I remember I did this with Wash when I introduced my roommate to Firefly. I waited until the movie to spring it on him. He almost slapped me.

It's really not...

Focus sash, Endeavor, quick Attack, Rattata

First thing I thought of was Cloud City on Bespin.

I used to think this way...but then I actually wrote something with symbolism and specific word choice, and I obsessed for weeks after I submitted it about "will the reader catch this subtle hint? Will they see what I did with the word choice there? Will they understand the significance of that phrase?"

While my music preference is in line with the one presented by this picture, I can't help but notice that it seems to be a comparison of appearance rather than sound. You didn't *need* to use such unflattering pictures for the unfavored artists.

Also, cameras might help detectives. If a suspect leaves a clue as he/she is fleeing or if the crime scene is in a way that it won't stay preserved (like say it's outside and raining heavily), a camera would help people working on the case after the crime has happened. It would also help sketch artists if, again, the criminal was caught in the act but fled before he/she could be apprehended.

False. Man or woman, I can't see flesh that's normally covered by a t-shirt or shorts without my mind feeling sick. Not because I consciously want to, mind you, it's just like how some people involuntarily mentally gag when they touch slimy things or see blood or hear someone vomit.

"I LIIIIIIIIIIIIVVVVEE!"

He also keeps his awesomeness for the expanded universe novels!

I love this movie. Surprisingly dark and sad in some places, but also hilarious and fun in others.

"Thousands of papers have explained, refuted, or expounded on Mach's principle, written by physicists, philosophers, and other assorted characters (including a cosmologist wannabe named Vladimir Ilych Ulyanov Lenin).

I do believe that that cat is cosplaying as Char Aznable.

Technically, we've had jetpacks since the '60s. Look up the "Bell Rocket Belt."

You're not an illegal immigrant if you've won/bought/cheated the land and are the new owners. So this doesn't really work.

Oh, how I would love to explore all of these places! Except the Sea Forts. I'd rather make those into a book. They do look kind of like some sort of giant semi-steampunk futuristic invasion walker drone forts, don't they?

What is this from? 'Cause I could swear I'm looking at my sister, but as far as I know she's never been onscreen. o_O

You could have some recursive fun if any of the books took place in the real world (where that library existed) and you could choose a book while in your book. (and continue recursing if that book also took place in the real world.)

Fashion? Oh, no no no, this is just mY SUPER SUIT! SPIKE POWERS, ACTIVATE!

I'd rather be the one cuddling, but I wouldn't mind this situation either.

Not me. I'd be running around dodging between columns and bouncing off walls! And then finding the builder and trying to commission a full house/labyrinth/obstacle course in that style!

Darn it, stop stealing my book ideas before I'm done writing them! I'm still working on that one!

"Not all art!"

Impressive!

I actually agree with the second person. He should have dressed accordingly for the event. This was a "wardrobe malfunction," not a sexist attack on female scientists.

The Lion King isn't Hamlet. It used Hamlet as one of many sources of inspiration. There's a difference.

I've often imagined a life without timekeeping. Then I imagine a teacher inventing "due dates". Poof goes my utopia :(

I remember a prank program I kept on my old flashdrive that let you use a picture of your friend and then put the prank on their computer, and they'd get popups using their picture.

Does that mean that all of those lonely fans who love things that don't happen to have fandoms are orphans?!?

I was always Player 2 because Player 2 had to use WASD while Player 1 used arrows, and my younger brother refused to use the WASD controls for some reason.

I really can't. This is a fantastic story idea, and lots of men would have no problem enjoying it! And the ones who can't handle a female lead? They'd probably just walk out on a great movie. But I can't imagine any male tears. Unless maybe if there was a terribly sad moment in the film and all the women spontaneously and coincidentally left right before the scene and came back when it ended. Or if they banned women from seeing it. "Sorry ma'am, we can't let you see this. No women allowed. If you see it, that's one less man who will see it, and we need to have the maximum number of male tears!"

It doesn't have a page 206, so I went to page 103.
GUARD 2 Nay, empty 'tis! The scanning crew doth work
E'en now.
"Empty" sounds about right.

Fun Fact: at one point in history, the US Navy commissioned a bunch of gunblades called Elgin Cutlass Pistols. They look kind of like a Brute Spiker from Halo but with one blade instead of two.

That depends on the nature of the time stoppage. For example, if you froze the passing of time without freezing motion itself, things would still happen, but it'd all be in the same instant. Which I think would be even cooler than the "everything stops" kind of time stop. Imagine being able to marathon three shows, hold a dance party, read a book series, build an invention, take a twelve-hour nap, and then finish your homework, all in one hour!
Unfortunately, physics has only proven that it works in reverse. If you are moving at relativistic speeds, you can take a year to do an hour's worth of stuff, but not the other way 'round. (Unless there's a new development I don't know about! Someone please correct me and say that we've solved total time manipulation!)

I'm not sure that's quite true. Most villains have some kind of justification, goal, or cause that they fight for, but then there are the ones who've just said "heh, life's stressful, so I'm just going to release all inhibitions and destroy and murder and ravage whenever the randomness and chaos of my mind tells me to!" A villain without a cause can't be a hero, even to him/herself.

One of my favorites is:
"Lead and read rhyme, and so do lead and read, but lead and read don't rhyme, and neither do lead and read."
