I know what you meant, but I choose to ignore that:

"Old money" vs. "New money" is a particularly American concept, though.

Uh huh. So we're in agreement. She won't be allowed near the phone again.

I'd do something irresponsible and selfish with the money like adopt an entire orphanage. Just pissing the money away.

Please, the preferred terminology is "space opera".

Your nervous system has finite bandwidth. The extra movement and sensation signals drown out the "need to pee" signal, making it seem less urgent. It's also why we rub the area around minor injuries to relieve pain.

AFAIK California doesn't require a license for ebikes.

It is a theory to explain how genie knows about things like automobiles and 20th century movie stars. It posits that these are only anachronisms if the story is set in the past, as commonly assumed. But setting it in the far distant future eliminates the problem. It also explains the apparent "magic" in the world as remnants of a fallen high-tech civilization.

Rajah the tiger? Genetic engineered. Magic carpet? Hover tech. Buried stop signs (video game only)? Ancient relic. It's really quite surprising how well this theory fits.

Throw in the fan theory that Disney's version takes place thousands of years in the future.

They also put children on the ship, so maybe the admiralty isn't so smart.

 
 
 

An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.

"You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."

"Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."

Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.

Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"

And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"

 
 
 

Odd that they never re-filled the whale tank

 
 

It would have included loops of Star Trek sound effects, but Paramount lawyers said no.
