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

Bendy fire-stick!

I saw those! I. Was. In. Awe.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bendy fire-stick!

Hey! That's a good idea! We almost bought this insanely expensive lighter with this giant long bendable bit from a plumber's supply store, because our water heater is ridiculously difficult to light. But we didn't. Because we're lazy.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

It's a monster boiler for 40+ units with locks I don't have keys to.

That does sound like it has too much potential for BOOM.

Not a parent, but you can get the CDC data lots of places. I think here:

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm here now, Allyson. What was the question, precisely?

thanks Rick.

ita, I think the question was: "why are you a cheeky monkey?"

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I was arguing with Fury. He was pro-caveman, his reasoning that brute animal force/strength coming at an astronaut at full caveman speed is always gonna win, that there's no time for ingenuity/weapon building and such.

But I'm thinking most astronauts are ex-military, and therefore trained in hand-to-hand combat. Which leads me to this question: In a fight, does skill beat strength? I mean, I'm a 4'10 woman, if I'm, say, a black belt in Krav Maga, and I'm attacked by a 6'2 man in good shape who has no fight skills, what are my chances?
