You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
However, from the shooting script for Bargaining - Part 1:
TARA: And a monster. Kind of a Sunnydale souvenir, we thought. Grrrr. Argggh.

Eh. The hell with the script. ;)
I'll take care of the thread creation, by the way. It's been a while since I've done one.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I just edited, but the problem wasn't showing up in my browser in the first place, so I'm not sure it worked. Do you mind confirming?
Looks Fixed.

Tagline on COMM:
Quotes and tags that deserve immortalisation.
Shouldn't the word be immortalization?
From the online medical dictionary: IMMORTALISATION -
The ability of a genetically engineered cell line to reproduce indefinitely
The cells escape from the normal limitation on growth of a finite number of division cycles (the Hayflick limit), by variants in animal cell cultures and cells in some tumours.
Immortalisation in culture may be spontaneous, as happens particularly readily in mouse cells or induced by mutagens or by transfection of certain oncogenes.
And from Dictionary.com:
Immortalize - To make immortal.
Immortalization - The act of immortalizing, or state of being immortalized.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Shouldn't the word be immortalization?
No. We deliberately used the un-American spelling.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty
I was about to say "both are probably right, 's' is British and 'z' is American", because it sometimes is that way, but the Concise Oxford agrees with Wolfram. Immortalize.
Although certain COMMs seem to have the ability to be reworked indefinately and remain funny, so it may be appropriate all the same.
Edit: and my initial reaction seems to have been the prevelent one.
