Both. Made up the name. The cloned lungs part, though, came from a short story that was published in 1996.

You have Zuckussitis. It can only be cured by spending 50,000 credits on a pair of illegally-cloned lungs.

That's really the only way that I can watch the show. I need to shut my brain off for that half hour and enjoy the ride. I do enjoy watching the show, but not having a TV or cable/satellite puts a real damper on watching it.
As for Detours, it's non-canon. I'm fine with that. It's humorous. I'm fine with that, too. I love Robot Chicken: Star Wars and have all three DVDs. However, what truly bothers me about Detours is that they have utterly forsaken their stop-motion roots. That is simply unforgivable.

Agreed. I liked the show for the action and the animation, but all the canon-raping just drove me up a wall. Now it's on at a time that I definitely can't watch, even if I made a point to go to my grandma's every weekend to watch it! I've been just waiting out the DVD releases.
With how TCW was moved to Saturday mornings... there's rumor that the show may not see a sixth season. Part of me is glad, as it means they'll stop screwing stuff up. Part of me is sad, though, as no more SW on TV and all I'll have now to watch is... *shudder* ...Detours.

For now it's makeup, and it takes her a half-hour to put it all on. However, she's expressed getting plastic surgery to make it permanent.

Apparently that's a test that only specialists use around here. I had to go two counties over to my specialist for my eye surgery. That was where they did the metal probe poke test. Even for a routine eye exam, I'd have several different types of drops put in, my eyes poked and prodded, light shown in them, I'd be looking through prisms and reading random letters...
My other eye doctor recommended vision therapy, as my eyes don't work together very well. :/

« on: October 13, 2012, 04:43:50 AM »It's a new type of wasp found in Indonesia(?) It has freaking long ass jaws which holds the female during hawt wasp secks
Ah. I had a feeling that that may have been a male. I also suspect that those jaws would have a relatively weak biting force, unlike the female. In other insect species, when males display large mandibles like that, such as the dobson fly, the jaws tend to be relatively weak in comparison to the female's normal mandibles, which could inflict a painful nip (I've been bitten by a female dobson fly. Not pleasant). I suspect, then, that the male may eat very little, if at all. If it eats, it may simply eat nectar.

I learned that there is another eye-pressure test that some doctors are using that involves drops and a slit lamp to look inside the eye. However, my eye doctors don't use it. Nope, it's either the standard air puff test or the metal probe test. Personally, I prefer the metal probe test, where they put drops in your eyes to numb them, and then poke the cornea with a metal probe to gauge eye pressure. Not quite as annoying as that air puff test.
Just you young'uns wait. You'll reach the age where you'll be complaining about that glaucoma test, too. Or about having to get your yearly flu shot. Or getting an EKG standard with your physical.

Wasps, bees, and ants are order Hymenoptera, with different families, genus, and species. Termites belong to the order of Blattodea and are only very distantly related to Hymenoptera. None of them are "pretty much the same species". Same order for wasps, bees, and ants, but not termites. Termites are in the same class, which is Insecta.
Fire ants are not wingless wasps. They belong to the same order and suborder as wasps (Hymenoptera and Apocrita), but their family is Formicidae. Velvet ants (Mutillidae) are true wingless wasps.

Let's see... I've swam with moon jellies (and have been stung by them) when a swarm of them washed up in Delaware. Otherwise, I enjoy watching them swim. They're peaceful and mesmerizing and relaxing to watch.
You can also eat jellyfish.
I also like stingrays. Scratch that; I love stingrays. They're so cute and social.

I'll stick with DSL. My installation costs were around $206, and I was still paying off about $85 each month for other installation fees, as in order to properly hook the damn thing up, they had to get the local electrician involved. My cost has dropped $70, now, but I'm still paying for a modem rental. I also have a federal LifeLine program helping with some of the cost, though Pennsylvania sales tax doesn't help matters much. Considering how much my Internet is currently... I'm gonna stick with Centurylink.

« on: October 11, 2012, 07:51:29 AM »Is there any bug or animal you are scared of?
Not really. There are certain species that I maintain a respect for, as they are dangerous and I respect that and therefore avoid them, but I don't fear them. However, I do think maggots are icky. I don't fear them, I can stand to watch them, and there were times when I was forced to actually handle them. Though, it doesn't change the fact that I think that they're icky.

My brother enjoyed watching Johnny Test, and I've watched several episodes. I wouldn't say that I like it, as I need to be in a certain mood to watch it, but I don't necessarily hate the show, either. I really don't know why I watched it. My brother doesn't know why he watched it, really. But, we watched the show.
And we're as picky about our cartoons as picky can be. :/
