    Just for the context, they lost 16% yesterday, which is one day after the prayer, which tells you about the efficacy of those

    I have to say it…

    X is not a valid name for anything, and will never fit grammatically as a proper name. It doesn’t matter how long somebody insists on using it.

      Yeah that’s why it’s a common variable name and it’s partly because its a common variable name

      It’s a valid name for the chemical accidentally used by Prof Utonium to create the powerpuff girls.

          In Battlestar Galactica, humanity has fled earth after a hostile takeover by AI. On their last remaining ark fleeing to a habitable planet are Cylons, AI disguised as humans, some not even aware they ARE cylons. Fantastic show.

            finally got around to finishing that, it was pretty good, my only beef was

            spoiler

            whatever the hell Starbuck was after she came back? Also, they introduced the concept of cylons ‘casting’ visions, but evidently that wasn’t what Gaius was experiencing? then what was it? Seemed like they were pushing the idea of christianity in a freaking science fiction show, and it completely turned me off the last season.

                Wait did I miss something I read that like 10 years ago…

                Also, I used to think the message board propaganda thing that the siblings did that radicalized more than half of the voters was far fetched and a little corny. Turns out that was the most realistic part.

            They should have stuck with the fan theory that Cylonism could spread like an STD rather than… Whatever the ending was.

              Yeah another contender of ‘fantastic show that produces an absurd ending that kind of ruins it’. But it was a wild ride the whole time, and I enjoyed it.

          A scanner is a machine that creates a digital version of a physical object, most commonly a piece of paper. But that’s not important right now.

        He probably still has the spine scanner, we just never saw it because the BSG producers are cowards.
