ION, how do good spellers remember how to spell 'disappointing'?
We just...do? You remember the pp because of the appoint root, and you remember the dis because diss isn't a prefix.
Mal: You are very much lacking in imagination. Zoe: I imagine that's so, sir.

I think Billmon has the perfect mixture of cynicism and "wait until the facts are in" attitude on the UK terror plot thing

Both Farscape and Angel say that the cavemen win.
But on Angel the caveman was a metaphor for Illyria, which would apparently win just about any fight that it saw coming.
If astronauts are like the pilots I've known, they would have a bottle of flammably-high proof alcohol handy and thus be able to win the fight by blinding the caveman and then setting him alight.

Holy crap! We can actually take pictures of individual atoms now? That's effin' cool.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This blog entry is cool just for the title alone:

What is even happening?
But on Angel the caveman was a metaphor for Illyria, which would apparently win just about any fight that it saw coming.
I think the metaphor on Angel was mixed, or layered--intentionally, or not. In some sense, Wolfram and Hart proper took the astronaut role, and the MoG took on the cavemene role. In other senses, the Senior(est) Partners could be seen as cavemen, with modern man as astronauts. And although I agree on one level, with Matt's characterization of Illyria, above, in another sense Illyria was an astronaut, who lost all her gadgets (her powers waned, the longer she was in Fred's body) and she then had to live with/take on the cavemen.
From the wiki article flea linked:
The following is a list of physical traits that distinguish Neanderthals from modern humans; however, not all of them can be used to distinguish specific Neanderthal populations, from various geographic areas or periods of evolution, from other extinct humans. Also, many of these traits occasionally manifest in modern humans, particularly among certain ethnic groups. Nothing is known about the skin color, the hair, or the shape of soft parts such as eyes, ears, and lips of Neanderthals.See the bold statement, above. If this is the case, how can we know for certain that they're a different species, rather than just one family of humans? I didn't quite follow the article's mentions of mitochondrial DNA. Is that the discerning factor?

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
Okay. It is a wiki, though. I mean. It's wiki.
