Maybe he found something in one of those home remedy books. You know, like a mustard pack, or running the vacumm cleaner while massaging your feet... Hey, they work!
I can't remember exactly what the formula is that the scarecrow recites when he gets his diploma, but I think it was the square of the hypoteneuse is equal to the sum of the other two sides. And that just isn't right.
Yes, the equation that the Scarecrow recites isn't correct. That's a bit of a joke. The Wizard, after all, does not give the Scarecrow a brain... he gives him a diploma. And, right before the Wizard gives gives him the diploma, he says, "Back where I come from, we have universities, seats of great learning, where men go to become great thinkers. And when they come out, they think deep thoughts and with no more brains than you have." It was a bit of a dig, you see. I always thought it was quite funny.
I would consider myself a huge Kubrick fan, but I will admit that 2001: A Space Odyssey doesn't tell the story real well. Excellent imagery, poor story telling. Not all the scenes are explained, camera shots are based upon imagery rather that story continuity, the B story is given more screen time than the A story, etc. But, if you've read the book, and are in a very patient relaxed mood, it's an excellent cinematic experience. Of course, you have to have a nice home theater set up. It just doesn't come across well on a buzzing VHS tape played through a 19" B&W screen.
This is exactly right. Our legal system, like it or not, is not based so much on logic or rights or justice, as much as it is on semantics. The prosecution didn't argue that the product itself was defective (which is was), but rather that some people were damaged. Really, the win for MS didn't have as much to do with Meirs' defense and it did with the crappy prosectution.
Well, I plan on doing my part this weekend. I'm gonna knock up as many women as I can find. Of course, just reading/. does dramatically lower my odds of being succesful but... fight the good fight, eh.
Because they were "different" than modern humans we simply killed them off for trying to take our resources.
Plus, we wouldn't let them into our country clubs or any of out finer colleges. Nor would we let them own land in the Hamptons. This really pissed the Neanderthals off.
Fuck yeah! This is a great idea. Scientists kick ass! Hell with the sanctuaries, though. Set them loose across the midwest. Elephants running down the middle of highways, lions climbing the St Louis Arch. It'll give us something to shoot at with our guns.
You know, I'm fine with this; and I'm not one to agree with Mr. Bush. Mostly, I'm ok with it because Bush says that intelligent design should be taught "alongside" with evolution a competing theory. That mean evolution will be taught. Others would have evolution removed entirely from the curriculum. That's just plain wrong. Even if you don't believe in it, you should be exposed to it. That's how you make informed decisions.
Most of the people I know that are whole heartedly against evolution, haven't got the faintest idea how it works. They were never exposed to it and won't take the time to read anything about it. However, when I was in grade school, my science teacher would occasionally interject that intelligent design is a possibility that can't really be ruled out. Then he'd go right back into evolutionary theory. I believe he was doing it to keep certain people off his back. But, it didn't turn me into a right wing ultra conservative bible banger. It just taught me to keep an open mind. I still believe what I believe, but I do admit that I might be wrong.
Of course, the real problem they are going to run into is which intelligent design concepts they are going to teach. Even sticking within the Judeo-Christian dogma, there's quite a few different viewpoint on the subject. These are teachers after all, not theologians. But, that topic will only cause heated arguments amonst all the right wingers... which is always fun to watch.
The overall suckiness of the prequels isn't due to the fact that we know the eventual outcome (they have been able to overcome this with Titanic or an other historical film, as well as any film from an existing series, i.e, Star Trek, James Bond, etc).
Ep 1-3 could have had a completely different story arc than it did. They didn't have to exist souly to tie up plot points and make corn ball jokes referencing the OT. It could have been a series of adventures following Obi Wan around the galaxy, thus giving it it's own purpose and enabling it to stand on it's own merits. But then, that would take originality and a decent script, two things Lucas hasn't hadsince Empire.
It is true, people will blame this on iPods. Just like people thought every Pinto will explode if you tap the rear bumper. There are tons of LiIon cells out there, and they usually last fine if they are manufactored correctly and housed properly. Being battered around in a washing machine for a half an hour probably isn't something the iPod was designed for.
I inhaled fumes from an exploded LiIon battery once. Nasty stuff.
Because the Sith are a highly uncontrollable lot that can only exist in pairs. Any more than two, and they destroy each other. In addition to combat skills, they wanted an army that was highly susceptable to suggestion that would follow any command without question.
Being a convicted drunk driver doesn't mean you're a bad driver. Just that you shouldn't be driving ONCE you've been drinking. As far as that's concerned, it doesn't mean you shouldn't be allowed to drink, either. Drinking is legal. Just driving while you're drunk is not.

So .... let me get this straight ... Yoda and Palpatine were lovers?!.... and that's why this whole thing started? A lover's spat?

This isn't Rock and Roll, it's GENOCIDE! There, now's it's off topic.

Yes, we sold you a faulty product, but it didn't actually inflict any harm. So ... na-na na-na-na!

Sour grapes. Just because you never impregnated a woman ...
Was I the first? Oh, someone beat me to it. Damn.

Don't worry. If things get out of hand, just type in IDKFA.

I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Not like here. Here everything's soft... and smooth...
