What did you buy one of those for man? There is only one Mini Cooper, and it looks like this:

Not this:

I mean, the new ones aren't even bloody small!! They're the size of an average car.

And £180 for a tyre? F**k that.

Still though, you sound like you're a man in need, so I'm willing to make a sacrifice to help you out and offer you a trade - My 1985 Honda Civic for your shitty Mini. I know I'm getting a bad deal, but a friend in need...

And that ending to Timecop? Clearly the matter wasn't attempting to exist in the same space by a handshake. The elemental bonds of the atoms kept the matter from coexisting in the same space. What's up with that?

And jigawatts? What are those anyway? What's up with that?

(I could go on and on time permitting. )

If a person develops cancer from exposure to radiation, does that cancer go away when they move away from the radiation or enter a lead lined room? No. Same deal with Supes.

Timecop, yeah, I'll give you that one.

As for Jigawatts, WHAT THE HELL IS A JIGAWATT? (Although I'm guessing it actually is scientific facts and not just a funny word invented by the writers).
