Exactly. Increase muscle power, decrease longevity of the heart. Change the blood, hurt the kidneys. It would be a constant recursion to fix all the things you broke by fixing something else. Like "There was an old lady who swallowed a fly." Not that there's anything wrong with that. But it's what the reality would be.
I still prefer the scene in Swamp Thing II where he feeds Heather Locklear a sex cucumber.
You don't enjoy competency porn?
I'm always waiting for the movie about the greatest masturbator in the world. I think that could be the greatest competency porn movie of all time.
I enjoy John Hodgman an unreasonable amount. I fear I suffer from Hodgmania.
I agree for the most part, insofar as you can really make that claim about a book. It's a bit like saying "My six red apples are more than your six red strawberries." It just doesn't parse logically... but yeah... that was a hell of a book.
Anytime you read something and put it down feeling like someone took your gray matter, stretched it out all over the place like taffy, did origami with it, and played it like a harp... well, you can't really do anything but applaud.
I never get how characters in these shows (like Scully in the X-Files for instance) continue to be skeptics after having weekly adventures where they encounter things which are pretty obviously supernatural. In these story universes, you'd have to be an idiot not to believe in spirits when you are terrorized by them on a weekly basis.
MASS individual murder.
I'm glad it works so well. I can't imagine the shame I'd feel if I developed a weapon of mass murder that failed to end the lives of thousands in a ruthlessly efficient manner.
I agree. It's glad to see people aren't wasting their lives developing medicines, food storage technologies, or improving public health in other ways.
Have you ever seen anyone die?
Or had to kill someone?
I wonder if he gets the same kind of animal satisfaction I get from popping a zit... but times a million.
I have never read The Lord of the Rings. And every time I try, I fall asleep.
But don't you think it's the kind of sensual handshake that should be saved for marriage?
When I very young "Search for Spock" had me thinking that Pon Farr was nothing more than a very sensual handshake.
To quote Terry Pratchett: This is like pornography for the mind.
You don't really believe the human race is static do you? We go through cycles just like any other animal. And are you further suggesting that we shouldn't terraform Mars because we might turn it into an arid uninhabitable wasteland? Because that is just dumb.
We should all run through the streets, smash windows and tip-over police cars. It's about time people got excited like that for science.
This may be a stupid question (and someone please let me know if I'm overlooking something technical) but if we can't see Bane's mouth and there's no risk of his words no synching correctly... why don' they just have him re-record his dialogue and fix it in editing?
I know. This and Improve Everywhere make me feel so much better about being a human being. It's like they're con artists for the Good.
I'm sorry, but Richard Dean Anderson will ALWAYS be MacGyver. The parts of Stargate where he got smacked with Ancient Knowledge was just his natural MacGyver intelligence bleeding through into the new series.
