  1. Re:what Daytime TV? on The Man Who Knew Too Much · · Score: 2, Informative

    Jeopardy! is syndicated. It airs at different times in different markets. (3 p.m. in Dallas/Fort Worth)

  2. Holly wouldn't have agreed. on Best Albums of 2003, Scientifically · · Score: 1

    LISTER: Holly, why Rimmer's hologram? Why did you have to bring Rimmer's hologram back? He was the most unpopular man on board this ship. I mean, he even had to organise his own surprise birthday parties.
    HOLLY: (Voice only) And who should I have brought back, then?
    LISTER: Anyone. Chen. Petersen. I mean, Hermann Gerring would have
    been more of a laugh than Rimmer. I mean, OK, he was a drug-crazed
    transvestite, but at least we could have gone dancing!
    HOLLY: (On monitor screen) I brought Rimmer back because he's the best
    person to keep you sane. ...
    LISTER: What about Kristine Kochanski? You could have brought Kristine
    back.
    HOLLY: In your entire life, your shared conversations with her totalled
    173 words.
    LISTER: So?
    HOLLY: In terms of wordage, you actually had a better relationship with
    your rubber plant.
    LISTER: I know, but *Rimmer*?!
    HOLLY: He's the person you knew best. Over 14 million words in all.
    LISTER: Holly, 7 million of those were me telling him to smeg off, and
    the other 7 million were him putting me on report for telling him to
    smeg off.
    HOLLY: Jean Paul Sartre said hell was being locked forever in a room with
    your friends.
    LISTER: Holly, all his mates were French.

  3. Re:I hope the DVD includes the original on Ricardo Montalban Recalls Khan · · Score: 1

    In the film, all of Khan's compatriots were 25 years younger than him. It looked like no one else from Khan's generation survived.

  4. So why a monorail? on Vegas: Monorails v. Gridlock · · Score: 1

    Why a monorail? How is it superior to the standard two-rail trains and subways that populate the land? Is it more stable? Safer? Cheaper to build? Cheaper to maintain? Or is it just nifty-looking, like the rest of Vegas?

  5. Re:Master Of Orion on The Lure of Heroinware · · Score: 1

    It's coming out the third quarter of 2002. Quicksilver wants to do it right rather than foist a half-finished bug-ridden beta *cough*Civ3*cough* on its customers. Be patient.

  6. Re:Slashdotted! on Staggeringly Amazing Church of Lego · · Score: 1

    You could get that many folks in the church, but they'd be seated towards the back. No one would be in the front rows.

  7. Re:Insurance underwriter on Interview with Gary Gygax · · Score: 1

    This just backs everything up a step. The insurace underwriting influenced his development of Chainmail, and then evolved into D&D.

  8. Re:Gaming? on Fighting the Scourge of Gaming Addiction · · Score: 1

    Hmmm. Dust off my old AD&D manuals and reform my old face-to-face gaming group.
    Succumb to the pressure of my father, brother, and brother-in-law and take up golf. (talk about your gaming addictions, EverCrack has nothing on Golf.)
    Postal chess.

  9. Re:not just fungus. on Space Fungus Eating Mir (Really) · · Score: 1

    The Blob.
