I'd like to think that she'd say "2,000 open parentheses question mark question mark end parentheses BC"

Reply to comment by Sonny_Crockett_1984 in What are some very obscure, 90s-era Tarantino rip-offs by GrudenGrinder
No, I'm saying that it was made because of the success of Pulp Fiction. It's not that Leonard ripped off Tarantino, it's that the adaptation was greenlit because of the success of Pulp Ficiton.
I added a number of movies that were mostly bad, but specifically made sure to say that Get Shorty wasn't that bad.
I don't know what more I had to do to couch that.

There were so many bad Pulp Fiction rip off movies. 2 Days in the Valley, Reindeer Games, Get Shorty (not as bad), Suicide Kings

That's when you look at your watch and panic, because you can't tell if it's AM OR PM and you seriously believe you slept 14 hours, but are still tired.

All of the Supernatural tied shows (with cast and crew) seem to be slightly safer- The Winchesters, Kung Fu, Walker, Walker2.0, etc.

Reply to The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 2022: Awarded to Svante Pääbo "for his discoveries concerning the genomes of extinct hominins and human evolution" by shiruken
This is actually underselling his career.
He developed the entire process and laboratory requirements to even get viable aDNA results. Before that, ancient DNA studies were almost akin to snake oil in a lot of ways.
He made important discoveries on the FOXP2 gene, did some of the first genetic research on Egyptian mummies, got some of the first mammoth genetic results, worked with insects in amber, and so on.
I highly recommend his quasi-memoir Neanderthal Man: In Search of Lost Genomes. It's an interesting read and also a lot of fun.

Jane always came off as a kind of Mary Sue to me so many times. She was just the best at everything to where I was rolling my eyes at times.
