You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

From fractal pie:

The thing they don't tell you about fractals is just how sharp and dangerous they are. I mean, you think you have a pretty good grasp of the mathematical analysis but until a piece of metal with a very high perimeter to surface area ratio tears into your flesh, you're really missing intuitive appreciation for objects that lack continuous derivatives almost everywhere.

(Caveat - I corrected a misspelled word and capitalized some things because they drove me crazy. Otherwise, a direct quote.)

Now I want pecan pie. But not sweet pecan pie. I want the unattainable perfect-for-me pecan pie.

I keep getting outraged that clues I think are perfect are not there. Like time on the on the clock page.

That is annoying msbelle. Some of the other connections are so far over my head - I feel kinda stupid. Still. Fun.

Need any other hints?

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I heard somewhere (I think on Countdown) that Katie Holmes became friends with Brooke Shields either at the hospital or soon after in post-birth bonding, so Tom probably had to suck it up and apologize.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
