Planets, Space & Satellites don't exist
The Sun doesn't exist remember? Strapping him onto a raft and pushing him off the edge of the world(he does believe that the world is flat right?) would be more appropriate and cheaper. That's my point though. Just thinking of his exquisite satisfaction as he is proved right and he crashes into a plywood and LED facsimile of the sun.

See now Volo. this is what makes you a troll's troll. A willingness to say or do quite literally _anything_ just to provoke a response. You poor deranged bastard.

Arachnophobia
It is part of the settled order of things that when a man is faced by a part of nature he doesn't like he should _always_ fight. Never flee. Then, ideally, kill, cook, and eat said nature with a cold pale ale.

Careful Wals, we don't want to give them any ideas... Is Dredd still in print? Of course Dredd is still in print. The Galaxy's Greatest Comic still comes out weekly, with Biff Clenchteeth in almost every issue.

Arachnophobia
Kaine, what gives with the tentacle fear? Tentacles are nature's way of telling me someone isn't a relative and I can souse them in teriyaki marinade, barbecue and eat them.

To be fair, the new "kewl" Superman ditched the red undies. And like Oerwinde said, Superman has been depowered(although the reboot probably undid it) and isn't quite as smart or strong. Doesn't matter though, Spider-Man is better. I think it's only fair to state at this point that the only two comic book heroes I recognise are Judge Dredd and Jesse Custer. Everyone else might as well be saving lives using a note from their mum.

I agree that causality itself is an illusion. Any attempt to prove otherwise will rely upon causality and be self-referential. I should like to ameliorate my earlier statement a little. I don't mind people talking on their phones during movies. Provided this is used as a means of enabling aggressive eugenics. With badgers.

Arachnophobia
I really don't understand what makes spiders any creepier than any other crawly. They're just hard-working goons trying to get by. Leave the poor sods alone. EDIT: Having said that if required to remove a spider I will just t*** it with a shoe.

Well, I think The Authority make the case that if you are that powerful then why the gibbering clagnuts are you dicking around saving busloads of orphans? You should be out curing malaria and corruption. You red-arsed c***. Aside: my language standards have been going downhill recently.

Planets, Space & Satellites don't exist
I think the most polite thing to do under these circumstances - and I've had a lot of training in etiquette, so I don't want any arguments - is to taser Felithvian, load him/her into a rocket, and fire him/her into the heart of the Sun.

Time-Zones Debunked
Hold on a minute. Isn't the directly observable curvature of the Earth a ****ing giveaway? The top of a mast is visible before the ship itself? Something like that. To be honest, because I'm more human sciences than physicals I'm more interested in understanding why in the name of all that's holy anyone would dress up as a cretin and pretend any of this was their real opinion. Could the OP please elucidate? That would be genuinely interesting.

The Military
Funny thing about people. It's very often the little things, isn't it? Not even just food. But a nod in the morning, or a teaspoon with the coffee. I wonder what that says about our cognition?

Indubitably. But much like Oby, we put up with it because our community is awesome at debating the bizarre ROFL. Maybe so. Maybe so.

Time-Zones Debunked
I actually believe this is trolling. But just because it's mildly interesting... The point of time zones is to provide a convention so that people in different locations can collaborate effectively. Be that militarily or in business. It doesn't actually matter what bloody time we all say it is. I can set my clock to six hours ahead right now and it won't make any goddamn difference to my routine. I work to my own deadlines. Hence for many years after GMT was introduced British towns and villages (and I'm sure elsewhere) used to run off a local time from the town clock or what have you. Only the big shipping lines and stock traders gave a monkey's burp. It's all about who you're working with and where they are. It's not a conspiracy because if it was it would be the most contemptible conspiracy since skinny jeans.

If you really want a ****ing conspiracy to decode, kindly tell me why it's impossible to go to a movie theatre without some unspeakable stinkhole using their ****ing phone!

Time-Zones Debunked
"But how can London be in the same time zone as Belfast, but not as Paris? They are hundreds of miles further away!" The time zones are a simple convention to enable easier international communication. Pull your head out of your arse, and stop wasting your time.

Behold, an arsenal of weaponry questions
My questions/answers back to you are: Q1. Why do you want dual wielding? A2. Of course there will be. Finesse is the other end of the heavy hitter arc. The two encompassing the spectrum of weapon effectiveness. Q3. Again. Why do you want dual wielding? Answer this and you'll answer your question. A4. Again. A5. Crafting is normally based on levelled skills and ingredients. Unless they put in Deity grade weapons then you'll see high level stuff. Q6. It sounds to me like you just want all weapon styles to be balanced. True? A7. Spell interruption is just part of balancing mages against people with broken bottles. You don't want spell interruptions so much as a way of biffing spellslingers before they use eldritch powers to pull your underpants up and out through your nose. Q7 <sic> Assuming A7 is correct, how else might you achieve this?

Wait, is this the respawn of obyknven following her crated dispatch to Vlad's castle on the Neva?

Superman is a good example of taking things too far. He's like a munchkin wet dream. Except for being a retard. He's the kind of person who'd set fire to their own ass while frying bacon.

What you did today
I wonder if it works the other way? Like if you imagine them dressed up as a medieval knight? Imagining people naked always feels a bit wrong to me. In a work context. Outburst of the day: "Sweet Harmony Krieg!" (I had to look it up. Not sure why the character popped into my head)

Planets, Space & Satellites don't exist
On balance I'd diagnose some kind of paranoid disorder and hope he gets professional help.
