Science teaches me that when you have a great big hunk of metal, it will be more dense than air and therefore will stay on the ground. MORE SCIENCE teaches me that when you shape that hunk of metal a certain way and fuel it the right way, you can turn it into an airplane and it will lift off the ground. Listen to more science, Roy, and you will see the relationship of global warming to hurricanes.

You can't be arbitrary about this. If "science" teaches you that things happen when waters warm up, then you should learn something from the scientists who study hurricanes when they say no, this storm was not caused or intensified by global warming. We've had Cat 5's before, and we'll have them again, global warming or no.

Brother Speed, welcome to THE. Now brace yourself, because this is really going to hurt...

That's a great way to dismiss every scrap of knowledge that comes your way.

I deeply apologize: I have been so busy. Marvin is packing tonight and will head to Mr. Hammeroni's place in the morning. Scout's honor.

Roy, The guy's life is studying how hurricanes work, why they're as intense as they are, etc. Maybe he doesn't know enough about the subject? Yeah. The alarmists are coming out of the woodwork, blaming this on global warming. The people who study hurricanes told us a year ago that this was part of a regular cycle and we should be ready for it. Instead, we listen to the alarmists who suddenly find hurricanes an interesting topic because it fits their pet theories on how we're destroying ourselves. I'm not denying global warming, but to think that it's responsible for a Category 5 hurricane ignores the fact that we've had Cat 5's before, and we'll have them again even if we stop spraying our underarms, running our air conditioners and filling up our gas tanks for the rest of our lives.

Both have easy links. After all, Body Heat had Kathleen Turner. But the Big Chill it is...

Dude, no one else was in Altered States. I checked, and anyone who could have guessed the two real celebs who were in it would have been cheating too. Which movie did you want to link from, The Big Chill or Body Heat?

Psalmie, I have an idea. Why don't you call some government agencies to find your friend?

This one is just kind of sneaking up on us: who knew that the L storm is already out there?

They're talking about a death toll in the thousands. The only reason we're not seeing a toll as high as south Asia is that the tsunami victims did not see it coming. Tsunami is entirely appropriate. And I suspect this event is going to make Sept. 11 look like a shootout at a local slum.

Not for several days.

Oh Tommy Boy, the pics, the pics are callin...

Let's hear it for sycophantic idolatry!

Every time they ask Max Mayfield at the National Hurricane Center whether global warming contributed to this, he gets a really annoyed look on his face. It's probably because he really wants to say, No already. Get a science textbook and stop asking me!

Yup, I'm wrong. And I don't recognize the right answer. There's a similar "Discovery Channel" line in The Real Slim Shady, though.

Ooh, methinks I'm wrong.

Well, it's definitely Eminem. I'm thinking it's "The Real Slim Shady."

Hey, thanks to the person who posted the Actual Errors stuff. Just a reminder that the list is in no way intended to be an exhaustive list of areas where I feel TWI was wrong: rather, that is a list of things that are indisputably wrong. The key word is indisputably. There's plenty of stuff I disagree with, but did not include on the list (Goey mentioned several).

ding ding ding!!!

And it's correct. I'd have accepted "The Bishop's Wife," but I would have looked at you funny.

I think it's shameful that anyone would use gscafe to shamelessly plug their pet projects.

Any word?
