How when my dog is going to throw up, he walks unswervingly away from the tile floor, passes across wood flooring, and walks over to the carpet to do it.

Farewell, Colleen McCullough, and thanks for some fine books...

Non-stop for the last 4.6 billion years, it has always been sunrise somewhere on planet earth.

I am not sure if the author is really honest of he tries to be anti-islamic.

As lawyers say, truth is an absolute defense against accusations of slander.

Thanks for the image.

I hate the word "interesting". Just so many people say it, that whenever I see someone describe something as such, I automatically think it's the opposite. Who knows.

Interesting you should say that... wait, I mean it's not interesting... shoot, I don't know how to respond.

From Pennsylvania...

JANUARY 28--A female driver who was not wearing pants or underwear was sitting atop an empty bottle of Black Velvet whisky when police approached her following a recent traffic accident, according to a court complaint charging the motorist with drunk driving, lewdness, and other criminal counts.

Pennsylvania cops allege that Justine King, 33, struck another vehicle around 11 PM while driving near her home in Aliquippa, a city outside Pittsburgh. Police found King in the driver’s seat of her 2003 Chevrolet Malibu “with airbags deployed.” The vehicle was sitting in an intersection.

When told that she had hit another car, King (seen at right) replied, “No I did not. I live around the corner and was just picking up my boyfriend.” While peering into the vehicle, a cop “observed that King was not wearing any pants or underpants.” The garments, the officer added, “were on the driver’s side under the pedals.”

Officer Joshua Stanga also reported that King “was sitting naked on top of an open empty bottle of Black Velvet liquor.”

The 2005 version had plenty of flaws, but it did somethings right.  The suit for the Thing looked pretty could.  Some of the scenes between the Thing and the Human Torch were fun and had that element from the comics.  Doctor Doom didn't look too bad for an adaptation, but I felt they left too much of the character in the comic books and didn't bring enough of him to the screne.

Rise of the Silver Surfur, I felt the same.  Plenty of flaws but stuff to like as well.  Although I can't get behind portraying Galactus as a puffy pink cloud made out of cotton candy.  I get what they were going for, more of a force of nature-but it didn't look good and he was defeated way too easily.

This does not look like a superhero movie.  This is Interstellar: with super powers.  That might not inherently be a problem.  After all, the Thor movies have a huge fantasy element to them, and Captain America is more war and spy movies.

I don't know if I'm going to see this one. 

Newspaper editor
It is STUPID! to possibly p**s off reporter from an out-of-town major daily, by denying the reporter the use of an empty desk in the newsroom.

Out-of-town Reporter
It is STUPID! to steal a child's stuffed toy from the memorial set up for the victim.

Father
The father of the victim's rage is STUPID! because it comes at the wrong time. If he is raging, it should come at the time, when he first learns of his son's murder at the beginning. Not at the ending, when he confronts his son's murderer in the police station jail, which is itself an act of stupidity/incompetence by the police.

Both father and mother
Not to notice that their son has a brand new smart phone, which they did not buy him, which should raise questions, but does not, who did buy it for him and why?

And not to find the equivalent of almost $800.00 that their son has stashed in his room, when they are always finding that porno magazine, one has stashed in one's room.

Next time: since we have taken up the stupidity of the town's citizens, we'll take up the incompetence of the town's police force.

Timeline
From the time Thanos is born on Titan till the time he first flees Titan.

It'd be interesting to know what time they keep on Titan, but here we'll use standard earth time.

Timeline
Year 0 Age 0

Thanos is born brain damaged, as the umbilical cord that wrapped around his neck, as he was born, deprives his brain of the oxygen that it needed to be normal.

Thanos is born inheriting his mother's insanity. And that is something I know about. For on my mother's mother's mother's side of the family, we can trace back insanity in the family for more than 160 years.

1st Female Betrayal
His mother tries to kill him.

He is then saved by his father, who then seemingly washes his hands of him.

Both events Thanos remembers.


Year 1 Age 1
Eros, Thanos' younger brother, is born one year to the day after Thanos is born.

2nd Female Betrayal
Eros quickly becomes his mother's favorite, which Thanos remembers.


Year 2-6 Age 2-6
Thanos is educated at home like most of the children of the elite.
