Miss C would look better in a Deanna Troi uniform.
In the Simpson’s pictures is that Bernie Sanders in the chair at Woodstock?
The Bali rice story was long and convoluted but interesting, proving it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature.
Best mashup song I’ve heard, I think Freddie would approve.

The first actor to play a vampire in a film, Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau in Nosferatu, immersed himself in the roll so thoroughly that they later made a movie Shadow of the Vampire pondering whether or not he was actually a vampire himself.

So Nicolas Cage is just following a tradition.
