Good for him, though comments like "technical people must have 'integrity and character,' and should use their skills for beneficial, not malicious purposes" and "It's his job to fight the bad guys" make his parents sound a bit loony.
I work as a line cook in a French restaurant, and the owners (being utterly against all things precise and formulaic) won't let us make a recipe book of sauces and dressings, instead insisting we always make everything to taste. It probably saves time if we don't have to reference anything and don't have to measure ingredients out, and it's really easy to scale the amounts if you know what you're doing. I don't think they'd approve of molecular gastronomy...
Is this a recent trend, sticking newly-discovered fossils with nicknames from popculture, or do I have overly-nostalgic memories of a past where short people weren't automatically Hobbits and aquatic lizards weren't called Godzilla? Color me unimpressed with recent paleontology research/reporting.

That's weird, because I get plenty of email from rich, newly-widowed heiresses.
I think I just saw this in a webcomic.

Oh, perhaps I've lost the place in the thread. I thought it was something about getting crazy eg-girlfriends to queue up?
No, the previous poster was correct. It is queue, as in the UK English word for a line. "Cue up" is an eggcorn.
TFA in English used the verb "reckon" four times in as many sentences. I reckon I ought to have struggled through the German.

Home of The Onion too!
But there was some ancient cave beer found just recently! (Well, sort of.)
