Why do so many states list who the current governor is on their signs? Considering how often governors change, it seems like a bit of a waste of tax dollars to maintain such a feature.

How can there be "three copies" of the original? Is that another way of saying the original is gone?

Quite a bad interview, though. There were many more interesting questions that could have been asked, add I think Watterson was clearly irritated by the triteness of what was.

"Who Censored Roger Rabbit?" and the sequel are both quite enjoyable books in their own right. It's worth noting that in the original version, Roger is supposed to be Brown.

Is Don RIckles still alive? He was great as Mr. Potato Head's voice in Toy Story.

Dr. Claw's face could also be seen in the Inspector Gadget video game for the Super Nintendo. He looks the same as the toy, which seems to imply there was a "correct" way for Claw to look, which in turn implies the TV series probably anticipated showing his face in an eventual episode.

This doesn't strike me as too exceptional. I suspect it happens a lot. Maybe not in terms of the length of the marriage, but I at least hold out hope that a lot of ill-conceived divorces don't last long.

I am starting to feel like there is way way too much of this sort of thing these days. Does our generation have no creativity left?

Japan is already in the midst of a severe birthrate decline and this is how the men respond? The country is doooooomed!

I think many Canadians are taught to exaggerate the important of 1867 for patriotic reasons. But after 1867 there was still a) no such thing as "Canadian citizenship," b) no independent Canadian foreign policy (including no Canadian embassies), c) no independent Canadian military, and d) no self-alterable Canadian constitution. The British parliament also retained the ability to legislate for Canada directly, and thus override the Canadian government, if they deemed the cause necessary. Read the words of any 19th Century Canadian politician and you'll see they speak quite openly and proudly of their country's status a "colony," and are actually very down on the idea of "independence" as it implies a split from the Empire. Famous quote from Robert Borden- "The Empire first, and within the Empire, Canada first."

The Statute of Westminster in 1931 saw Canada (and the other dominions of the British Empire) finally gain most of those above powers. There never really was a super-clean break with the Empire (the monarchy still remains, even) but the SoW is probably the best date to recognize what most people would consider "true independence."

It seems a little ostentatious...

It's very difficult to imagine where we can go from here, unhealthiness-wise. Seriously, what can possibly top deep-fried butter?

Speaking as someone who actually lives in Japan, I must say these pictures make the city look about ten million times more beautiful than it actually is. Tokyo is without a doubt one of the most ugly and grim cities you will ever come across. The architecture is generally haphazard and uninspired, the urban planning non-existent, and the advertising garish and boring. There is actually surprisingly little that is modern or futuristic about Tokyo. It's really little more than the urban sprawl, of say, downtown Dayton, Ohio magnified times ten.

I find this a bit patronizing to the children. A child doesn't do a crappy drawing because he likes the quirky, avant-garde appeal of uneven eyes or a mouth that goes off the face or whatever. He draws that way because he can't draw any better, he's still learning, he's too young. This project basically amounts to saying "ha ha, look at the crazy nonsense these doepy children made! Look at how bizarre it looks when their illogical designs are carried into the third dimension!"

Animation was cool... zubject matter was a bit self-indulgent, though. He didn't really have anything to say.
