The only thing I know about is that the villian is straight out demonic posession. I like the classics.

Actually, the better question would be, "Who is smarter; The Jews or 5th Century Greeks." In which period, BC or AD? Because the Byzantine Greeks were pretty spot on, unless you don't think that the advents of flamethrowers, trebuchets and grenades are smart. 5th Century Before Christ, the Golden Age of Classical Greek Civilization. The Byzantines were great engineers and Historians, but were the custodians of antiquity, not the creators. Basically, Classical Greece, in one or two generations and a population of a few hundred thousand, produced some of the finest minds humanity has ever known. On the other hand, the Jews, a small minority, a rounding error in the grander scheme of things, have also produced some of the finest and most influential minds of both modern and ancient times, in all fields. So, that would be the more interesting debate.

Well, yes and no. You have to remember, one of the reasons there was an American Housing Boom is because North American Real Estate is considered an safe, stable investment with low risk and decent return. The world's economy is picking up, however, you don't want to invest in American real estate, because we are still trying to sort out the problems caused by the last housing crisis. So my best guess is that investment monies that were going to the US and Canada in proportion are now going mostly to Canada.

I read "Completely MAD," I know exactly what the comic code was, and what it's effects are, and what it did to EC. Here’s the thing. I was born in 1980. I’m pretty certain both Comics and the Comic Code have been irrelevant for the entireity of my lifetime, so my point is, I find it hard to get mad about these things. Also, "Completely MAD," good read.

Look, if it's not good, you are what? Down six dollars? That's pretty cheap for a buffet. Just try it on a Sunday afternoon and report back.

Yeah, KFC really needs to understand that they are not a fast food place, that they are Steak N Shake, and would be happier as a diner. This whole YUM nonsense of everything being a Taco Bell needs to stop.

I don't get the Comic Code hate. Comics are pretty much dead as a medium today, so who cares what they publish. Back in the 50s, they were very popular with children, and demanding a universal content standred is not unreasonable. Yeah, ratings would have been a better compromise than content restrictions, sure, a nuace that will probably go overlooked by the "This movie is not yet rated" fanboys. But the fact is, the EC Comics were pretty bloody, and were not appropiate for all ages.

On average for a given population, the differences would be minimum. The best evidence we have says that men are better at tactical thinking and women are better at long term planning. Men as a whole have historically had more opportunities for education, which is crucial for putting intelligence to work.
In Re: Race: Race may be related to intelligence; however, the overwhelming factor seems to be class. Saying whites are smarter than blacks, well, you need to take into consideration that white people form an entire society, whereas blacks were mostly poor southern farmhands, or were raised by poor southern farmhands. If you judge the white middle class against the black middle class, intelligence should be comparable.

If one of your friends should die, you can use a Fenix Down or go to that church shaped building that's not really a church, but only prior to 1994.

Best of Trek: TOS: Amok Time. TNG: Inner Light. DS9: Visitor. VOY: One ENT: Tie between Through a Mirror, darkly and that moment in Abrams Trek where Porthos gets lost in a teleporter.
Best Overall: City On the Edge of Forever.
Worst: TOS: The Way to Eden. TNG: The Outrageous Okoana DS9: Profit and Lace. Except for the Sluggocola song. Ent: I didn't really watch many, and all those were 4th season, which was pretty good. However, I'm nominating the pliot. Voy: Threshold.
Overall: Well, Threshold. It's like Dan Brown wrote a book about science.

I belive Brock Lesnar's SSP, and the match where D'Lo crippled Droz are examples of having one bad night ruin one's career.

Yeah, Green Lantern has unique powers and issues that could demand an expansion. Think about it, do you really want to burden the first release with a construct system? Besides, most successful MMORPGs get expansion packs.

Yeah, I have to try too hard to find him funny. The Office UK was the only show I needed an IV after watching.
