To be unfair-- Shatner's original vision involves the crew finding out Satan is real, proving that higher-power beings do exist. Roddenberry's original vision involves the crew learning that God is really just a defective robot that has visited humanity for countless millenia.
"Ask not for whom the bell tolls / It tolls for thee" is an iconic line from a poem about death by John Donne, referring to churchbells ringing during a funeral. As such, "For Whom the Bell Tolls" is used for novel and song titles, among others.
That's part of the third panel calculations-- selecting a year that is after all children have been born so that you can mess with the timeline without McFly-ing yourself. Doesn't help with butterfly effect, though.

Does it actually work? I thought for sure the cheap half-ply of a public restroom would be too thin to block the censor.
While funny, I have yet to see anything that confirms Leavitt's quote about the doctored image-- only the secondhand transcript that sets up the joke. We have enough reasons to laugh at him without resorting to fake info.
...Since the early 90s, at least? Egg dyeing is for hard-boiled eggs that only your parents eat, and egg hiding is for the plastic clam shells with candy inside. Or maybe Bible verses if your church is awful.
Also, knowing who lies and who tells the truth means nothing when you don't know which door is safe and which door is death. People assume the liar has the bad door but that's never stated. The point of the riddle is that you have to learn which door is safe with only one question.
I'd thought that the H came from early 2000s meme flash animation culture. It was randomly chosen, and anything else is a backronym.
Extra related note-- a valid form of ID is required to vote in Kansas. The vast majority of citizens use their driver's licenses for this.
Okay, but... if I lock my feet and knees to stay facing forward, I cannot bend my hip in such a way that I could rest on a surface directly behind me. So why would the human expect a centaur to be that flexible? It's a human torso, not an owl neck.
"I served under the Reagan administration, which gleefully allowed AIDS to run rampant among the LGBTQ+ Community, and I wonder if there were signs of our bigotry and hatred back then."
#17 I love it when people try to use stars in the sky for romance. The light we see is hundreds, thousands, millions of years old depending on the star in question-- and that star may already be dead. Let alone the part where the distance between those two stars in the sky is equally indescribable.
Much worse than that, actually. https://nanoscandal.com goes into the details.
And that was the interim director who said that. The prior director stepped down after a scandal involving allegations of child grooming on the forums that went uninvestigated for several months.
It's going the way of Inktober, and I love to see it.
I would also like to have this explained. ...for my friend. Who is me.
Well, to quote Swedish Chef-- "Horpa, flibbity foopy floop. Hork bork bork!"

The two things are completely unrelated, but they are both accurately labeled. It's an anti-joke.
If this happened in the US-- if it's insured as an antique or some other specialty policy, they'd have pretty good odds of getting it covered by insurance. But yeah, if it's just a standard policy, it would almost certainly a total loss settlement. Since this is presumably the UK, or at least Europe, I am not sure what the options would be.
I feel this. I struggle with the difference between "a man who does not conform to gender stereotypes" and "not actually a man" but like... I don't have to understand it to respect it and support it. I am never gonna dispute or gatekeep a person's sincere label.
I mean, sure, but 88 mph is chosen because-- conversion bot, I see. Carry on.
Yes, the tea is the hot goss.
He could get Gov flood insurance, they have to accept pretty much anyone. Does he want to pay the almost certainly expensive cost of it? Probably not. But he could.
And yeah, the intentional flooding means there is almost no way insurance will kick in... but if they didn't have the right policy, what do they have to lose? Flood is an excluded peril for pretty much any insurance policy except for specific, flood-only policies.
I mean... it's not as crazy as it sounds. One of the biggest causes of flood damage is the heavy, static weight of water pressing against an empty interior space until something breaks and water gushes in. This is the exact logic Flood Vents use-- if you can't prevent damage you can at least lessen it. The inner and outer water pressure is balanced, and so hopefully the only damage will be replacing any furnishings prone to mildew.
It's also worth noting "comedy" just means "happy ending" for the 1600s, so it's not all a laugh riot. "Merchant of Venice" or "The Tempest" can be very problematic in places, but it is what it is.
Stick to the comedies, and avoid the tragedies or the historicals. Common ones include "A Midsummer Night's Dream", "Twelvth Night", "As You Like It", "Taming of the Shrew", and "Much Ado About Nothing".
Nice Try, time traveller. We're still onto you.
