    One, that makes no sense in the context - there's no relation to the book's subject matter so why allude to it?

    Two, if he meant to use it that way why didn't he capitalise and italicise it like you did?

  2. So it's sort of like a bus?

    There should be a "the" before "brave".

    In most places getting a driver's license requires a theory test, and part of that is laws related to driving.

    Even if it didn't, ignorantia juris non excusat.

    It does much more than that, like getting you to sign up for a free trial and then charging you for it.

  7. Re:Broker-friendly hospitals.... on France Begins Opt-Out Organ Donation (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    I know of cases of organ theft including one in France where a man disappeared for several days and was eventually found on a park bench minus one kidney.

    How do you think opt-in/opt-out would have made a difference, assuming it was done by criminals?

    That's if it's not an urban myth anyway.

  8. Maybe they could use the extra time teaching them how to write out words properly.

    Odd that someone so smart doesn't know what overgeneralization is.

    Do you think everyone is going to be a game programmer and spend all their disposable income on games - thus keeping all the other game programmers employed?

    And planes taste awful with spring onions & fresh ginger.

    Demis Roussos? I think he died last year.

    TYMNK: Best known as a crooning granny-pleaser, he was previously in Aphrodite's Child who were a Greek equivalent of Yes/Genesis.

  15. You jest, but the first pair of in-ear ones I had were fine - except when I was cycling - when they used to fall out.

    The solution was wrapping the cable round one of those girly headband things.

  16. It's more sensible than French, where everything is either a he or a she, even if it doesn't have any gonads.

    We're in a post-engineering world. The MBAs know it's all about vision and making all the text light bluish-grey so you can't see it.

    (To any aspiedants reading, it's true that the Earth is orbit around a sun-like star. But that's not what it means).

    I'm not saying it's aliens, because it's probably a microwave or garage door opener like it was the last time, and the time before that.

  24. Watched it multiple times a few years back - it was the kid's favourite for a while. Not sure if he really got it, mind.

    Remember noting that the voice actors were like a who's who of British theatre, and that most of them had gone to the great owsla in the sky.

  25. A code? I suppose we should be grateful there weren't several.
