Royal Wedding

I think the most important part of today's wedding thing, that most people seem to be glossing over is the fact that Prince William is now the Baron Carrickfergus.

Which is an incredibly awesome name...

Elephant Pontifications was the second.

Today's Word Of The Day

Prognostications.

Was trying to help Trevor come up with a suitable name for his blog. Elephant Prognostications was the first one that popped into my head.

The Lost Room

Scifi Channel Original miniseries from quite some time ago.

I watched it a while ago, and remember it being really damn good. So, when it came on again, I wanted to re-watch it to see if it was in fact as good as I thought it was.

It was/is.

Ferocious Planet

'11. An experimental machine transports a group of people to a new dimension. Starring: Joe Flanigan, John Rhys-Davies, Dagmar Doering, Catherine Walker, Rob Soohan.

Syfy Saturday movie from 4/9.

I should hope you recognize the name Joe Flanigan. As in, father of Fergus.

Seems Lt. Col. Sheppard got a promotion to full-bird, and changed services from the Air Force to the Marines. And he's back to using a Beretta, like the first season of Atlantis, rather than the Para Ordnance he used in later seasons.

Also, don't expect Senator Gimli, son of Congressman Gloin, to be of any use when you travel to an alternate universe. He's just gonna panic, and get et by random critters. Because, chances are, Sallah did this solely for the paycheck, and to allow the producers of this movie to use his name on the advertisements.

Although, Colonel Fergus Father seems to think that in order to combat that problem, they will need a larger watercraft. To which Private No Personality, replies with a very monotonous "Boat?".

And apparently y squared over 1 = a hat times x, which also = the square root of (A+U)/2pi. And somehow that explains how one shifts between alternate dimensions. Seems to be the writer's laziness, by just having the characters write random equations, rather than having to write any sort of dialogue to explain what happened.

Also, apparently one shouldn't poke the alien corpse. Unless you want to get acideded in the face.

Also, a gigantic monster thing apparently took offense at Private No Personality's lack of personality and lack of a sense of humor. And mauled him. A well deserved mauling.

And now for some Caps game.

Stargate Universe

Colonel Young has similar glasses to me!

Frame and lense shape is very close. Can't tell about the temples.

Also, aren't the gates made of naquadah? Which is extremely explosive? So, when it got hit by the drone weapon, shouldn't it have exploded?

Unless the gates in this end of the universe are made of something different.

Also, how the hell do scientists not recognize Morse Code when they see it. I figure that any halfway intelligent person could at least recognize something as Morse Code, not necessarily read it, but recognize it as such.

Vegetables?

Why is it acceptable to indoctrinate our children with the idea that vegetables taste bad?

With products like V8 Fusion and Mott's Medleys both running advertising campaigns that are basically focused on telling parents to convince their kids that hiding vegetables behind fruit is the only acceptable way of eating them.

Stargate Universe

Always nice to see David Hewlett on a Stargate show. Good old Dr. McKay.

But I am disappointed that they went all the way to Langara, but didn't look in on Jonas Quinn.

Also, since the Destiny dropped out of hyperspace due to Ginn's interference, shouldn't that have disrupted the communication stones? Which would kinda screw up their "Swindle the Langarans" plan.

Remember That Night - David Gilmour Live At The Royal Albert Hall

So, David Bowie sings a few songs at the end of the concert. After his first one, he decides that he needs to introduce David Gilmour.

Even though we're over 2 and a quarter hours into the concert. The David Gilmour concert...

Way to go there, guest singer man...

Today's Word Of The Day

GAH!

Have you ever tried to change headlights on a Mazda 3? In fading light?

I wouldn't recommend it. Unless you're tiny.

Its damned annoying.
