Diamond-encrusted chocolate. $5 million!

Sounds like a really good way to chip a tooth.

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...

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...

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".

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.

I can't remember now if I was watching CNN or a regular network. I remember it caught me by surprise; you'd think if it was a replay, they'd have announced it as "Something just went badly wrong".
