separate but equal
You're thinking of checks and balances. Separate but equal was a racist thing.
I've always thought that guy in the bar looks a lot like a proto-Ferengi.
Why does it afterburn when I pee?
I was going to relate a story about how when I was 15 I went on a long-distance biking trip, and at one point we rode on a highway that went up and through a mountain pass. On the way down I decided to see how fast I could go, and I got the speedometer on the bike up to 60. But now that I think about it, the trip was in Canada so that was probably KPH, not MPH. Still impressive (assuming the speedo was anywhere close to accurate) but not quite as impressive as I remembered it.
Always has been.
God damn it...
Small correction, it's Frederik ~~Polh~~ Pohl, not Phil.
In case you're unaware, there's a sequel called The Anvil of Stars. It has a somewhat different feel than the first, but also a really good book.
This is nowhere near the first incidence of the phrase. This movie's title was most likely a reference to the Cole Porter song "Let's Do It, Let's Fall in Love" which was written in 1928, and even that is not the origin of the phrase.
There was an incident of a teenage boy dying after doing the "One Chip Challenge", though it seems he may have had preexisting health issues which contributed.
Plot twist: It's actually a white rug.
Let's hope so. I've been enjoying the comic but the Avian Intelligence stuff is getting a little stale.
