nick3060 asked: Well after a little more digging I suppose I also hate the obvious ones... Cersei, Joffrey, Robert Arryn, Lysa Tully, and Tywin. Melisandre gives me bad vibes too, but she is interesting.
More questions?! :D How about favorite minor characters in ASOIAF? Mine are The Hound, Strong Belwas, and Pod (he reminds me of me when I was young). Hope he doesn't die.

What happens in a nuclear reactor meltdown →
chels:
I haven’t been able to stop fretting about the nuclear disaster on hand in Japan. The NYTimes does a stellar job with this infographic describing exactly what happens when a reactor shuts down and during a meltdown.

we are knowledgeable and clever and good looking

me: lol
can that be our halloween costume
Christine: hahaha
if all goes well with this podcast, our fans will be dressing up as us for Halloween

Science Fiction! Double Feature!
tapiocanaif:
