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

Can I get some help? Does this sentence make sense?

The absorption of some earlier cults into the newer pantheon versus those that resisted being absorbed is suggested as providing the later myths that seem confusing however.

My attention span doesn't let me get all the way to the end of it with focus.

Watching the "Space Seed" episode of Trek. I see that they talk about screens displaying changing information, although in the 20 or 30 eps I've watched so far it's only been shown once. However the implication of screens with function anything like ours is not applied consistently throughout the show. Just like Khan's self-bronzer isn't applied consistently over his body. What shockingly pale legs!

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

I haven't had enough caffeine to make sense of that.

I suggest that you start chopping words off the end until it makes sense.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

That sentence is all kinds of wrong, ita. Also I NEED that dachshund. So cute!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Does this sentence make sense?

No.

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

It seem confusing, however.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I haven't had enough caffeine to make sense of that.

I suspect alcohol might be more useful than caffeine in that regard.

That is my preferred approach. I hate that feeling where a perfectly reasonable sentence veers off beyond control.

The ducks are out in force today. Must remember to avoid the Public Garden or I'll be re-enacting scenes from Hitchock I fear.

Remember that little spat between the Rolling Stones and the Hells Angels? Something about the Stones being dissatisfied with the quality of the security provided by the Hells Angels at a Stones concert?

Hell's Angels Plotted To Kill Mick Jagger

LONDON — Rolling Stones singer Mick Jagger escaped an assassination plot hatched in 1969 by the Hells Angels, a new British Broadcasting Corp. documentary has claimed.

A program to be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Monday says the rock star was the target of the plot following a purported dispute with the motorcycle gang over concert security.

Jagger had vowed not to use Hells Angel members as bouncers following the death in December 1969 of an 18-year-old fan at a notorious free performance at Altamont Speedway in Northern California.

In return, gang members hatched a plan to kill Jagger at his holiday home in Long Island, New York, the BBC claimed.

"The Hells Angels were so angered by Jagger's treatment of them that they decided to kill him," Tom Mangold, the presenter of the program, was quoted as telling Britain's Sunday Telegraph newspaper.

He said the plan was disclosed during an interview with Mark Young, a former FBI officer, for the BBC's "The FBI at 100" documentary.

Mangold said the men tried to reach Jagger by sea. "The boat was hit by a storm and all of the men were thrown overboard," he was quoted as saying. They all survived but made no other attempt on his life, Mangold said.

Something about the whole affair ending with a capsized boat of Hells Angels is amusing. "Dudes. You're out of your element. (Please don't kill me.)"
