt! Reverse the goat of the neutron flow. Would you like a Jelly Goat? If you value your life, there's one thing you never, ever put in a trap. Goats.
  18. If I just wait and do nothing, somebody will probably post an explanation of electrolytes.
  19. And at various times, as a backlash against modernity. The Renaissance veneration of Greece and Rome, or the recent new age assumption that ancient = wise.
  20. The humor works in places, but for me those places were few. Mostly in the big action scenes.
  21. Push Tony Stark off a cliff, set Thanos on fire, have a relationship with Maria Hill, marry Pepper, wrap a blanket around Bruce Banner, be roommates with Cap. Let's say.... Trek. Next Generation.
  22. I didn't like it. It's choppy, rushes character arcs, has a lazy rehash main plot, and generally felt like a bad action-comedy from the '90s.
  23. Brawndo's got what plants crave. It's got electrolytes.
