  1. According to RC doctrine, purgatory is a temporary place, and anyone in purgatory will EVENTUALLY make it into heaven once they're purified. One may shorten the time for someone in purgatory through prayers and indulgences and so on. If not, eventually the person will get to heaven. The selling of indulgences, while financially lucrative, was one of the things that triggered the Protestant Reformation. It meant that Jesus was wrong and it was EASY for a rich man to enter heaven. I've forgotten the name, but one can join a society that will pray for you when you're dead, to shorten your time in purgatory. Number of occurrences of the word "purgatory" in the Bible- zero.
  2. Ok, here's a science question. As far as is known to science at present, what is the largest animal to have EVER lived?
  3. This TV show had a few things that I'll always remember. 1) Masked wrestlers like "Red Devil" and "Señor Bag-of-Cr@p." 2) The above wrestlers once kidnapped Lou Diamond Phillips (and also tried to get his autograph.) 3) A regular feature of this show (which dates this) was a set of video clips for prospective dates you might dial in to meet. "LOWERED EXPECTATIONS." (Once you've seen a few of their ads, you'll understand how apt was the title.) 4) Strictly speaking, the TV show had a "mascot"-which really wasn't the show's idea or fault. (Why?) 5) Occasionally, this show had several seconds of animation between scenes. 6) This show was a comedy. This other TV was short-lived but I liked it more. It most regular feature was probably "the Chicano Militant Minute." This interrupted your re-gu-lar-ly schedule program to hear from some cholos whenever they felt like it. Their best moments were probably their "Latino Outings." They contacted a celebrity, announced he/she was Latino/a, and gave them new names. "Vanna White? Your new and better name is 'Vanna Blanca.' '" They contacted Charlie Sheen, and offered to out him and his father out of the Latino Closet but to throw his brother Emilio back IN! They contacted Edward James Olmos to 'out' him as Latino. "Of course I'm Latino. Everyone knows that!" "...........Right, and don't you forget it! Your new, better name is now 'Eduardo James Olmos.' " In the case of this show, I will also accept the name of the show's HOST, since it was unmistakably HIS show by any name. Name either to take the round.
  4. I don't think we've got this one yet.
  5. Jim Steinman wrote it, but it wasn't a Meatloaf song- which is why it sounds like a Meatloaf song anyway. Celine Dion, singing "IT'S ALL COMING BACK TO ME NOW." There's a bit of irony in how long it took to come back to me now.
  6. Steve Martin Parenthood Keanu Reeves
  7. A few hours before you posted this, I was in a discussion of the Batman movies, and that scene was a major part of the discussion. This was the "first" "BATMAN" movie, with Adam West as Batman and the TV show cast (mostly) as the same characters.
  8. "My name is a killing word." "The spice must flow."

  10. That's him. Odd how he was a decent cast for Happy Hogan and Foggy Nelson, when the characters generally look nothing alike. (OK, Favreau could pass for Hogan, but Nelson had light hair and was pudgy.)
  11. PCU SpiderMan- Homecoming Very Bad Things Iron Man DareDevil
  12. With outranking, I was thinking of a king, but my gut said Duke Ellington wrote more songs.
  13. "One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small"
  14. Ok, it was the second stanza, but still the same song.
  15. "Well, half a hole. I gave the rest to Jeremy." "What would he do with half a hole?" "Fix it to keep his mind from wandering!" "YELLOW SUBMARINE."
  16. Franchise....Summer Glau.....NOT Firefly/Serenity......... "TERMINATOR-THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES."
  17. "Springtime for Hitler and Germany. Winter for Poland and France."
  18. Everything they just said was correct. Including Human letting you take his turn- which was a nice thing meant to encourage new players. ----------------------------------------------------- This is the opening line from Peter Gabriel's "SLEDGE HAMMER." (Once you've seen the video with the dancing chickens, you can't un-see them.)
  19. "Nightmare on Elm Street, Freddy's Nightmares"?
  20. He was neither in PCU nor "Very Bad Things."
  21. PCU SpiderMan- Homecoming Very Bad Things Iron Man
  22. My fever dropped! I have a vague memory I dreamed about Muppet Highlander again..... Oh, this round, right. The movie is "Highlander", with Christopher Lambert as Connor Mac Leod. (I also have a vague memory of Matt Le Blanc in a "Lost in Space" movie. Must have been that fever talking...)
