One of the problems in this forum (but not in this thread) are people are just to literal. Now, for those of you who don't know, the designation for a twin P-51 was a P-251. I read it in the National Enquirer
They deserve a Pulitzer for that reporting.

They can not possibly be right. This is P-251 and it sure isn't a two-seater.

Indeed.

I would rather ponder on how it is that the magical slippers remain when the spell is broken.

Wasn't it because the dress, the carriage, the horses etc were all turned into something (from something else) but the shoes, which were an after thought by the fairy godmother, just appeared when she waved her wand i.e. they had nothing to turn back into.

These are really important, scientific questions so keep 'em coming

Not at all. Just take a look in the WITP:AE forum and you will find one.

Ponderous gorns, not so difficult, but I pride myself on only being semi-ponderous.

Same family as the griffin and unicorn...

or a human in a rubber suit. Depends on how you look at it.

I hadn't seen the second Star Trek reboot movie until last weekend. I only watched it because my SO's law partner wants to see the 3rd one this weekend. I thought the 1st reboot movie was pretty bad, and the 2nd one was worse than Star Trek the Motion Picture. However I noted McCoy at one point said he performed a c-section on a Gorn once. I wonder how they knew about the Gorn in the reboot timeline because the Federation only encountered them once in the original timeline. The Gorn never appeared in any of the follow on ST series. They weren't even mentioned after the one program for the original series, I don't think.
