Isn't obesity just a measure of how much you weigh versus your height, and doesn't account for the percentage that's body fat?

Ah yes, the Mysterious Stranger. So warped, so damaging to young minds. MC linked to this a while back, but it still freaks me out.

Top 100 SciFi/Fantasy writers, as done by a UK magazine.

No, the top spot is not Tolkein.

Complaints: Dan Simmons is only 63. Also Frank Herbert's son being on the list at all.

Don't even need to click on that link to know who you guys are talking about. And yeah, it's a damn shame.

Shale · « **Reply #484 on:** June 23, 2008, 07:23:47 PM »

The link does say "Carlin.obit," so it's not like that takes psychic powers.

I can't help but think that any TV writer or comic who wants to pay tribute to the guy should say the 7 Words on their show, even if they're bleeped out.

Man. Carlin dying's a downer; liked the guy's stuff.

Can't see the list, sadly. Too bad, I'd like to know who they put on there. Remind me to check in three weeks. >_>

SRWZ release date: September 25.

SRWZ MSRP: 8350 yen. Ouch.

Also, three-robot squads, and the favorite system returns in some form or fashion.

New FF Dissidia trailer. Shows all the Hard Confirmed Characters in some manner thus far, exception of Jecht who has been confirmed but doesn't appear in the video.

(That's 11 out of the supposed 20 total characters if anyone cares!)

Seems... "heavier" in style? Hard to put it, but the style of animations is definitely different from OGs. I like it, though.

Religious-right news site has an automatic filter that replaces all instances of "gay" with "homosexual." Somebody decides to run an AP wire story about Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay. Or, as he's now known, Tyson Homosexual.

Quote

After the race, Homosexual and Dix looked at each other and slapped palms, then hugged.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #498 on:** June 30, 2008, 09:20:07 PM »

That was on purpose.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #499 on:** June 30, 2008, 09:47:29 PM »

I think I'd sue them for slander if I was the sprinter. Not because of me, but because it would hurt them.
