Well it’s all ‘shit’ from the moment we start eating, if that’s your metric.

You might like ‘aloe water’ too, altho for a different set of health benefits.

It helps with a lot of things.

Haha, much humanier.

The US has been drowning in assholes & idiots for the longest time. Now it’s official, from the top on down.

Nice to see this one full-sized in my feed. Most of the rest of these Hypocra Sea comics only appear in a small window, and need to be clicked to get taken to the OP site, which is less than desirable for me.

I imagine that’s due to a combination of dissent against the war or insufficient support for it? And then, is the implication that their holdings were usually scooped up by the state?

Not sure what you’re talking about, but on the surface it looks like you’re trying to jam a square peg through a round hole. Good luck with that…

*shrug*

TBH, I’d be pretty shocked if the arrangement actually originated with The Tonight Show. In Western-languages cultures (and others), I’m thinking it probably goes back close to the origin of a guest & a host appearing in front of an audience, which could go back… many thousands of years, really.

All things being equal, I would suspect TV simply borrowed from a traditional arrangement that came long before.

Fun concept. Related to that, I understand that our gut bacteria have some actual influence on how our brains operate.

We’re all just borrowing recycled particles for a little while, before making them available for others, in future. Just that man started messing with that traditional equation when he came up with burials, and later coffins.

Not just that, but our living bodies are composed of something like ~50% bacteria and other organisms, and with mites living in our pores, eyelashes, etc. Fun stuff to think about, eh? :D

Hmm… did the Tonight Show desk-format change from what Steve Allen originally set up, or the Jack Paar period, before newcomer Carson arrived?

There you go.

You don’t say!

My visceral issue with that comic series is that either: 1) the faces are weirdly deformed, with their mouths where their noses should be, or 2) they have little Disney button noses, and no actual mouths.

But wouldn’t there then be the risk of them having various state mechanisms turned against them, up to and including defenestration? Billionaire mysteriously dies and state collects a portion of their assets… or something.

Could be influenced by the way in English (and various Western languages), script flows from left to right, which has some influence in our scanning things left to right in general, such as imagery, comics, etc. In such a scenario, the host is like the familiar anchor at the end of the sentence.

Not saying this is the only or prime reason, but I imagine it plays a part.

From way back in the books or something, I seem to recall a story arc that implied he was a clone, and not the original Ben Kenobi, hence the nickname. I think that idea got dropped from the main cannon, though.

IIRC Lucas explained at some point that “R2D2” was a film projectionist term, like “reel two, disc two” or something like that.

Very awesomely meta.
