As someone whose Star Trek experience goes back to the original airing (I was 12 when it premiered), I loved Galaxy Quest. It was an affectionate send up of '60s Sci-fi TV tropes. Too bad the studio did not know what to do with it.

In the TV special, I always got a kick out of the murder scene. As the Misfit Toys are dropped off to their new homes, the swimming bird (he cannot fly) falls to his death while the elf waves bye bye. The crime starts at 0:45 in this clip.

In my experience, many companies are not interested in keeping their long-term employees anymore. It is cheaper and more profitable to hire low-wage part timers. Especially profitable if they don't have to offer insurance or benefits to those working less than 30 hours per week. Where I work, I am one of the 10% who have been there more than 5 years. The other 90% are mostly part timers who learn the skills and then find full-time work somewhere else. If my company offered full time to new employees, maybe some the 70% who work there less than a year, might have stayed.

That "viking sword" he is holding is a $70 wall hanger with a stainless steel blade.If you are looking for something that won't break when you use it, get one with a carbon steel blade.

"Turtles with serious respiratory infections, often those resulting from vitamin A deficiencies, might tilt to the side when swimming, which could cause them to flip over. A lack of vitamin A changes a turtle's mucous membranes in his eyes, mouth and respiratory tract. Early signs of an infection include lack of appetite, nasal discharge, eyelid swelling and discharge, ear swelling and bubbling in the mouth. By the time the turtle starts tilting or flipping, the infection has gone into his lungs. He can no longer stay buoyant in the water. Take your pet to the vet as soon as he exhibits abnormal symptoms or behavior."

Please cite where Shakespeare wrote the above quote.
I do recall a piece by Henry Van Dyke (1852-1933), which goes:
“Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear,too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.”

Of course, as a conservative think tank, Claremont Institute is totally unbiased.Yeah sure.The author was attempting to distance himself and "conservatism" from the very real threat the republican party has created.
