And which one is the worst? *runs for cover*

Not the worst per se, but I never liked the vocal backing to the celebration at the end of TPM. Other than that I can't think of anything. Except Jedi Rocks.

The chorus is a little weird there... but it is the Emperor's Theme in a different key/octave/tempo, so that's pretty cool.

Mind blown.

Ask the member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints AKA Interrogate the Mormon

And I am teasing you, Sir! It's like Inception!

 

I understand people well enough to know that arbitrariness and fear of the unknown are hallmarks of humanity. I understand why people choose religion as their security blanket, but I will never understand why they choose religion as their security blanket.

I really don't care to, either, as it generally has no bearing on my life and is none of my business. It just blows my mind sometimes.

As for why, "No, no, there is no why! *exasperated sigh* Nothing more will I teach you today."

Okay, I will teach you this one last thing, and then I will follow up on the other comments tomorrow.  The reason for opposing such drinks is not given in the revelation.  However, caffeine does have some minor negative implications and can be addictive, as has been shown through the success of Starbucks (Starbuck's? S'tarbucks?) and our country's heavy reliance on coffee.  Based on  my limited research, some evidence shows that coffee has negative effects on health, though I know that this is contradictory.  The same can be said of tea, with its (it's? 'tis?) pluses and minuses.  When the said revelation was given in 1833, the negative effects of tobacco and alcohol were not known, and yet they are well-known now.  We churchy folks are happy to attribute this to the wisdom of God who knew before we did that these things just ain't good fer ya.  We believe that he knows what is best, and thus we do not consume.

This is why I will never understand religion.

 

Also: "Its" is for a property of something, "Its head, its face, its scent, its warmth."

"It's" is a contraction of "it is," and would therefore be used to describe "it."

LEGO
Time

I have a shitload of Star Wars lego sets, and most of the legos I accumulated as a child in my room in Tucson. I receive legos just about every year for either Christmas, my birthday, or both.

The worst part of that is, I dunno what to do with them now. They're neat and all, but you build 'em once and that's kinda it for me, these days. They just go up on my shelf and collect dust.

People pirate books now?

 

What don't people pirate? Since E-Books became a thing, I'm sure book piracy has increased a hundredfold. But before that, there were scanners. Before that, there were people with a lot of time and WordPad. Before that, there were monks.

Say Goodbye to the Simpsons (UPDATE: false alarm)

I never regularly watched this show.

FOTY

I only regularly watched TV as a lad when my morning cartoons were on. At that point, my parents deemed me "too young" for The Simpsons, and my bedtime was always before it came on.

When I got old enough to watch it, I had video games and stuff I'd rather do instead and had pretty much stopped watching TV regularly.

That said, I have seen many episodes of the show.
