If it's just a stunt, why were all the oil drilling companies (including the one responsible for the platform that blew up today) protesting the moratorium just yesterday?

You're saying that investigating the laws of the universe to figure out how/why the universe as we know it came to be is outside the realm of good physics?

Yes. It's worth it.

Ah, but you see, based on our sample size of ONE planet, we've determined the conditions for life on all planets.

I will never understand the "there can't be life there because most of the life from our planet couldn't survive there" argument. I think it's perfectly reasonable that life could evolve elsewhere without water. In fact, quite likely. Life will adapt to the conditions from which it emerges, not seek to replicate life on earth.

Thanks for pointing that out. Anyone who describes The Girl in The Fireplace as "whimsical" is certainly not to be trusted. I just watched the show and the other review was much closer to my response.

I work in education. If I had a student say they were looking forward to killing someone in my class, I'd be concerned. And if they DID kill someone in my class, everyone would be posting here saying, "Jeez, didn't you all see the clear signs posted on the internet? Why didn't anyone do anything?"

It's a museum for people who enjoy thinking about museums.

The longer you're there, the more you'll realize that what's on display isn't the point, but HOW it's displayed. Also, they have a tea room upstairs that serves "real" tea, cookies, and occasionally live accordion music.

I think the best thing would be to ask to be put in touch with whatever governmental body oversees our party of the galaxy and (hopefully) will protect our rights. If there are no rights, then we're screwed either way because anyone that can travel to us will completely out-class. On the other hand, if we can reach the Shadow Proclamatino of Judoon (or the equivalent) we may be granted some form of protection. Hopefully, this protection will take the form of David Tennant.

This will just cause the evolution of undetectable people who will then topple the Empire.
