Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

I'm assuming that Martia's form played by Iman in STVI is supposed to mimic an existing species.

Since I've been working from home, I've used the TV for background noise, have had a lot of episodic crime-solving procedurals on and noticed the weaknesses in the writing are the same across all the shows. The people the cops interview either don't take it serious enough and act like they can't be bothered because what they're doing is more important than a dead person or serial killer on the loose or potential terrorist attack, or they overshare in an unnatural way so that the viewer gets exposition and backstory.

Yep! That's what I had in mind! Boy, George Brett really exploded. Baseball is usually called boring and slow, but that was exciting.

I've never heard of or seen that before, that was insane. Did one of the other players actually grab the bat and try to run off with it? Did they catch him and get the bat?

 

[Oddish]

I thought Hoshi got the bat.

If a humpback whale was editing wikipedia articles and found something unverified would it say "cetacean needed"?

You know, you should really write something about the dairy industry.

Take a deep breath... and let it out. Relax. you're in a safe place. What is it you really feel about cheese?

It's just that the way the cows are treated is absolutely horrible. The cows are locked up, and forced to be constantly pregnant, and the babies are taken away the moment their born. When you go past a dairy farm, and all of the cows are mooing, that's them calling for their babies. I've seen several stories from sanctuaries where former dairy cows have actually gone and hidden when they gave birth because they were so afraid the babies would be taken away from them.

They were trying to get rid of the bat so the officials couldn't look too closely at it. Linky

I was thinking of if Star Trek was Japanese how would they do the NCC-1701. I thought they might use Kanji for the numbers like 一 七零一 but then I saw JS Maya is just DDG-179, so that probably wouldn't happen. I do like the idea of an all Japanese cast, but Sulu is American and Chekov is Chinese or something. If American Spock was loosely based on Western ideas about the devil, is Japanese Spock loosely based on oni? I have this image in my head of the starship Entapuraizu fighting Godzilla.

Nah, Gojira is a localized threat.

IDW has done quite a few Star Trek crossovers in the comics, so this isn't totally impossible.

It's possible that English is used as a common international language. Air traffic controllers use English worldwide..

I'd like to find the bank James Bond used in "Casino Royale". Consider...

* After the poker game, Bond deposits $114,500,000... the pot held 115m, but Bond gave the dealer a red tile (500k) just as easy as slipping him a ten-spot.
* Figure after the torture session, Bond needed some time to recover (I know I'd need some downtime if my naughties got pummeled). Let's say a month, max.
* When the banker arrives to unlock the money, it's grown to $120m. That's 4.8% growth. Multiplied by 12 months, that's an interest rate of 57.6%.
* Leave it there for five years (a little less, actually), and you're a billionaire.

Sounds like me in the pool today. But at least I wasn't sweaty.

Birthday in a week or two and for no reason now I feel depressed because of my age on that date.
