So as I understand it, to keep the children safe they're restricting their physical activity at recess and shoving glorified fast-foods down their throat at lunch time? Beautiful.
The Good ol' USA - land of the lard.
The current prequel idea has Hollywood screwup written all over it. Why don't they buy the rights to "Starship Exeter" and do a big screen/big budget version of that? Now you've got a whole new story line set in a familiar ST era following all the known ST rules.
I learned people did that the hard way when I was doing desktop maintenance on various systems in my group and emptying the recycle bin and deleted items folders just out of habit. Apparently, there are *a lot* of people out there that store their mail in their deleted items. I had one woman that was using folders, built off her deleted items folder.
Madness.
I shop at Lowe's instead of Home Depot simply because they're point of sale systems are all running KDE on a Linux distro. In fact, all their systems appear to be running KDE.
I once knew a guy, well actually it was me, that memorized a ton of SKU numbers at the now defunct Ames Department Stores. No one was impressed and the knowledge is useless, but all candy bars were 672 35515.
There are several states that have not converted to milemarker based exit numbers, the big one being New York. The New York State Thruway Authority is afraid that motorists will be confused by the milemarkers based numbers because they won't know how many exits they need to pass to get to their exit. Never mind that the exit sequence on one portion goes 21 - 21B - 21A - 22, you're not suppose to notice that. They also don't want you to notice that the exits are numbered backwards (west to east instead of east to west), span two separate interstates and are messed up enough so that Interstate 87 goes exits 1-13, 1-24, 1-42, all in the same state.
Other states that number their exits sequentially include Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and some roads in Delaware and the NJ Turnpike.
The funniest yet saddest thing I've ever seen on the road is when a guy slammed into a car in front of him because he wasn't paying attention while he was shaving and driving at the same time.
The kicker - he was using shaving cream and a blade!
I wonder if that means Westinghouse nuclear plants have the "Lock 'n Spin" feature, like their old washing machines from the 1960s and early 1970s (before "White Westinghouse") did.
I was a student music teacher long ago and taught in a classroom (school was built in the mid 60s) that had the same type of acoustics, in fact, the particular note was A above middle C. The first time I had a choir of about 40 junior high kids sing that note in unison I thought the blackboard was going to vibrate off the wall. It was very weird.
Build a cage around the theatre so that cell phone signals can't get in and you'd be back in business. There's so many people yakking on their cell phones, text messaging, etc. that its ridiculous. You want to talk on the phone? Go outside and talk. I don't think it's an unreasonable request.

Wow, that's a lot of ringing.

No wonder the visiting aliens won't reveal themselves, they're too busy laughing at these silly Earthani.
