You have a name that I want to touch!
My wife and I switched out all of the lights we use regularly with the Phillips LED and we have already noticed a drop in our electrical bills.
As mentioned by Anthony Polakos earlier, Cortexaphan from Fringe gave Olivia dimensional hopping abilities. (though you did mention Walter in the preamble to this article, so this point may me moot.)
In Marcus Pelegrimas's "Skinners" series of books, the aforementioned Skinners use a healing serum derived from Nymar(vampires) to heal rapidly.
Bane (from Batman) uses a drug called "Venom" to give himself super strength among other abilities.
In the game Bio Shock, you take a drug called Adam to gain super powers which range from resilience to blowing stuff up.
OHHHH...The serum Dr. Jeckyl takes to become Mr. Hyde.
Or the serum the invisible man takes to become...well...invisible.
That's all I got for the moment.
It's possible the Statue of liberty "Over There" is made of bronze instead of copper. It'll tarnish and patina a deeper, orange brown but it won't go as green as copper. Plus bronze is just copper with tin added to it (more or less).
I don't think as large a section of america sees scientists as elitist. I think this is being used as a straw man to show that those on the right are stupid and out of touch. They all had the same exposure to chemistry and biology as everyone else, and if you ignore some extremely specific areas of these disciplines (evolution and global warming) then there isn't much debate as to the basic mechanics. I'm not saying it's right, but you can ask what happens when baking soda and vinegar are mixed and there won't be a debate as to why you're wrong.
Now the social scientists, on the other hand, are elitist. Everyone in flyover country - and those who tend to be in the same voting blocs - see these people as being next to useless.
I think the perfect example is Randy Waterhouse's girlfriend in the beginning of Cryptonomicon. He grew a beard. She did a whole thing about how his beard was racist, homophobic, and sexist. Neal Stephenson's portrayal of her and her friends is exactly the caricature most people think about when "(blank)-elitist" comes up. They are all theory and no tangibility.
A physicist, biologist, chemist, mathematician on the other hand can have verifiable results.
My wife saw the story pic and said, "Ooh! Jezebel is finally doing a story on guns!" Then she was sad when it was about lipstick. Then she was sadder when her favorite shade was on the list.
Yep. That's why I do things the american way; use a bar of soap once then throw it out.
You can sort of melt the soap back down, but it doesn't quite work like it does with a candle. What you can do is put the soap pieces into a small bowl with some water. Microwave it until it gets soft then squeeze the pieces together until it coalesces.
I'm in the middle of Larry Correia's Grimnoir Book 1 (Hard Magic) and I'm liking it quite a bit, even though it thoroughly breaks rule 10. The book takes place in the 1930s, but the real change happened back in the 1800's when Magic made appeared.
Medievil (Again 1 or 2), again for the Playstation, and again, these games rocked.
Bushido Blade (1 or 2) for the Playstation. That game was effing sweet.
I thought that coach Shannon Beiste (Actress Dot Jones) from Glee should play Brienne of Tarth if she were younger.
She's the right size and shape and a fantastic actress...she's just about twenty to thirty years too old to play a young woman like Brienne.
No, but they were in a movie called Sensation which I watched on Skinemax back when I was a teen...great movie...you got to see BEWBS!!!
Oddly enough, I despise Eric Roberts. Kari Wuhrer changed my mind.
No 8 legged freaks? This is a travesty that will not stand!
Super villains are cool and all, but what about an ancient evil?
Odd. I thought they meant this dotcom.
Yep. I screwed up royally. I was going to edit it, but by the time I realized I wrote a spoiler it was too late.
I agree completely. This was a bit...er...unthinking of me.
I realized that about thirty minutes after I wrote the thing...but then it was too late to edit it. Sorry.
