PM Mr. Blue
Regarding
finding Beagle-2: why didn't the Mars Rover just jingle some keys?
“After
locating the long lost lander they gave it some treats.”
Come
on folks!!
12:12
PM Mr. Blue
“They
found it gnawing on some petrified martian furniture!!”
I'll
be at the Laugh Factory on Tuesday!

"NASA
heard scratching at a back panel of the Mars Rover and realized that
Beagle-2 was still out there."
"Poor
thing looked so dejected when we let it in."
12:13
PM Mr. Blue
The
entire northern hemisphere is covered in Beagle-2 droppings.

PM Mr. Silver
Rather
enjoying this...I like the book/film title:

Mr.
Silver, what did I just read?
LOL
1:08
PM Mr. Silver
Dunno...Only
managed to get through 1/2 of it myself so far.
“When
you grow up in a culture that allows wizards to speak to witches that
way, how are you supposed to know that it’s wrong? But do it again
and I’ll cut you.”

PM Mr. Brown
Yeah!
lol
Hermione
is the actually the hero in the entire story.

You're
part of the problem, Muggle.

Burn
that bitch down!

What's
that smell? Oh sorry, its patronis.

"And

SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILVER!!!!

AM Mr. Silver
Oui?
I
swear Phys.org puts these up occasionally like an Onion segment.
Mr.
Brown
Have
some old school hurt-your-child experiments!
7:03
AM Mr. Silver
That's
not exactly "boiling water" and I've done that experiment.
7:03
AM Mr. Brown
Stripping
a battery.
Even
with supervision in school, I managed to burn myself with wires off a
battery.
LOL
7:04
AM Mr. Silver
Yup,
been there. The miniscule 1st or 2nd degree burn from a botch is as safe and educational as the original experiment...bonus points!

"It's
clearly quite dangerous to shine a torch into your eye."
Apparently
he forgets how dim an old flashlight was.
7:06
AM Mr. Brown
Right.
Today
its a bad idea because its like the sun shining in your eyes.
7:06
AM Mr. Silver
The
whittling one is complete BS
“Cutting
towards the face of someone else!”
Really?
Where? I see no kid kneeling on the ground.

It's

Hehe

Really?
You can read the ingredients on that smudge?
7:08
AM Mr. Brown
I
like the description of the magnifying glass one.
“Here
is a boy leaning over a fire with a magnifying glass!”
Ok,
so clearly the person that wrote that isn't smart enough to realize
the kid is making the fire with it.
7:17
AM Mr. Silver
The
man's a dip. I'd let Silver Jr. try all of this...unsupervised for
most of them.
7:20
AM Mr. Brown
I
already showed Brown Jr. how to make fire with magnifying glass and
he's 7.

Thank

Yup.
Mr. Green
Come
on now... There wouldn't be Star Wars without George.
8:07
AM Mr. Silver
I'm
not saying he didn't spark the whole thing, and I'm glad he did.
It's
just that left to his own devices, he produced 3 weak prequels.
And
as time has gone on, it's pretty clear he's gotten a lot of undue
credit for collaborative work.
8:12
AM Mr. Silver
Oh...sour
grapes tale...
Couple
days back I catch a post about a fan recut of the Hobbit movies
Cut
all 3 down to 4.5 hours and took out a ton of garbage.
There
was a link to get it if you followed the directions.
Naturally,
such things only stay up an hour or so at best before being caught
and killed.
So
I started scrambling
Mrs. Silver,
meanwhile, decided to start nagging relentlessly that we had to
Gooooo!!! Noooow!!! Gotta Go NOW to the Post Office! Gotta go NOW
to the BANK! Running out of TIME! What are you DOOOOOING!"
So
much so I couldn't follow the directions and gave up in frustration.
We
get in the car...start heading out. PO is on the way to the
chiropractor, which is one of the quests.
"Have
you got the stuff for the post office?"
"Hmm?"
"The
post office? You know: Had to go before it closed? NOW?"
"Oh,
I forgot it's MLK Day. The PO and bank are closed."
"(You...bitch...)
Ah."
Of
course, all the Hobbit links were dead by the time we got back.
8:32
AM Mr. Silver
That's
the second time she's done that on a re-cut I wanted to see...the
first, coincidentally to the conversation, was of Lucas's Episodes 1
through 3.
9:08
AM Mr. Yellow
Yes,
he gave us three great movies. Then he gave us midiclorians and Jar
Jar Binks.

"Master
Qui Gon? You were telling Obi Wan that my (dubbed in voice) Force
was powerful. What (dubbed in voice) is the Force?"
"Yes, I performed tests and (dubbed in voice) the Force is strong in you, almost as strong as Master Yoda."
Friggin'
midichlorians...what the hell was he thinking?
9:17
AM Mr. Yellow
They
make no sense.

The
only use of the word "midi-chlorian" itself (there's
none of "midichlorian") in this book is (page 353, right
at the end) an excerpt from a recording Lucas made, in July/August
1977, to elaborate on backstories for the (sequel) novelisation,
comic books, and merchandising:
It
is said certain creatures are born with a higher awareness of the
Force than humans. Their brains are different; they have more
midi-chlorians in their cells.
This
is the quote that's fairly universally used as proof that
midi-chlorians were an idea way back in 1977. The book is
apparently constructed from various LucasFilm archive material,
rather than new interviews, so it seems reasonable to assume that
the author had access to the actual recordings from 1977. |

I
suppose he just mangled the heck out of "mitochondria".
