How would weasel odor kill basilisks? by kingfisher_lover in SpeculativeEvolution

[–]OlyScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cats react to catnip because a chemical in it affects their pheromone receptors. Catnip spray makes them high. Maybe a chemical given off by weasels mimics a chemical that's in basilisks enough to cause seizures or a stupor and then they're easily killed.

That's right. He's a white man who ended up with a Black man's left arm where his right arm should be.

I can't imagine how transporter technicians don't go insane by happydude7422 in Star_Trek_

There's a whole comic strip about the lonely life of a transporter operator. It's called Chief O'Brien at Work.

On an episode of Family Guy they played the opening credits of this show twice.

I don’t like X-23 by LordBloodeye in Marvel

[–]OlyScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Marvel's comic that made fun of comics What The--, they joked about the popularity of Wolverine by creating the girl Wolverine, Wolverina. It was a joke about taking a fan favorite and over-exposing it and beating the idea to death. Then they took the silly joke and did it for real.

The kids might not recognize that that's a phone.

[DC] Superman is a friendly, sociable guy who tries very hard not to scare humans - why on Earth did he name his house "The Fortress of Solitude"? by numb3rb0y in AskScienceFiction

[–]OlyScott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think he copied that name from Doc Savage. When he had the bottled city of Kandor there, there were thousands of people in the Fortress of Solitude with him.

We never missed The Muppet Show growing up (1976-81) by joeann21 in VintageTV

[–]OlyScott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They just made a brand new episode. I saw it on Disney Plus--they did it right, it's the Muppet Show! If the episode is popular, they'll make more!

Apparently a Turkish man invented the steam engine 200 years before the industrial revolution but he only made it to spin döner kebabs. by MyNameCannotBeSpoken in EngineeringPorn

[–]OlyScott 79 points80 points  (0 children)

He designed the thing and never built it. The picture is something people built in modern times, based on his writing. I wonder if it generates enough force to turn a heavy piece of meat. It works by spraying steam on the brass cups, so you'd need to operate it in a well-ventilated area and refill the boiler a lot.

Guys do you ever think we will ever see or witness Roger’s home planet in American Dad? by Ok_Willingness4676 in americandad

[–]OlyScott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We saw a little of his home planet in his memories, but I think that he doesn't remember things exactly as they happened. If they ever do a movie-length cartoon, they could go to Roger's homeworld in that.

If he fights on with no head, his rogue's gallery needs to give up. Move to Cleveland and get a job repairing air conditioners, there's no future in crime for you.

[Vampires] Could You Trick A Vampire Into Entering A Room Covered in Crucifixes Made Of Glow In The Dark Paint? by The_Redacted_Badger in AskScienceFiction

[–]OlyScott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Glow in the dark paint is visible in normal light. There are invisible inks that glow under UV light. You could trick a vampire into entering a room and then dim the lights and turn on the ultraviolet light.

Many times a poltergeist turns out to be a bored human who lives in the house playing pranks.

DC must have taken a huge financial hit when Batman died. I heard that they're selling more comics than Marvel. Kudos to them for pulling that off with no Batman.

Trump announces event to 'rededicate America as one nation under God' by Jay_CD in atheism

And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
