A lot of those just seemed like 'hot girls shouldn't be smart, smart girls shouldn't be hot'.

And Mace Windu was one of the few GOOD things about the prequels. I adore him and his purple lightsabre, and that both his presence and the color were because he /damned well wanted them/.

What choice do schools have any more? With their funding through the ground and teachers being treated as all-but enemies of the state, they aren't exactly overflowing with ways to bring in much-needed money to continue providing the basic and utterly indispensable (And I say this as a homeschooler!)) service they provide. It's time the country took responsibility and stopped treating schools as something that need more 'austerity'. You could take a half a percent of the defence budget and close to double every school's funding. It's disgraceful. :(

They are not self employed, Team Rocket is a large and often competent criminal enterprise. They often refer to 'The Boss' and most of what they do is to gain esteem in his eyes. They also have their own bad-guy nemesis team in Butch and Cassidy, a far more functional duo of Team Rocket members.

I agree, Harry Potter is a huge omission. Obscure David Eddings books and Redwall get in, but not Potter? Meh.

Both the shirt and the model are awesome. She has a lovely tousled geek girl look to her.

It doesn't just imply that, it blatantly illustrates it, and does so quite effectively. It is very disturbing, yes, but it seems unlikely to change any time soon.

It is clearly a bag for a traveling magnet salesman. Sheesh, I woulda thought that was obvious.

I've never even remotely bought into the 'crop circles are made by aliens' thing.

And I wish it would go away, so these could be seen as the grand, large-scale works of art that they are.

The effort and precision that must go into making them, conceptualizing them, and planning them... That, to me, is mind boggling.

I would never have gotten that this is a representation of Pi. My mind doesn't notice such things, and math and I don't get along. That said, if it weren't for the whole 'aliens!' controversy, I think these would get more attention for the right reasons!

Racism: Making movies better forever!

In Iran, we don't have homosexuals like you do in America.

I hate my 44b's. x.x

Wait. How is 47% a minority? Which group will be /higher/ than 47%?

Seems to me it's less a plurality than now, but 'minority' is a pretty strong stretch.

If Hispanics make up 29%, and whites make up 47%, that is 73% between them, leaving only 25% for 'other' groups

Nope. Not a minority when you still outnumber the rest of the groups by almost 2:1. x.x

Poor Maud, she was so young...

Sadly, not always an option. My daughter was (Hell, still is!) renowned for the smells she produced, and just changing her diaper wasn't always enough to mask the scent of her aweful offal, and when you are out for the day, you can't readily just bathe them. Something like this might have been handy. Well, 'cept we're an MCS (multiple chemical sensativity) family and wouldn't use stuff like this to begin with. ;)

I love Necco wafers, I wish I could get them here in Oz!
