I predicted in about 10 years disclaimers at the beginning will include, 'This show depicts murder. Neither the show's creators producers or actors condone the taking of another human life.'

What if the claim were false?

What if she wasn't from Pitcairn? No big deal other than her credibility comes into question.

What if Gengis Kahn did not exist? Nothing lost, we already doubt our historical record.

What if Jesus did not exist? Suddenly the largest religion's foundation is gone.

What if God doesn't exist? Many people lose their reason for existing..

That which has enormous impact should require proof of truthfulness.

I dislike Trump as much as the next sane, intelligent human, but context matters. The ways specifically talking about going to NBC and running a show. And there, yes, ratings are all that matters.

Not sure how a flood explains a wagon wheel ending up 3000 feet underground, but maybe I were religious to explanation would make more sense.

'...voluntary mandatory shift coverage.'

Someone should be gifted a dictionary for Supervisor Appreciation Day.

I visited by accident. I was expecting a 'house of horrors' or a cheesy wax museum of ancient oddities. It was way more serious and depressing than I expected. And I have no regrets. The tragedy of humans fucking over their neighbors and acquaintances was eye-opening

Really? It seems to me that if you believe blenders should be tamper-proof, you must believe that all appliances should be.

I destroyed the casing to learn why my Phillips screw driver couldn't grab the screw head.

The screw head was at tho bottom of a 2 inch shaft. I destroyed the casing just to find out what the issue was.

Basic blender went bad (motor ran but spindle wasn't rotating). I wanted to disassemble to see if it could be repaired. Three of the four screws were Phillips head. I had to cut the casing open in order to discover why I couldn't unscrew the fourth. It was a slotted spanner.

There is an old fable that tells of two Asian monks walking down a dirt road and they came to a stream. At the stream there is an imperious woman of noble birth waiting impatiently for her carriage to be freed frob the muddy bank so that she can continue on her journey. She turns to the the monks and shouts at them to carry her across the stream. The younger monk freezes in uncertainty because their vows forbid them to touch a woman. The older monk approaches the woman and offers to carry her on his back. The entire trip across the stream she is shouting orders and complaining about his efforts. When they reach the other side she turns from him, ignoring him completely and turns her attention to continuing on her way. The older monk continues on his journey and the younger monk follows. They are silent for hours, the younger monk becomes more and more enraged at their treatment by the noble woman. Finally, he says to his companion, "Aren't you angry at that woman because of her treatment of you when you carried her across the stream?" The older monk replies without breaking his stride, "I put her down hours ago."

I don't know if it's the greatest, but Ice Pirates is too often overlooked.
