This is 2026. You are describing using 21st-centory physics. But the Star Wars universe takes place many, many thousands of years in the future. Better grasp of physics. Maybe they found a way to make sabres that behave exactly like the ones you are paying to see. And Maybe it's All Fiction! Remember "Willing Suspension of Disbelief" That's what makes fiction work. So, sorry, but Superman isn't real.

Sounds better if you don't watch him - the face is distracting from the music. A great skill to have. . .

Does this count as 'littering'?

OK, guys - why does the page say Comments: 1, and when I come here to read it, there's nothing? So, now the total should be 1; we'll see.

I would have liked to see a 'torpedo' shape: tapered front and tapered back.

How does Vader smoke his cigar with his mask on? Could it be The Force?

I used to be irritated about how long it took to actually leave a social event. And then I read about something called "The Irish Goodbye", or sometimes 'the Cat's goodbye'. Just shut up, turn away, and go. It works just like this:

Go and look up Heinlein's book The Menace from Earth - He built the story about using light gravity and large sealed craters to FLY on the Moon! Very realistic and well thought-out.

Oh! That was frustrating. I want the rest of the story - a second chapter -a movie - a series -whatever. Is there a book? If we ask politely, can we get the ending? Please?

When I was 62, the company I was working for lost one major client, so the staff had to be reduced. Because I'd been there long enough to get extended vacations, and was old enough to need occasional health-related time off, I was shuffled out the door. So, I started looking. One of the things you do is call up companies you've worked at before, because you know them well. I was talking to a fellow at one of those places, and I mentioned someone I'd worked with, and the personnel guy remembered him, and he asked how old I was (which they're not supposed to ask), and when I said sixty-two, he mumbled something like: "Geez, those are the guys we're getting rid of.", and then stuttered an apology. So, that's how I learned I was not unemployed, just retired.

I can agree with this article, and from experience. I was a 'smart' kid - the I-Q test I got at age 10 showed I was 136, or in the top 3% in intelligence. And my parents celebrated this, and my teachers celebrated this, and I ran through my school-days very easily. I learned math and science, history and social studies without a blink. And I became LAZY! After high-school, I found I'd never learned how to study, and U. of Waterloo was difficult. Eventually I dropped out in third year, and looked for work. Being smart isn't the answer. Parents and educators should praise Hard Work and progress, not intelligence.

If you can find a way to gather water and transport it to another planet (Star Trek transporter, maybe?) then the place to get it isn't Earth - it's Venus. From way too much to way too little would make both planets better, for our use. (And you could toss away all the other junk chemicals Venus is loaded with.)

I've been calling this 'The Cat's Goodbye', for years.
