        Amusingly, both my favourite boat and favourite plane lists tend to focus on multiple hulls (or pontoons, in the case of planes). -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 22:12 1
        
        Although now that I think about it, Baloo's plane is technically only a monohull. It just has a twin tail. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 22:17

- So, in order to make a statement, they went away from Emma Stone as well...who also starred in a female strength movie this year to boot? - Will Hunting Mar 3, 19:09 4
  - If only she was a woman as well.. - Marlowe Mar 3, 21:14

- nova would be atlantic salmon and not smoked, I think they are just salt cured -- (link) - zeitgeist Mar 3, 16:42 2

I hadn't heard before that Stoneman Douglas is known for their broadcast journalism program. Many of the student activists are reporters. - GregW Mar 3, 12:08 1

  - I dunno, I liked the first PR and I’d be tempted to see RP1 instead of PR2, given the choice. - Beryllium Mar 3, 12:38
  - I'm sure some folks saw The Mod Squad instead of The Matrix back in 1999, too. -- nm - David Mar 3, 11:57
- That seems fair. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 3, 11:41
Hmm. -- (link) - Beryllium Mar 3, 11:37

- Ken Jennings once said “what be Ebonics?” -- nm - Tim Mar 3, 12:43
- I never quite got the point of that concept - Guigue Mar 3, 11:44 2

  - although that would be hilarious. -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 11:48
- You're allowed to use "Is it...?" -- nm - Reagen Mar 3, 11:37 2
