I just see Murph as being more sober (personality-wise, not booze-wise, you nutjobs ) than either of the characters Sackhoff's played that I've seen. Plus, Sackhoff just doesn't give the impression of tininess. But I'll freely admit she's got the 'tude down pat.

Not having ever even watched the show Heroes, I picture Murphy looking similar to Clea DuVall.

Last I saw - and do please remind me to look this up if I don't come back to it - polar bears are genetically closer to weasels, ferrets and so forth than to other bears. Convergent evolution to some extent.

From what I've quickly read up on Google Scholar, all evidence points to polar bears being actual bears.

Hi y'all. I don't even know how to really describe this in a way that'll make sense but hopefully one of y'all will get my problem and help me out. I was trying to just right click and push "t" to open up a thread as another tab, but I pushed what I think was "g" and now the jim-butcher site looks all funny. Lots of text became white colored, when I pull up the forum page, there's nothing showing in the boxes on the left anymore (I think there used to be a triangle in it before), and when I go into one of the topic pages, nothing shows up in the first two boxes on the left and nothing shows up on the very right where there used to say something about going to the last page. I tried doing right click and "g" again, but it didn't go back to normal. I pushed reload and it's still the same. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and how I can get this to go back to normal? Thanks!

Oh, and also, this seems to be a problem only for this website now. (Though for some strange reason, it may possibly also done weird stuff to my excel program.) God I hate computers so much.

Interestingly enough, Hugh Laurie (yes, the guy who plays House) wrote a book a while back and used the present tense. I found it to be enjoyable, though slightly difficult to follow. I think that might have been because he had a huge assemble of characters, though.

(as long as we're on the subject of avoidance...) So Jim, where's the love? When are you planning to make your stop in Alaska? We like to read up here too, you know!

Thanks Doc! Quick question, "powergame"?
