This is a dumb article. It's filled with so many errors and misconceptions about the show I'd hazard a guess the it was written with no more experience past the first episode and reading episode descriptions after that.
Or maybe they wanted some romantic sweet vampires that were simply misunderstood and are just plain bitter. Whatever it is though I'm not impressed.
A previous poster pointed out the author seems to think "V" is just super viagra, thinks the gay cook is the brother (cousin sorry), thinks it's about hating gays even though the writer is gay and there has been scenes depicting gay bashers as complete morons, etc...
Like I said I have a feeling they didn't even really watch it. This article gets a thumbs down.
Actually only male ligers (and tigons) are sterile.
FEMALE ligers (and tigons)CAN reproduce apparently. Though not with another liger obviously since the males are sterile (so no new race of ligers taking over). They can breed with a male lion or tiger though.
Those offspring are called ti-ligers or li-tigons. Don't know if those second generation partial hybrids males are sterile though.
Makes me wonder if you COULD breed a male ti-liger with a female liger. Then you would have a 5/8 tiger 3/8 lion hybrid. Keep doing that back and forth for awhile and maybe we COULD create a pretty even blend that bred true.
We still don't have miniature tigers (like house cat size) yet though so we should concentrate on that first. 8-P
I was about to say the same thing. When it said "classic interpretation" I went "uh oh. Bright colored spandex and lots of explosive junk. great"
But that bit about each show following one character? Astro City is awesome. That could be really cool.
I can imagine a scenario where we don't survive. Not directly from a huge change to the earth's ecosystem (humanities life support system) though. I think we could theoretically adapt to that. Build new cities in new places, develop genetically modified plants and animals. Build fancy environment suits we always wear outside. Or build dome cities and never leave them. Whatever it took. I think it would be more likely "humanity" would simply kill themselves by acting like they always have.
Most likely people will bury their heads in the sand and just keep on trying to get as much money and power in their pockets as they can until things get really bad (food and water get scarce. droughts and flooding displace lots of people, etc...) Then nations will start going to war because their citizens are starving, etc... but they won't say that. They will say the other guy is evil because "they think x or they look like x/ or wears x" and MUST be stopped. This will squander more resources but give a scape goat to make people feel better.
Of course even then it's unlikely humanity would die out (barring some nuclear solution). Some would win. Ride it out. Whatever. Doesn't mean it would be you or your people though that were around afterwords. Humanity surviving doesn't mean all humans. Just that some humans will still be around. Doesn't mean the society that we are left with after the "adapting" would be a two kids, white picket fence and apple pie kind of place either. The harsher the environment the harsher the society.
My wife just read this article and made the very interesting comparison to the age old "Ginger" or "Mary Ann" question. Apparently most women assumed that Ginger was the one but just about every guy in the universe knows it's Mary Ann. Mmmmm... Mary Ann.
We thought about it and our conclusion was that it's likely the whole "which one do I find admirable" thing. A man (in general) would find the leader, bold, take charge powerful, etc... to be the "to be emulated" one. While women (again in general) would want to emulate the glamorous, famous, adored by many, etc... one.
Humorously enough while my wife has the hots for Spock she also gets a little girly at the mention of Worf. Me I'm all about Tasha Yar and those green alien chicks. Heheh.
I have to say I've had CFL's for 5 years now and I'm never going back (at least until the LED's can replace them). I can't remember the last time I've had to change a light bulb. It's awesome.
I'd buy CFL's just for the longevity and money savings. The environment thing is just gravy. I imagine when you are at the store and you see the larger up front cost it's hard to believe you will save on your electricity bill "later" as it's so hard to prove that. It's true though. I have a electric measuring thing (Kill a Watt I think) and worked out the math on my monthly bill.
Not sure why someone would insist on dealing with changing bulbs all the time and spending more money just "cuz pollutin don't mean nuthin". That just seems weird to me. To each their own though.
FYI: One drawback is you can't use them in your garage. Cold kills the lifespan. They might explain some peoples experiences. I guess if you have a very tight closed enclosure around the bulb it can degrade the lifespan too (though that never happened to me so that might be a rumor).
