Love those Argentinians.

Finally an Argentinian court released the right person!  :D :D

After the last polar bear died because of the heatwave combined with fireworks there have been protests and claims at the zoo entrance and in the media.

Little did they know that she was actually a Colombian Coca farmer.

120 days and I still think of this thread.
http://www.allmusic.com/
^I really like this one.  Lots of interesting news, and allows me to browse music without listening to it.  Lots of info on artists, but I am unsure of the accuracy of all these descriptions, much like Pandora.  That said, Official Band Websites would be the best place to read musician info.  Unless you're looking up the White Stripes:) Also fan websites, big ones, have a lot of stories and info.

I also like the Itcher website, I mentioned it in the apps thread. . I forgot the other movie comparison/recommendation website I used to use. . and it's not rotten tomatoes or IMDB (which I never use for movie recommendations. . it's the only website used popularly, which means it often recommends poo movies)

Star Trek? ("The Measure of a Man").

... but probably before.

I'm not sure about Brent Spiner in Outcast. He's gone all the way from pure logic to the spirit world.  Had his character been a cellphone or a microwave oven, it wouldn't have seemed such a stretch.

Not seen "Outcast". Didn't like the first 10 minutes of the first episode.

I like it.

One thing that is right about it where TWD fails, is that there is swearing in it.  I could never understand how someone could be surrounded my zombos while having their nearest and dearest munched on, and the worst profanity they can think of is "damn" (prolly more like "darn" now I think of it).

The air would be blue if it were me.

I've never seen TWD (not a zombie fan) but I know it's on AMC over here.  Normally, the new shows on AMC are looser with the swearing.  Not the f-bomb or GD of course, but most other words are on the table.

Yup. Linguistic accuracy is important so you don't lose the realism.

I don't watch zombie things either. Not sure that zombies agree with me.

I dunno, they do insist on perfect grammar.

interesting photographs

Interesting pics, goldie. Thanks.

One thing you might want (to gather dust in your drawer). The measuring of the chair is pretty silly. But I love the immaculately white gloves.  :D

I don't think that is ever going to hit mass production as it is essentially a DIY tool.  A DIYer is never going to pay 60 bucks.

The name might have problems too:
