One of my students asked me this the other day. I don't think they fully appreciated the implications of my reply when I said "Jedi liason to Starfleet."
Speak for yourself. I like really spicy food!
The only state of matter that doesn’t pass through the anus is plasma.
Sheer brilliance.
when I become an eccentric billionaire I'm going to buy every house in 10 square blocks of unremarkable suburb. I will have them all furnished and decorated except for (and this is key) one house in the dead center. this house I will put up for sale at a ridiculously reasonable price for the area. once it sells, and the new owner/couple/family moves in, the plan will spring into action.
every single house besides the one in the center within my 10 square blocks will remain uninhabited. I will put all the lights inside on timers so that it appears that people are living in there, I will have lawns mowed when I'm sure everyone in my victim house is at work/school, I will have decorations put up during the holidays and cars moved there and parked in driveways when I'm sure that the owner/couple/family in the house at the center is not there to witness it happening. I will produce all the superficial trappings of life without a single person actually being there.
who knows how long it'll take them to realize that something is wrong? when their kids are playing in the yard, and they notice they've never seen another child around here even once, despite the four-bedroom family homes all down the street? after a few weeks, when they realize the lights in the house across the way click off at exactly 9:45, on the second, every single night? when they've been living there for a month and a half and they realize they've never seen a single car park in front of another house? when they want to greet their neighbors and not a single house in the whole neighborhood opens its door?
when they do realize that they're completely alone here, what would they do with that fact? what would you do if all at once, as you stood in a crowd, you realized that every single person around you was a mannequin? it's unnerving, sure, but enough to warrant a move? how long will they live in this idyllic ghost town before it gets to them? can a person survive in a dollhouse? Thank you. *I wave to the crowd as I walk offstage at my ted talk. one person gives a halfhearted round of applause from the back. a talk about sustainable ecosystem management was scheduled for right now and no one knows how I got up here.*
I have this game right now, less than 20 feet from me. Haven't played it in years. Kinda fun!

Is it still owned by the creationists? That's depressing. It used to be slightly scientifically accurate.
Going to the Cabezon creationist dinosaur theme park today if anyone wants to hang out
Coffee with half and half and sugar. My hot tea blend the same way.(half fine black tea, usually something from Cornwall, and half roasted Yerba mate')

We need a Pokémon/Star Wars crossover. I'm just not sure which side most of them would be on.
i'm bored someone start an argument
My wife and I have chosen not to have children. We have virtually no experience with babies of any sort. Yesterday, we found an abandoned week-old kitten behind our back fence. It's been less than 24 hours and we are already offering her money if she will go back to sleep.
They missed such a great opportunity to go with horg.org . Bummer
As someone who teaches human reproduction every year, I can't imagine teaching this shit instead. Abstinence-based sex ed is not sex ed. It is exactly the opposite.
