The question, of course, becomes how useful they will actually be...

Signs
Lesson I: Mel Gibson will probably just hide out in a basement until the aliens go away, even if he claims to be filled with furious anger.
Lesson II: Aliens are weak against water.

So, here I am again, without a real computer, but still I have the will to post some more "lessons" from horror movies, stuff probably (but hopefully not) useful in every day life.

How many people die of cancer every day? In car accidents? From the flu? Stalin was ( Read more... )

Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, died yesterday, the victim of a freak stingray attack of all things. It's not as though this wasn't completely unexpected, as he was a bit of a daredevil, but it is somehow very sad. I joked about him numerous times, about something like this happening (usually involving his trademark "Crickey!"), and now that ( Read more... )
