This is basically the plot of the book โ€œMortโ€

Shadowrun: Hong Kong is good, but in my opinion Dragonfall was the best.

Bayonetta would be per high on that list. When the game came out there were articles written about her ass.

Wouldnโ€™t that just be 3rd Rock From the Sun?

Under the strictest definition, no. A cannibal is โ€œperson or animal that eats the flesh of its own speciesโ€. Youโ€™re not consuming flesh.

If expelled fluid counted then babies and anyone who ever kissed someone on the mouth would also count.

Not an MD but Iโ€™ve always wondered if some of the diagnoses from House MD were realistic. Of ones that could be real, I wouldnโ€™t have guessed this.

Just to add my thoughts: โ€œcrackerโ€ could definitely be a racist term if used in this context. However, it will never have to meaning, connotation, or social stigma that the n-word does (especially spoken by a non-Black person).

The reason for this has nothing to do with one term being more racist than other (though that could easily be argued), but rather the social history. Iโ€™d be surprised if there are even a few lynchings of Whites, by Blacks, while that term was being yelled.

Historically, in America, Whites were the โ€œtopโ€ racial group and Blacks were second class citizens at best. A disenfranchised group having a derogatory word for the group that is doing the disenfranchising will never have the same power as one used by a โ€œruling classโ€ on this they are trying to oppress.

I have the DVDs of Buffy and Angel โ€” what did they do to the remasters?
