Dark One

Well, iirc, The Mist was directed by Frank Darabont, so it's not unexpected that some actors would've shown up in there.

Only if she floats.

There is no uncertainty. Had they not included those scenes, then there would be uncertainty. But since they did, it is pretty much a massive flashing light saying, "Bruce Wayne is alive!".

Also, what Agent White said. Was there any indication to Alfred that Selina was anything to Bruce other than a thief?

Other than the techs saying that the auto-pilot has been fixed in the airship. Granted, Alfred didn't, iirc, know about that.

Alfred could be imagining it, but he did tell Bruce what he did on his vacations so it is conceivable that Bruce did it to let him know he was alive without having to get into the whole awkward reunion thing. And then there was the lawyer-guys going over the estate not being able to find Bruce's mother's pearl necklace.

Claudia? We get evil Claudia. That means skimpy outfits, vamping, and the assorted mannerisms!

Also, more kewt Myka girl-crush on H.G.!

A similar quote from Liet Kynes in Dune:

'When God hath ordained a creature to die in a particular place, He causeth that creature's wants to direct him to that place.'

Sayings that I think are very germaine to the whole discussion on whether or not we can protect ourselves from the randomness of the universe.

Eh, I'd go with Medical Test Subject or Landmine Clearer. At least that way there's some use from him for the betterment of the world. Life imprisonment isn't really a punishment for him, it's a punishment for the taxpayer since they'll have to pay to house, feed, and care for him for the rest of his life. Plus, there's the whole, "Why should he live when so many lives were cut short?".

Either way, he'll be in prison for a minimum of 20+ years. Simply due to the asinine nature surrounding the death penalty laws (Colorado is one of the States that has it) and the absurd number of appeals that get done for each and every guy there.

Max of one appeal and if that fails, he's marched off to the table before the day is through IMO.

Ya, the local theater isn't offering a 3D version despite having the capabilities to do so (like the new Ice Age is being shown in 3D) so it doesn't look like there's a 3D version of TDKR.

I'm not normally one to think of things like this, but sounds like a guardian angel was screaming in your ear. Glad to hear that you're ok, but saddened by the fact that that event happened at all.

It was some foreign language. Given the area, I'd say some form of Arabic. It meant, "Rise". What exactly they were saying... *shrug*

Yes, he would. The older episodes simply don't exist anymore. The tapes were reused rather than kept. Occasionally, they'll find some tv station somewhere has a copy of one of them, but the chances of getting a full run are so slim, they might as well be zero.

They aren't cute. That coloration is a warning. As in, "Don't mess with this.". No different than a rattlesnake shaking its tail.

Feral dogs, no. Coyotes, yes. Close enough to not matter. I can go outside pretty much every night and hear them howling nearby. They've harassed my pets in the past and come close enough to my father to have him concerned for his safety.

And that's not really answering the question, now is it?

Let's see...an animal that is on every continent and regularly comes into contact with humans as well as being in jurisdictions that have shoddy at best vaccine programs vs animals that are specific to a much smaller region and are not really transplanted across the globe.

I've provided numbers to back up my argument. While it is possible that overall dogs and other domesticated species may act as the larger carrier, they do not in this country.

I've babysat ferrets for friends in the past. Even descented, they still have a quite strong odor.

As for removing the scent glands, that's not legal in (if wiki is right) the UK, since it's a cosmetic surgery.

Just because something is legal, does not mean it is a good idea. And there is no recognized vaccine program for pet skunks, so they may still get the disease and pass it on.

Pheasants - valuable game bird; eat insects and seeds, both of which can help to reduce the usage of herbicides and pesticides in cropland.

Frogs - eat insects; may act as a dampener on damaging grasshopper populations.

Lizards - same as frogs.

Earthworms - soil aerator and enhancer.

Other birds such as swallows and kildeer - eat mosquitoes and other insects

Skunks have no real predator other than the great horned owl. There's not a whole lot there to keep their populations in check. Instead, they can do damage to other populations that are much more useful and beneficial.

How do you get that from what I said? They're only "scarier" when you talk un-developed and/or poorer nations. And that's because of the lack of resources available to have a viable vaccination program.

According to the CDC, 92% of all rabies reports in 2010 (think it just means the US) came from wild animals, of which 36.5% were from raccoons, 23.5% from skunks, 23.2% from bats, and 7% from foxes. Only 8% of cases came from domesticated animal sources (meaning dogs, cats, and others). I would be much more concerned about contracting rabies if I was bitten by a wild animal as opposed to a dog.

Just because something can be legally kept as a pet, doesn't mean it's a good idea.

And there's another reason to hate skunks...they eat pheasant eggs, earthworms, frogs, lizards, and honeybees. All creatures much more useful and valuable than an ambulatory stink factory.

It's the weekend. It'll be here till Monday.

That said, I probably won't be able to watch Season 3. AMC's channels were dropped from DISH network and it isn't looking too likely that they'll be back (IMO).
