Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Oh, god.
Forbidden Planet had jumpsuits before Trek did....
Great movie.
Edit: Awkward cross posting there.
The Haitian president, René Préval, told The Miami Herald that the toll was “unimaginable” and estimated that thousands had died.
Jesus. Apparently my cousin's fiance is OK, but I have no idea about the rest of his family.
call them what you will
Speed-suit!
Given that any attempt to predict future fashion will be ludicrous, I think jumpsuits are at least fairly simple for illustrators and costume designers.
Yeah, the Star Trek costume department used to hate it when they had to design civilian clothes.
The situation in Haiti is really going to be horrific. I hope that some folks with deep pockets step forward to take on some serious community building from the ground up, do a neighborhood thoroughly and stick with it for years. That country needs so much more than new structures slapped up.
From MSNBC:
Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive told Reuters that thousands of buildings had collapsed in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and said he believed the casualties would be "in the range of thousands of dead."
He added he could give no clear official estimate. Soon after, however, Bellerive told CNN he believed well over 100,000 people could have died. Other officials said it was too early to give a precise accounting of the toll.
