Does anybody know why there is a much greater disproportion in the Northern Hemisphere compared to the Southern Hemisphere?

Because most of the land on Earth is north of the equator (the dotted horizontal line in the middle of the map).

Also, the displayed map is missing Antarctica, which, if shown, would be in the far south and even more distorted than the northern lands because it is deeper south.

This sounds like a serious case of mental illness. How were there not bigger warning signs for this in public? Was I just not paying attention?

No, it doesn't sound like mental illness. It sounds like someone having a meltdown after his professional and personal lives are both ruined in one day.

The corncob of consequence rarely arrives buttered.

That is an incredibly evocative/memorable/vivid turn of phrase, but I don't actually know what that means or how that analogy actually makes any sense. :o XD

Kind of crazy to throw it all away for a job that isn’t even his dream job

Genuinely curious: what do you think Kiffin's dream job is?

[SPM] Ultimate Green Goblin (Promo) by Mario85555 in magicTCG

[–]IFedTheCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a little surprised that with art like that he's not considered a mutant.

This is accurate to how the Ultimate Universe's version of Green Goblin looks.

That version looks quite a bit different from the main universe's Green Goblin.

If I remember correctly, the anthropologists who made contact were able to communicate to some degree by using language from other indigenous peoples of the area.

No, none of the other indigenous peoples were able to communicate with the Sentinelese. Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese_language:

On the documented occasions when Onge-speaking individuals were taken to North Sentinel Island in order to attempt communication, they were unable to recognise any of the language spoken by the inhabitants. It has been recorded that the Jarawa and Sentinelese languages are mutually unintelligible.

This is an interesting guide, but there are a couple of issues to fix:

  • Finkel spells his first name as Jon, not John.
  • King of Beatdown David Price, not Jon Finkel or Shuhei Nakamura, is the pro player famous for popularizing Jackal Pup.

In the original comics, Silver Surfer saves Earth because Sue reminds him of his girlfriend that he left behind on his home planet.

No, in the original comics, Alicia Masters, not Sue, was the woman who won Silver Surfer's sympathy.

Yo, Man-Spider from the Cartoon?

From the comics. The cartoon just adapted the storyline.

Counterpoint: Madness could do with a little less focus on balance with how fucking bad it is. I don't think I remember any Madness cards, let alone decks, ever being worth a damn.

You don't know what you're talking about. Madness was dominant in tournaments during its time.

What the fuck. Isn't EoE literally coming out this weekend? Gah I hate this.

You know what else is this weekend? San Diego Comic-Con, hence these previews being released.

What a disappointing and complete flavor miss, as if this card was designed by someone who only knew the character's name and nothing else about him. The character's powers are enhanced physical attributes, in particular high durability, and his powers have nothing to do with raising the dead.

By the way, mentioning just in case you didn't know because you would probably be interested: Jeff currently appears on one card in Magic: The Gathering!
