Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

I'd say that "stuff" is singular. "The stuff collects in the corner," not "The stuff collect in the corner."

In other news? That "Because daddy never hugged me/Because the more they love me the more I love myself" VW Passat commercial is creepifying and really upsetting.
I think instead of throwing away her megaphone the passenger should have shouted "Because the Passat proves we're better than the rest of you!"
Webvan might still be in business if they had the "sex" option.
Probably depends on what Webvan's drivers looked like...

Ginger - I like your much better way of saying my lame "we count differently".
Hil, I'm glad you're better. Oh, and good luck on your exam! The semester being over tomorrow, at least as far as TAing goes, means you'll have more free time in the coming month to study, right?

Yep. And quoted saying things like:
He places his left hand on his chest. "I feel a lack of desire here and in my stomach," he says, and he is not smiling. "I have all this love to share and it's not what it used to be."

On Buffy it really seemed like that cotton in the ears thing you can get from shock . . . but that whole episode of buffy was so good.

mmmm, I think Hil is right, stuff is treated like a singular noun.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Stuff" is a mass noun, like water. Gramatically it's treated as singular even though it refers to a bunch of...stuff.
