I still prefer Giles with a chainsaw, but it loses points for being in a less-than-stellar episode... still a great moment though.
I mean, let's say you did kill us. Or didn't. There could be torture. Whatever. But somehow you found the goods. What would your cut be?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm doing my first laundry in the building, and I hate it already! Drying takes almost an hour! And I would do a second load, but I'm out of quarters. Next time I'll try the laundromat down the street.

I wish I had a root and a laundry in my building.
I just had to look up the circumference of the earth when I realized I had no idea how big it was in miles.
Raise your hand if you know approximately the earth's circumference? (And whitefont your answer if you're feeling sassy)
This is a brief survey on What Is Generally Known, so no points for looking it up.

It's got its convenience, for sure, but only one of each machine and no bill changer is a bummer.

I have no idea about the circumference of the earth, BTW.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Without looking it up, I think the Earth's circumference is about 26,000 miles.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Scola's in the ballpark.
I was reading something about human size relative to the curvature of the earth and suddenly realized I had no idea what the answer was.
And it seemed like that's something that everybody should know. Just a general idea.
The exact answer: 24859.82 miles (or 4008 km)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Beautiful. My credit card number got jacked and someone tried to make a $1500 purchase this morning, so Fraud Alert called me. At least whoever stole my number was a complete moron. I was out shopping all day yesterday, making lots of purchases, so I guess that's how it happened.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can someone explain to me what this cable ever did to be worth $90? Sheesh. And apparently it's a bargain, because a Monster one can go for $169. Should I really not buy this?

All that cable did was line the pockets of Belkin.
Buy the cheap one. All of my HDMI cables cost less than $5 each. There have been a number of double blind tests showing essentially no difference between the bargain bin ones and the snake oil salesman ones (Yes, I'm looking at you Monster Cables, you sleazy company).
