Actually, I think it's perfectly valid. It's what you'd call fantastic realism. The rule regarding gravity (ie. there being no difference between weight and mass based on gravity) is obviously not real or even realistic, but it's consistently applied. Like I said, I never really got into Spelljammer, but slowly there are a few things coming back to me.

Seriously, you have to try a good horse steak before you knock it.

My favourite 'meat' remains sea devil, but horse is definitely better than your average beef. It might not stack up to Black Angus or Kobe, but it casually beats the snot out of corn-fed.

Also, insects can be ******* yummy if done right, too. I just don't like how the legs scratch and scrape against your throat on the way down, so you need to smother them in dip.

Crackhead.

Clearly you have no idea about driving. When I sit in a car, or on a motorbike, I become one with it. I can feel every turn of every cog in the system, every electrical impulse and, yes, the exact grain of the road beneath my ***. Of course that only really kicks in beyond 100 KPH, but hey, no speed limits over here.

Oh, and I really have no intention of being loved by food.

What then? The smell of horseshit?

Cats are for me. But I'd still eat one if it turned out they were tasty. MY cats are not the same as any old cat.

Dogs on the other hand are just germ motherships full of dirt and slobber, and horses really have no place in modern society other than to be eaten. I mean, why ride a horse when you could ride a BMW motorcycle?

How's that? Just because they have feelings doesn't mean I can't eat them, does it now?

Like tapeworms?

Why is it gross? It's an animal. Animals are there to be eaten by us. Unless they don't taste. But even that can be amended with enough salt or chili peppers.

You're just intolerant.

So, how often have you tried horse meat then? It's seriously delicious, especially from free-roaming horses since it's very lean and flavourful.

(Actually, if you ever buy Italian sausages without asking for the exact content, which one should never do with sausages to begin with, there's a good chance you might already have devoured horse meat.)

Horse meat is rocking. Like beef, but better. Shame it's so hard to get around here, but I tend to get my fix when I go to Italy.

It was something people figured out after they actually looked at the various maps given for the various continents. If you add all the distances given together, the planet comes out as gigantic.

Actually, the Spelljammer setting for D&D did cover the entire solar systems for several worlds, but I never much cared for it, so I can't give you details. I can however assure you that the D&D planets are not in the same universe as real-life earth, unless the laws of physics fluctuate from galaxy to galaxy. What with Toril being a solid planet the size of Jupiter that doesn't seem to generate the appropriate amount of gravity a hyperdense planet that size should.

Babylon 5 tended to use a pretty straightforward nomenclature. Star and sysdtem were most often called [name] and the corresponding planets [name] [roman numeral]. So Proxima III was the third planet from the sun in the Proxima system. Though settled planets, especially important ones, often had proper names such as Centauri Prime, Minbar or Z'ha'dum.

Fine, fine, I retract.

In fact, Twilight is actually slightly better than most WWE Slash.

The Dark Knight Joker was also the worst interpretation of the character I've ever seen. He might have been emotionally unstable, but he was hardly insane. The scriptwriter should have his cheeks cut into a permanent grin.

As for the animated Joker, there's definitely more to him, but it's only ever hinted at IIRC.

Yes. That would fall under the exception I outlined. The exception doesn't apply to Bats himself cause you know he can dodge bullets and stuff, but a normal police officer or soldier faced with an armed assailant, and without a Batman around to pull their *** out of the fire would likely have to shoot the other guy if they wanted to survive. Batman is not Gandhi or Jesus after all; peaceful resistance is not on his agenda, nor is turning the other cheek.

I always listen to the same kind of stuff anyhow.

See, this is where I proudly stand up and declare that Buffy is just as big of a pile of **** as Twilight. I'll grant it that it was slightly better written, but then most WWE Slashfic is better written than Twilight.

GOOOOODBYE HOOOOORSES

His public persona is like a 12 year old with ADD on a constant sugar high. I don't know about you, but people as animated as that make me want to punch them, then yell at them to calm the **** down.

Er.

I am German, for one. So I've forgotten more about beers than you've ever known by dint of my genes alone.

Secondly, Warsteiner IS the most watered down and sweetest Pilsener beer of quality you'll find in Germany. It's as close to soda as German beer gets. The only beers with less taste you can get over here are imports such as English or Dutch Lagers, or cheap discounter beers.

For being so sweet and tasteless, it IS very popular with women who can't usually handle the more bitter tastes of stuff like Jever or Bitburger, though most beers fall into the vanilla category in the middle. That'd include Beck's, Hasseröder or and Krombacher, as well as my personal favourites, Licher beer from my home state of Hesse, and the local Wernesgrüner. See if you can get either of Licher, Wernesgrüner or Bitburger over there, then come talk to me again.

That's not how the law works, though. And most likely, after many US States have moved to abolish the death penalty, going back to executing the insane in those States that do keep the death penalty but exempt the legally insane would probably cause just as much sympathy for the Joker than it would create sympathy for the politician trying to get the law changed.

And I guess you could technically somehow get a special clause that only pertains to the Joker, but I also guess most people could see that for the slippery slope it would be. So you kill the Joker because he's a mass murderer who's managed to escape from the loony bin. Who else fits that bill? Who else is so dangerous you might want to make an exception for them? How many victims does it take to deserve death, how many successful escapes?

I'd like to think people are smarter than that. Of course, they're not.


As to the Joker actually being legally insane, my yardstick is John Hinckley, who tried to kill Ronald Reagan to impress Jodie Foster. While Hinckley is not exactly a supervillain, their obsession and willingness to go to any length to impress the object of their affection seems to match.

You gotta be ******** me. Warsteiner is girl beer.
