Can't go Crusading without her trusty Ribbon!

"No pity! No remorse! No fear!"

"No pity! No remorse! No fear!"

"Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared! Be prepared!"

...I'm not really seeing how a word consisting of the components "fire" and "moving" is anything less than ideal for describing the ability to manipulate fire with your mind.

Yeah...

Combining 'fire' and 'moving' makes more sense than 'fire' and 'distant'.

It seems there's going to be an Expendables 3, and there's talks they're going to bring JCVD back. As Claude Vilain, identical twin brother of Expendables 2 main villain Jean Vilain. I'm personally hoping for a fourth and fifth film, so they can make them identical quadruplets.

And their names will obviously be Van Vilain and Damme Vilain.

Topic Shift for those smarter than I - About how fast do you have to move for Blueshifting to start happening to light? Wiki says near-relativistic but other than 'in the area of light-speed' I'm afraid I'm unclear about that, and I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill here.

Bonus - Would time-manipulation do that on its own?

With Cockatrices running around?? Of course not! She needs the Petrification Protection!

One suspects 'near relativistic' would be defined as 'really close to teh speed of light' - not 50%, but likely 90+%. There's an actual formula out there for Blueshifting somewhere - google it, it might help.

I suppose if one slowed down time to the point where the light was very....very...slowly....entering one's eyes, then there might be some blueshifting depending on an object's distance.

Wow, I never knew that was the name of JCVD's character in Expendables 2. lol.


Personally, I'm just hoping Arnie gets in shape so he can show off his biceps alongside Stallone.

I always assumed that if the source of the light was moving towards you, there would ALWAYS be a degree of blue-shifting.

It just won't necessarily be appreciable or even detectable.

But I don't have a clue how fast you'd have to be travelling towards the source before it becomes noticeable.

So, what's Tarzan capable of?

Presumably impressive strength and agility, and Wikipedia claims he becomes immortal at one point... I don't really know anything beyond that though.

[Omegalith]

Relatively light on the pony comments this week:

You mess with the CMC? They'll lock your wheel so you drive off a cliff.

Sweet-3PO, Pony-Cyborg Relations.

I want Ultrabass Bongos now.

I hate having a cold. The pain makes me want to stab my face with a knife, which I'm pretty sure doesn't even make sense. oO

If it helps, I've wanted to carve out the sore bits of my body before. Or tear out my entire abdomen with my bare hands on one occasion.

Basically, your brain rejects things that are unpleasant or hurtful. And it doesn't always realize that those things are actually part of your body when sick or in pain. (Something to do with the somesthetic image getting screwed up, if I recall my biology class.)

It's natural. Not good, but it happens to just about everyone.

Pah, the treacherous components must be made an example of. I shall persist without them through sheer will until replacements can be procured.
