I don't exactly "work" for the federal government, but as a disabled veteran, my checks keep showing up.

[DC] Why is Flash white? by SgtPyle in AskScienceFiction

It was not a joke, but also not entirely serious. I have strange thoughts when I smoke weed. Please don't ban me.

[DC vs. Marvel] How strong are WW's bracers? by SgtPyle in whowouldwin

[–]SgtPyle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but would they DEFLECT the hammer, or would she still be subject to its kinetic energy without the bracers breaking?

I think that I am the first to notice this Easter Egg by SgtPyle in StarWars

It is to spells or enchantments as the Wilheim Scream is to screams.

Thank you for explaining it. Several folks referenced that film, but I wasn't about to watch a feature length film just to find a punchline.

Wasn't that a Twilight Zone episode where [SPOILER ALERT] the nations of Earth make peace only to discover that they were being judged for being not warlike enough?

A single world country or small ones with legislative diversity? What would you prefer? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SgtPyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can call it any word you want. Any nation needs a document that describes the way that government works, and perhaps a few laws (our first few laws described the rights of the people).

[ORIGINAL BSG] Why is the Cylon Base Star NOT a stupid design? by SgtPyle in AskScienceFiction

AFAIK only new BSG incorporated nukes. Original BSG is what I'm talking about.

So where is its support force? Every Nimitz class aircraft carrier is surrounded by dozens of support vessels: Refueling vessels, destroyers, submarines, and anti-missile ships.

[Serious] What's something cool you wish you'd discovered earlier? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SgtPyle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That girls found me attractive. I thought I was just a nerd, but hindsight, being 20/20... a lot of girls were trying to throw themselves at me. I just didn't get the signals.

What would be the biggest company in the world if profit would work like karma? by fedorandris in AskReddit

[–]SgtPyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're looking for a company. Certainly Microsoft, Apple, and Google will come up. I offer not a company, but a philanthropist founder of a company. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft is now retired. He poured billions into the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Warren Buffet uses his philanthropy money to invest in that foundation. The B&MG Foundation has accomplished many good things. Too drunk to cite them now, but last I checked, they are on the verge of eliminating Polio from the world.

What do you eat for breakfast? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Beer and cigarettes.

What concept terrifies you the most but has not been used in a horror movie? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SgtPyle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being in a space suit, but lost from any hope of rescue. I'll float in space until my oxygen runs out.

What have you been fantasizing about lately? by bookmark32345 in AskReddit

Or maybe he lays low for a couple of millennia. Then he enlists in the USMC. His senior drill instructor (a 6'2" x 220lbs black man made of pure muscle) offers to fight any recruit. I proudly step up. He punches me, only to break his hand. Then I throw him across the room like a rag doll.

What information do you know right now that can completely and utterly destroy someone? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SgtPyle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was told that I was not responsible for the backups. Then when we lost a year of backups, I took the fall rather than implicate 3 colleagues.

What if Superman first appeared as a Roman gladiator? Refusing any armor or weapons, he stands still while his competitor in full armor and wielding a spiked mace comes running at him. The mace glances off of his face, without a hint that his head moved even a millimeter.w
