Ted's Comments

I don't believe in any of these at all. But some are still creepy. Considering how recent some of these pictures were taken, why are they being shown in black and white? Because it's easier for our minds to process random images into faces without the facts of colour to get in our way?

And why aren't there lots, lots more of these, considering how many people have cameras in the world?

I would expect to see YouTube chock full of ghostly images.

Wow, not very exciting, is it?

Some could be real - after many takes.
Others don't actually show the whole trajectory of the cans, so some could be faked.

What was that phrase again...?

WGAS?

No probs, Alex. It just threw me off. I didn't see that "moderating" comment like before.

As for this post, I left out Captain Ahab's name. Oops.

Man, this filter business. So the original comment DID go through.

"wat r u talking about ted?
j.k rowling is a great writer, and ur stereotyping gays!!
and u not having an inkling about dumbledore being gay doesn’t really say much, as u dont seem that smart"

Thanks for your insight, alexa. I'm devastated that I don't appear that smart to you, of course, but I'll try to live on.

How am I stereotyping gays? By assuming that not every relationship between two (fictional, of course) people of the same gender is sexual? I just didn't get that from any of the books, and if the allusions were there (as some people say, NOW, after the announcement), they were too subtle for me. Not that we need to be hit over the head with sledgehammers, but it really wasn't that obvious.

Why is JK Rowling not great? Well, that's a subject for another book. She's not a bad author, but she's not "great". She tends to waste pages on useless stuff in the middle, then pack things in towards the end.

I say Captain was gay - he was chasing after that big Moby Dick.

Yes, but would you want to eat one of those chickens after he'd been sitting on them for 45 minutes?

Obviously, the guy remained in the pot, the chickens were pre-cooked. Did they show the very top of that cover? That's probably where he switched the uncooked ones for the cooked ones.

45 minutes is a long time to work your Shenanigans.

How would you get out of the vacuum-sealed tube, then?

As for compression, I was thinking more of the forces involved than the physical solid core of the earth, thus imagining that two things could occupy the same space at the same time - why not?

If there were a tube, presumably we would have the ability to negate any dangerous effects, but probably not the smarts to ensure that people don't jump in from opposite ends at the same time, or the ability to protect it from terrorists.

Oops, my comment got deleted. Darn filters! And it was really witty, too.

I love the Dumbledore's Army one. Perfectly illustrates my comment in the the original one.

If Rowlings really had him in mind as a gay character, she sure didn't include it in the story. I never once got even an inkling that he could be involved in a relationship like that, and I thought the first SpiderMan movie was heavily homoerotic. Get ready for the Harry Potter/ Brokeback Mountain mashups - wait, I think we already have a few.

I guess this just further goes to show how poor a writer Rowlings is, if everybody in the world missed her point about this character.

I love the "don't ask, don't tell". It perfectly illustrates my comment in the original article. In JK Rowling's universe, the only good gay wizard is a dead gay wizard.

Never, ever got even a sense that she writing him as a gay character (and I thought the first SpiderMan movie was heavily homoerotic). This indicates that maybe she was an even worse writer than people think, if the entire world missed her point.

I don't think your atoms would be pulled apart. Wouldn't your body be compressed as you approach the high gravity of the earth's core?

Also, I would want to make sure that nobody's jumping from the other side while I'm in there.
