Pff.. Tom Bombadilis mentioned in passing and one can only build theories.

Bombadil is none other than Ulmo gone native, up the Withywindle. Finally got a girlfriend, who's actually of the order of Maiar. The One told him he can't directly confront Sauron, but he's a great outfitter. One time he equipped Tuor before sending up to Gondolin.

Today is International Female Orgasm Day.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

The HBO series Deadwood consists of just 36 episodes, during which the word ‘fuck’ (and its  derivatives) occurs a total of 2980 times, or an average of 1.5 fucks per minute.

‘Cocksucker’ is a distant second at 273.

Kim Cattrall, who played the Vulcan Valeris on Star Trek VI, posed nude wearing only vulcan ears and eye brows on the Enterprise bridge set.

Leonard Nimoy, who played the other Vulcan in the movie, had the pull to have the photos destroyed to avoid damaging the public image of Star Trek.

I rather suspect that, at this point, Star Trek’s public image could only be helped by bit of nuditity.

I think the public image of star trek has been “the emperor has no cloth” for some considerable time now.

It started with the second Jar Jar Abrams Star Trek movie when Khan used a suitcase transporter device to go to Kronos.  If you can do that not even God would need a starship.

Yeah, I won't watch that utter bullshit.

Glad I'm not the only one who calls him JarJar Abrams.

They better not let him near StarGate...

In 1976, a Playboy Magazine music poll ranked Karen Carpenter as the best drummer in the world. Led Zeppelin’s John Bonham placed second.
