  1. And Granted, you are a DDR arcade game making people dance poorly. To continue the xkcd theme... I wish I had a car that could go fast enough that red lights appeared green due to the doppler effect.
  2. No it isn't a thing. http://what-if.xkcd.com/14/ Glass either lets light through or reflects it, but there’s no glass that lets light through one way and reflects it the other way. The glass in police shows is partially reflective (on both sides). The key is that the room on the prisoner’s side is brightly lit, so the reflection washes out the small amount of light from the observers’ side.
  3. http://www.gly.uga.edu/railsback/CS/CSIndex.html for some creation stories from around the world.
  4. Not everyone believes in God or your particular version of God whichever version that might be. Creation stories can be interesting. I'm trying to remember some of the stories told in some of the fantasy books I've read. I'm thinking there was a good one in a book about a puppeteer (shadow puppets?) but I can't remember the title to find the book to reference. Then again I like stories and stories within stories. I think I've heard or read that the stories we tell each other help define who we are. What does it mean for us when there are so many stories available to us now? I wonder how things might be different if the story of Adam of Eve was told diffferently.

    ???E? because MAGES = 3 but MAGUS = 2 and E/U is the only difference. -edit- And thank you TheChad08. ( I think it is silly for some of the evil dictionary people to allow a modernization of magus to mage but enforce the archaic plural of magi. I also played as a mage for a bit on a RP server in wow during the whole Northrend thing. I think I channelled that character for a bit there. Crazy trouble making gnomes... )
  6. Granted, but they all arrived in Rhode Island. http://what-if.xkcd.com/8/ I wish a one way mirror was an actual thing.

    Odd... Dictionary.com says that Magi is the plural of Magus not Mage. Which would make sense because quite a few English words that end in -us use -i in the plural form. Also found an interesting conversation on a WOW forum arguing for both forms. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/mages#English I think if you are going to rule mages isn't a word then you have to rule that mage isn't a word either.
  8. However you like? Alrighty then. Are you familiar with Neil Gaiman? A Dream of a Thousand Cats in The Sandman Volume Three, Dream Country. A mother cats suffering the loss of her kittens due to her owners because the father wasn't a pure-breed goes on a quest for understanding. She finally meets Dream in cat form and he tells her that once humans were tiny creatures no larger than cats are now. Their role was to serve the cats and when the moon was full to serve as prey. Then there came a human that had an inspiration that it was dreams that shape the world. That dreams recreate the world every night. He told any human he met to not dream the world as it is but to dream of a new world where humans were masters. Finally enough humans dreamed of this new world and the next day it changed. She began telling other cats this and encouraged them to start dreaming things back to the way it was. And this is why I tend to poke my cat when he is asleep by the computer.
  9. Granted. It turns out that the mannequin you "stole" was Kim Cattrall http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093493/ so therefore not stolen property. However you are now Andrew McCarthy and had to act in Weekend at Bernie's 2. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108539/ I wish phaze was actually Andrew McCarthy.
  10. Granted but it came from Ikea so some assembly is required and the instructions are in Swedish (you think). I wish that Yoruichi-san was a kitten. -edit- And by some assembly is required I mean a LOT of assembly is required.
  11. Granted, you have better things to do with your time but now you don't have the time to do them. I wish that Yoruichi-san had a kitten.
  12. Because the translation program s/he used is silly? ( The "last name as Sharma" part seems really weird to me when I say it out loud. I wasn't a fan of English class, is this a correctly formed sentence? ) A typo? Because s/he is performing an experiment based upon our reaction to said "clue". The electronic internet kittehs that live in the net got the words mixed up when delivering the post to the database. I favor #4 personally. btw, I did find this puzzle somewhat amusing when I made the standard box thing and filled it in. ( The one most logic puzzle use. Does it have a name? ) -edit- And I just realized that internet kittehs that live in the net is redundant but in a fun way.
  13. Every logic puzzle I've done had all the clues in a list. The descriptive text was never used as a clue. It was misleading to use "One of the teachers has his last name as Sharma" instead of "One of the teachers has the last name of Sharma" but since it wasn't in the clue list why use it as a clue?
  14. Moon Knight? Taskmaster? Johnny Sorrow? 9-Jack-9? Monsieur Choc? Baron Zemo? Mano? Time Trapper? The Blank? Captain Rochnan?
  15. Or are you thinking more Vivi (from FFIX)
  16. Would Deadpool work? Since you said glowing eyes under a cowl? Not sure what you are wanting exactly... How would Ironman fit in your request if he was a villain?
  17. Rorschach from Watchmen Cobra Commander? Does Darth Vader count? Daleks?

    I had to attack you Panther. Phil told me you were my enemy. Here is proof.
  19. Maggie Rizer - United Airlines? Apparently her dog was killed by heatstroke during a cross-country flight. United Airlines claims nothing wrong since her other dog or others didn't die from it. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/09/21/supermodel-maggie-rizer-united-airlines-killed-her-dog-bea-golden-retriever-_n_1903661.html
  20. Kittens. Lots and lots of furry kittens.

    R-iiii-ght I betcha that I go down first. Since both Panther and gvg took position to threaten my planets. If it was just Panther I might have a chance to hold him off long enough fo the two of you to build strength but gvg wants to play too. I hope you enjoy watching me go down in flames....flame.
  23. What happens if they take action and it doesn't stop the plague? Now they have the effect of the plague plus the embarassment and cost of taking action. Just because advisor has been right in the past doesn't logically make anything he says in the future correct. In the video he assumes that the worst case for the first box is just economic. If the climate change isn't human caused then won't we still get hit by all the disasters listed in the fourth box? Just because in that case it isn't our fault the climate is changing doesn't mean the problem goes away.
