What would be the magisterium of science? On what subject does science have authority? Logic, right? And fair observations. Double checking. Peer review. How not to be fooled by your hopes and prejudices. Stuff like that. Anything that helps us approach knowledge and avoid delusion...

I loved, loved, loved the book as a kid. Was startled to discover that I didn't like it at all as an adult. The old movie was terrible. The new movie is okay. I don't know that I'll want to re-watch it, but I'm happy to be watching it a first time.

Yep. For me, talking and tocking are homophones.

> for me “walks” rhymes more with “caulks” Thanks. This helps. I didn't see the difference at first. But my wife, who is from Denver, and who thinks everything on the card rhymes, pointed out to me that the L in caulks can be pronounced. I pronounce it myself, at least sometimes. Maybe...

I didn't like the movie, but the opening sequence had me in hysterics.

The Nearly Invisible Man

Well, there is at least one rule, and this is a violation.

I'm right there with you. Posting pictures was a struggle, but then copying pictures I wanted to post became impossible. So I eventually gave up.

Awesome!

I thought he was being a jerk, and I let him know it. He defended himself surprisingly well. He came off well, made me feel like maybe I was the jerk. You don't have to agree, but I think it's fair to make a retraction just as public as the accusation. That seems right to me.
