Because you've spent too much time around me?
well, maybe net time.
No, I am naturally non-trusting and suspicious of folk, but this person has nothing to gain by buttering me up. Well, nothing that I can see anyway.

Sounds like a really good way to chip a tooth.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
I have mentioned on occasion that I saw that live and people would tell me that wasn't possible. But it was on the tv in the school library and I was checking out books.
Some other class at my grade school was watching it -- I want to say first graders. I had no idea it wasn't a normal network broadcast; it was just the school TV rolled out into the foyer hall. (A teacher came rushing into my science class as we were shuffling out, and I remember the science teacher (who was a shmuck) uttering a mild curse of surprise.)

I didn't watch the Challenger disaster live myself, but the kids in one of the science classes at my school did. That particular science teacher had been a finalist in the teacher selection, and knew Christa MacAuliffe personally. It hit him pretty hard.
I didn't watch it live, but I do seem to remember that tape of the accident was all anybody watched for the next few days.

Turns out the video was of a man getting mauled by a lion. Great use of company resources, bucko.
Feh. People get mauled by lions all the time. Now, someone getting mauled by a llama, that would be a video worth passing around.

If it isn't out there already, it will be. Like doggy porn.

Which of course brings on the inevitability of llama porn...

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
You say this, but I think about, say, the Rhinoceros whose real-life counterpart has a 2 foot dick. Marvel should just steer clear in general.
On the other hand, keeping up with the parallel biologies would give the Vulture a chance for at least one tactic that would be effective against opponents...

If I only had a brain...
I was sick at home the day the Challenger died. I was watching the launch on general principle; by then they were routine, and I hadn't watched one in ages.
I still remember the slow sickening realization that something was wrong. It was like the moment after the second airplane hit the WTC, when I knew "Oh, shit, this was deliberate".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
With Christa McAuliffe set to be the first teacher in space, NASA had arranged a satellite broadcast of the full mission into television sets in many schools,
OK, so that's how I saw it. I have mentioned on occasion that I saw that live and people would tell me that wasn't possible. But it was on the tv in the school library and I was checking out books.
Wow, people told you that? They rolled a TV into homeroom for me, too.
