I got 9 out of ten in the quiz too, getting it wrong on the invisible clock question. What about you?

The problem with radiation vs more usual risks is you need a machine to tell you if you're in danger. And if you've not got one, you're reliant on the media or authorities. Which in practice would boil down to how much you trust the media or authorities.

Ummm... that comic is about Star Trek and has nothing to do with Charlie Sheen.

I still don't get it. And I have seen BSG.

I've seen BSG as well and am confused.

And the utterly baffling visuals?

yup, that's exactly how I read it.
Though knowing nothing about Charlie Sheen makes the whole recent furror on the interwebs utterly bemusing

I'm guessing he's just said loads of weird stuff, and for some reasons people keep repeating it.

I was hoping so much that the last link would be to The Onion.

Dear God, between this sort of nonsense and withdrawing funding from Planned Parenthood, I feel like I should be donating to charities to support women's reproductive health in the USA, nevermind in 3rd world countries :(

the End Times really are upon us.

as little as 18 months ago I could say that in total jest.

my most recent 'wish it was the Onion' link is the one about westminster council considering banning and fining sleeping rough and giving food and blanket to those sleeping rough in its boundaries.

6/8 on the quiz, but I find it annoying that one thing was "science fact" because it was "theoretically possible," but another thing was "science fiction" because, even though people are currently working on it, it hasn't been made yet. I got the first one wrong, which influenced my answer on the second, which I then proceeded to get wrong as well.

Yeah, that annoyed me, I'd have gotten a perfect score aside from that. I've seen pictures of the invisibility cloak--it's not common but it does exist. Baaah!

Seeing an invisibility cloak (in pictures or otherwise) is no proof they exist!

That description of MtG delighted me unutterably, and also reminds me why I stopped playing. ;)

I encountered MtG whilst an unparalleled LARPing snob. I watched a game for an unknown time [it may have been up to 3 hours], asked a couple of friends what was going on [they explained as only a firebrand geek truly can] and figured out that the total cards on deck must be worth at least £10,000.

one guy kept going on about Black Lotus, and how it had cost him a second mortgage, and how he would not play it, but was trying to source a second copy.

That was more than enough to prevent me ever remotely attempting to even look at a card again, never mind play.
