Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Pocket Hercules -- aka Naim Suleymanoglu -- is from Turkey. Although, as countries go, Bulgaria is a pretty good guess.
I think (and I could be wrong) that he is ethnically Turkish, was a resident of Bulgaria, competed for Bulgaria, defected/immigrated, competed for Turkey.

Anyone have a theory about whether "debris" is singular or plural?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's both.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
"debris" is like "rice" and "milk". It's considered an uncountable so it is the same word in plural and singular. /pulled out of ass

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Coming from the WI border, I need to be in the north side by 8am tomorrow morning, which mapquest tells me will take just over an hour. Taking into account rush hour traffic, does leaving at 6am sound reasonible, or am I over-compensating for the traffic?
Traffic isn't really bad until after 8. You'll probably be safe allowing 1 1/2 hours instead of 2.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Isn't it a mass noun?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Anyone have a theory about whether "debris" is singular or plural?
I think singular because it refers to a grouping. The grouping is singular.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm having mac and cheese (and salsa) right now.
Pretty great.

I'm having a pork chop, sweet potato and okra. Also tasty.
