Seen (and participated in) on the SJGames Forums: 2000 Things I Am No Longer Allowed To Do At Hogwarts

Because, after all, Doug is going to at least think of doing some of these...

Quote:...
3. No creating Illusionary Golden Snitches during Quidditch matches.
...
7: Not allowed to affix a JATO unit to a broom.
...
16. I am no long allowed to turn the castle's staircases into water slides, no mater what the weather is like.
...
26. Bring a muggle to school day is not an authorized holiday.
...
31. Attempting to pass myself off as the new Muggle Interactions Instructor is now forbidden.
...
35. Transmuting sand into Stronium 90 is NOT a proper use of Magic.
...
42. No matter how much Hermione liked the idea, I will not again staff the Hogwarts uniform repair shop with house elves.
...

This is pretty cool, although the UI could use a bit of polish. You take a story ID from fanfiction.net and it looks at which other stories are favorited by people that favorited that story, and returns them as search results.
Not sure if it is useful yet but it sounds like it should work in theory.

E: "Did they... did they just endorse the combination of the JSDF and US Army by showing them as two lesbian lolicons moving in together and holding hands and talking about how 'intimate' they were?"
B: "Have you forgotten so soon? They're phasing out Don't Ask, Don't Tell."

My brother-in-law Dave, who was raised in New Jersey on New Jersey/New York-style pizza, now lives in Baltimore and despairs of ever eating good pizza except when visiting his mother in North Brunswick.
I told him I would inquire of the board and see if anyone knows if there is decent NJ/NY-style pizza anywhere to be found in the Baltimore area.
So... anyone have any idea?  Thanks.

The lyrics are out there, so I'll just post some vids

This is a http://www.gabrielarobin.com/mainsite/l ... edley.html which triggers much emotion in me, regardless of how many times I listen to it, with or without the matching video. 'cause it's also a mede..mix of songs which may/will give Doug a huge backlash.

And it's as chaotic to perform live as I thought.

The translated lyrics to me are implying the singer's trying to survive a dangerous situation and trying desperately to get home to their loved one.

So, the VASMIR prototype engine Ad Astra have been working on finally reached full operating power, and has reached it's system efficiency goals. Pump 20kW of electricity into it, to get 5N of thrust, and an exhaust gas velocity of about 50Km/sec.

A 40 day round trip to Mars is definitely feasible, what with Astronauts able to spend 6 months or so on the ISS quite happily. A month or so there, a month or two back (Depending on orbital position), a month scooting around on the planet doing cool stuff like digging out Spirit, picking up samples of Mars rocks, and leaving behind the first parts of a permanent Mars base.

Okay, so that's a gross simplification... but it's still tantalisingly close. As I recall, it took Columbus about 5 weeks to cross the Atlantic in 1492.

One of the queens of Hammer Horrors, Ingrid Pitt, whose busty, heaving bosoms gave real vampires (not sparkly emo wannabes) a reason to man up and chomp down has passed away.  On a way to a meeting with fan no less.
From The Vampire Lovers to the Wicker Man, Ingrid Pitt embodied an old world sensuality.  Lush.  Healthy. Larger than life.  She will be missed.
