Just a thought.
On another note: how is it that the most powerful villains in the world are still thwarted by elevators? I suspect that "Elevator Man" is truly the most powerful of heroes.
Another thing I wonder about... how do some of these invention recipes work? Like, you take a piece of armor with runes etched on it, and you dip it in a simple chemical, and... a revolver appears? You combine fire that cannot be put out with ice that cannot be melted, a hydraulic piston, and a theory about chaos and... viola, you have a jetpack? How? A small key for winding clockwork, a lucky charm, and some kind of ancient artifact when combined in the right way make... insect wings? Because unless the ancient artifact actually happens to be "ancient insect wings that I'm hoping I can wind up with this key I found if I'm lucky enough" then I'm not sure how that works out.

Nah, i cut like a razor to the wrong conclusion. No muddling about. After i realize it's the wrong conclusion i apologize to the person whose conclusion it is and then awkwardly back out of it. It's actually a lot like muddling but with more conceptual property damage.|

For my 2 cents, I have 4 points (they're on sale, 2 for 1):
1) It's supposed to be funny.
2) He said "most women" not "ALL women".
3) Just because she hears that troublesome voice doesn't mean she listens to it. Don't you ever get weird impulses to do things that you don't ever actually do because they're too crazy/illegal/inappropriate/etc.?
4) A voice in your head that tries to get you in trouble seems more like something an adolescent male would have problems with.

4) is accurate, but the origin of the voice is rarely in one's head.
you know rather than whapping each other with our attendant politics, can we admit that we all do silly things and be done with it? it isn't just men, or just women, or adults , or children, or common "regular" people, or sanctimonious misanthropes or just any one subdivision. human interaction is a series of negotiations, you just have to work with the fact that others have different valuations and find a workable compromise.
Sounds like a good time for a tangents off the tangent.
I like cake.
And pie.
And Steelclaw's lists.
Hm, I've got two of the three aplenty. *looks at Steelclaw hopefully*
If someone is going to tell me that all women are crazy, I think I'm going to have to at least ask for what evidence they have for making such an assertion.
When we say "women", we of course mean "female humans".
Humans are crazy. If they're not autistic, they have delusions of telepathy. If they are, they have a developmental disorder.
