  - Is it possible to have anachronisms in a book set in the future? -- nm - Ender Apr 26, 18:41 2
    - I never said my writing was Best Seller list worthy. My point is still the same. -- nm - Max Apr 26, 18:42
    - I think anachronism can be either past or future. -- nm - loosilu Apr 26, 18:42
  - I know this will horrify a lot of fans, but I always picture Katniss as a surly Kristen Stewart. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 26, 18:32 4
    - which is why putting her in a dress is even more ridiculous than written. -- nm - Max Apr 26, 18:41

    - That goes without saying. -- nm - Mop Apr 26, 17:09
    - CGI Charles Bronson : ) -- nm - peglegpete Apr 26, 17:04
    - Shô Kosugi !! -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 17:03

Tonight's Cubs' and Sox' games will be amongst the least important ever. ;) - the liioulu with Apr 26, 16:26

  - even with replay wouldn't have mattered. the whistle killed the play regardless -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 16:23 1
    - I suppose you're right. They can't use replay to determine what would have happened *if* a whistle wasn't blown. I only got a brief look via Vs. Did - bc/nc Apr 26, 16:26
- It's the only possible explanation for a quick whistle. Those never happen! -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 16:20 3
  - I get a quick whistle. But when the puck is sitting untouched in the crease...we'll see how the rest of the game goes. -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 16:23 1
    - (and I don't really think the refs would do that on purpose, just venting. After all it's not the NBA.) -- nm - Beaker Apr 26, 16:24
  - Yeah I don't think it's a conspiracy but it suuuuucks -- nm - Guigue Apr 26, 16:20
