Since people have requested it, and I seem to have given the impression that I wanted to write it, and I'll almost definitely be referencing it in Legend of Galactic Girls... here's the beginning of the end of the first phase of Operation GREAT JUSTICE.

Anyone who want to take part is welcome - this is one of the Big Events of OGJ, after all - but please don't kill off Leda or Yuri.

Not to get anyone's hopes up or anything (yeah, right), but the Register is reporting that the Sun is reporting that Sir Ben Kingsley might be playing Davros in the next season of Doctor Who.
Now, the Reg has been wrong about Doctor Who in the past, and the Sun doesn't have a reputation for getting this kind of story right, either... but what if it's true? Sir Ben Kinglsey. On Doctor Who. Playing one of the classic "big bads". Wow.

Bob, here are a few worlds that Doug might show up in or on.. I'm not sure if Warrior's World had them though.
Tron?
Reboot?
Dark Crystal?
Bridge to Terberthia?
Enchanted Forest by Patrica Wrede? Probably the last book though.
Sky High?
Last Starfighter?
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe? 2002 version probably. That Adam needs advice, and maybe help recover Adora.

The fourth root of (9^2+(19^2/22)) is Pi. Or close enough that my calculator only detects a difference in the 9th decimal place.
That's wild.

I don't know what it is, but the "Texas State Pledge" topic in Politics and the "Fic Fragments" in Other People's Fanfiction are just appearing as blank pages for me...
-Morgan."Mikuru-chan molested me! I'm... so happy!"
-Haruhi, "The Ecchi of Haruhi Suzumiya"
---(Not really)

now has four more words: "one state under God". Note that this pledge as been part of a morning ritual required for Texas students since 2003.
Further, the individual behind this change, Rep. Debbie Riddle (R-Tomball), made her opinions on public education known back in March, 2003:
"Where did this idea come from that everybody deserves free education, free medical care, free whatever? It comes from Moscow, from Russia. It comes straight out of the pit of hell. And it's cleverly disguised as having a tender heart. It's not a tender heart. It's ripping the heart out of this country."

O.K. Here's the discussion turned into a newsgroup discussion. I've also included a bit of background that I thought up as a starting point. We can discuss, and maybe go for ClassicDrogn's story discussion if this doesn't pan out.

Anyone watch this?
I was introduced to this by my friend today and I think I spent the majority of the time either in cringing laughter or disturbed.
Punie is very, very scary. O_O I'd run away from any school with her in it. She's pretty ruthless. I did catch a couple parodies though: Dynasty Warriors, Aliens, maybe Apocalypse Now, potentially Slayers, and Initial D.
