Or Tales from the Darkside: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mioevxb2CfA

I know it's not the same font, but the freaking intro is basically Stranger Things.

Or how about James Cameron's Terminator? Outlines of the text zoomed in and passing through each other, eventually zooming out and showing the title? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAJr5cp01mI#t=74s

Your video, How 'Stranger Things' Nailed The Perfect '80s Title Sequence, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Sorry, I don't speaks no langijizz. ;-)
No, again, I don't expect, or even want her to drop out. I don't know what gave that impression. I expect, and want, a reasoned debate about which is better, and which is more likely to win. There may be some unknown on either side that would change minds if they discuss it rationally.
Bernie has continued to say often that he's going to the convention and not dropping out, even if Clinton locks it up. I don't think he's planning on pulling out, but yes, stranger things have happened. Wait until >3 days AFTER that day to ask his supporters to vote for Clinton would be my suggestion.
He has been far more successful than anyone expected 9 months ago, and she's been far less successful. Yes. ;-)

Well, i suppose it could be legit, with a bazillion CS-matches every second, I suppose stranger things could happen.

I like the idea of this survey, but the description mixes two different topics. The theory of natural selection and evolution have nothing to do with the origins of life on earth (the prevalent scientific theory belongs to abiogenesis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abiogenesis). I believe this may be what gwiz touched on, in that numbers 2 and 4 also refer to evolution.
Perhaps we could ask a survey that asks about the origin of life on earth? Selections could include:
1) Creationism
2) Deism (Clockwork Universe Theory)
3) Abiogenesis
4) Panspermia Hypothesis
The Gallup poll to which you refer did not focus on the origins of life, rather how life has changed (or not changed) in our recent biological history. I doubt you meant that aliens have changed life since it first began, which is why I believe two different ideas are mixed here.


Your right, I did mix it up a bit. I tried to even it out a bit in a quick edit maybe 10 minutes afterwards when I fully re-read it (and the realization that it was slanted hit me; I also tried to make the religious stances sound more equalized--hard to do without evidence...). But, really I had it up for too long so I just left it be; or at the least I thought it was too long. I figured everyone would gather what there was to choose from and what I meant whether I made some mistakes or not. Even in my description of Evolution I made sure to make people realize that Darwin's old natural selection isn't the "exact" primer for everything in biology although a strong one. We've found much to our surprise that stranger things are going on in the lands of "Evolution" and natural selection, survival of the fittest, and other old adages taught in school as the MOST of the only things driving Evolution for the most part may be a little off--not completely--just that the window to our knowledge IS NOT closed and our horizons are broader than once thought thanks to modern scientists re-tooling their devices and machines to once again have a more thorough and "re-tooling" our look at Evolution for a harder "inside look" as well. It's more like an onion now with layers that peel off; each time you peel off one there's another ready to be peeled off... (I'll make sure I didn't get that confused in the poll, somewhere...)

As for choices two and four... I was also concerned that they both had Evolution (especially choice four as I listed it DIRECTLY, even though technically an Alien intelligence is bound to believe, perhaps, in fourteen different reasons for their existence and ours as well...so I may have "jumped the shark" so to say on that one altogether) as a primary tool in them as well as it really didn't differentiate them that much from straight up Evolution (and it did in fact make Evolution seem like the clear choice in many respects, unless you are a STOUT believer of the other two--no case was made for them). Your selection of choices certainly would have worked as well (though to be honest I think many would need to go to Wikipedia before they picked it ), but I did want to try to remain close to the Gallup Poll (as you discussed later) and you're correct in that I should have stayed away from the Evolution subject on those and focused on what their key beliefs, politics (if any), key ideas, and as I said earlier perhaps to even make a case for them--as much could be made. (That goes for @gwiz665s comment too as well, as you said; his comment noted the same discrepancy...) These are things to make sure I do on my next poll; but, I think everyone can make it through this one OK for now.

C'est la vie.

PS- My shift keys are broken and it's DRIVING me nuts. If it seems like I'm randomly not capitalizing letters that should be, that's why! Good thing I'm proof-reading right now or I would have had 10 or so just in this post alone!

Wow. What kind of coincidence is that? There are several stroboprop videos out there-Stranger things have happened-

The stranger thing about this is that he "confronts" his girlfriend about missing food. Makes them sound like bitter roommates.

I believe I just voted for Bette Midler. Oh well, stranger things have happened. My whole image of her changed when I heard this duet with Tom Waits...

this was actually my favourite game for a long long time, mainly because I couldn't get it, because I had a BBC Micro and it was only on C64. I even wrote to the publisher to beg them to port it. I can't remember why I liked it, I just liked it. Stranger things have happened.

It's definitely a 4-cylinder engine in the Honda, and its not unheard of those to go over 500bhp with extensive internal rework and a big turbo. NOS could factor into the equation, too. Keep in mind the CRX is a hell of a lot lighter than the Lambo, so the engine has less weight to pull. From a dead stop the Lambo probably would've won, due to RWD's natural advantage launching. On the highway, though, stranger things have happened.

A CRX could be tuned up to that level for well under 20k. I'd still rather have the Lambo, as long as someone else is footing the bill, but you've got to appreciate bang for buck.

dag (and Lucky) - sweet. as for default image, I'd be happy to dig something up - should I post the Wigmeter to Flickr? http://picasaweb.google.com/krupix/Wigmeter/photo#4958507787600789522

I can find stranger things if necessary.

sfjocko - thanks for reading and ... being glad to not be me.

As long as someone finds some perverse joy in not suffering like I am, it's all worth it.

That, and passing. As long as I pass, it's *also* all worth it... too bad I have to wait until November for results. But first, two more days of writing to go - huzzah! Time to go to sleep before midnight for once...

[Note: the title of the blog (ACS) was inspired by my niece - that's what she thought "Accounting School" was... so it's like an eternal tribute to her. ]

1. stranger things have happened
2. I clearly declared my standard above
3. according to Youtube comments, they survived (go asbestos suits!)
