I think the Royals can be considered a greater tradegy.
Dennis Hastert thinks the Royals should be bulldozed and not rebuilt.
Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Or saying to Jilli, "You should wear hot pink."
Jilli actually wears a fair amount of pink. It's the new Goth.

This is true. Pink trim, pink & black stripy socks, pink shoes. All of these things appear in my wardrobe.

I meant this one particular Pantone shade... oh, never mind.
The TiVo took me away from the desperation on CNN to the glorious inanity of PTI. Praise be, blessed TiVo.

It is a worthy god. Bringing to mind a Futurama line I heard last night, "Why couldn't he pick a mainstream religion like Oprah-ism or Voodoo?"

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think that's my favorite Futurama line ever.
Unless I'm forgetting one....

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
but two out of four of those theories were strictly scientific theories, even if they are now considered archaic.
Well, not "strictly". I'll venture that alchemy was never a science, as we define science. As for physics, even in the late 1800s, during the last gasp of phlogiston (soon to be atoms), everybody admitted it was a "I don't know, and can't think of anything, and that is a nice name to put on my non-knowledge" type of deal. Before that, phlogiston was totally conjecture, the way that Leonardo da Vinci conjectured that the eyes weer anatomically linked to the soul.
Conjecture has its role in science, but conjecture and theory aren't the same thing, despite their similar uses in the vernacular.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I'm fucking boggled that there are still people on roofs in St. Bernard Parish. That they didn't have National Guard and the military on the streets within two days.
The streets were underwater, and in fairness, no one could know the scope of the disaster it has become; no one knew how many people stayed. The desperation and the widespread anarchy seems to have arisen within the last 24 hours.

Because people of faith don't appreciate having any part of their religion called a "myth."
It's like calling a middle-aged African-American man "boy."
Whoa, okay, I'ma bite my tongue on this one.

People of faith need to tell us what to call it then, because "origin myth" pretty well indicates what we are talking about, and is consistently applied to belief systems both living and dead. I mean, we call it a myth because it can't be proved, right? Can you think of a better term that you wouldn't consider insulting?
