Right. She never even said anything to him about her birthday arrangements. And it’s possible he arranged this because she said the Avengers movie was good, so he figured she’d participate and enjoy herself.

Conversely, it’s possible he didn’t know it was her birthday, since she never really lets anyone know anything about herself, other than what she hates.

A dog limps into a Western bar, with a bandage around one foot. As he approaches the bar he growls, “Ah’m lookin’ fer the man who shot mah paw!”

It’s pretty rude to throw someone a birthday party and do a bunch of stuff that they hate doing, and then call them a jerk for not liking it!

I think that’s what annoys me most when people try to put down nerdiness or nerd culture … they’re trying to put down your enthusiasm and make it something you should be embarrassed about. But having enthusiasm for things (especially stories and art of various mediums) is a great thing!

Two chemists walk into a restaurant. One says, “I’ll have H2O.” The other says, “I’ll have H2O, too.” And then he dies.

“It makes me bullet proof, huh?” < Wow, Malaya. Your self-assured world view is stunning.

The beauty of the water solution is it is FAR cheaper than an equal quantity of either bullet-resistant glass or steel, and you can still see through it. The problem is, short of being in a pool of water, to contain and hold the water in position would require something that WOULD be penetrable, otherwise you would be right back where you started with cost. Then, it would be effective for maybe one shot.

I haven’t seen Zii or Dillon do anything all that bad to others (in a general sense) that Yuki hasn’t both done and topped on a regular basis, which her phallusophobia doesn’t justify one bit. I’d hardly call Gary a Butt Monkey, considering his horrid, codependant approach to both life and relationships. He has 3 hot chicks fighting over him when he should still have to settle for kleenex, some lotion, and some privacy.

Well, Lucy at least tried to be friendly this time.

I feel reasonably certain that that bullet was not included in the stated Mythbuster episode.

Let me put it another way: I would like to see the side by side where a particular bullet will not penetrate X distance of water but will penetrate the same thickness of bulletproof glass

(okay, I admit, I would also like to see the specific bullets you mention, just for holy crap factor, regardless of their meeting the aforementioned specification)

But my point was more along the lines that the Mythbusters episode certainly doesn’t make water “more bulletproof” than bulletproof glass. If I put enough plain AIR between me and a shooter, it will eventually be enough to stop a bullet (ignoring that gravity’s gonna be an issue long before air resistance is), or jello, or tissue paper, or whatever; how much is enough is going to vary considerably by material and by bullet/gun, but basic physics says you put enough resistance in something’s way, it’ll stop eventually. So while sitting at the bottom of a pool makes you pretty darn bulletproof in the grand scheme of things, I have doubts that it’d be more protective than equal quantities of bulletproof glass.
