This reminds me of that conspiracy theorist thing where a bunch of people thought that New Zealand was, like, to the west or north of Australia (I can't quite remember), only to check on a map and see it was definitely to the east... And as such convinced themselves that they somehow travelled to an alternate version of Earth were everything was basically the same except NZ was in a new place. Anyone else remember/know about those guys? | This reminds me of that conspiracy theorist thing where a bunch of people thought that New Zealand was, like, to the west or north of Australia (I can't quite remember), only to check on a map and see it was definitely to the east...

EDIT: Found one of 'em, so hopefully I sound less crazy (than them): [http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread543455/pg1 NZ conspiracy nut in action] | EDIT: Found one of 'em, so hopefully I sound less crazy (than them): [http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread543455/pg1 NZ conspiracy nut in action] | ||

:: Honestly never heard/seen it spelled -stain. Has the pronunciation changed in this universe as well?

− | ::: | + | ::: No, pronunciation is not as simple as you believe. Do you pronounce "-stein" to rhyme with "mine" or "mean"? Do you pronounce the "s" as "sch" or just a soft english s? Which accent do you use when you pronounce it one of those ways? How much emphasis do you put on the final syllable - is it more like it rhymes with "men"? Of course the bigger lesson here is that you are simply a native of the current universe. [[Special:Contributions/108.162.250.158|108.162.250.158]] 01:04, 11 May 2016 (UTC) |
I thought Earth Prime was a reference to Sliders... but Wikipedia says it's been used much more widely.

Howard Nemerov offers this take on lobsters awaiting purchase in a supermarket: "...the beauty of strangeness marks/These creatures, who move (when they do)/With a slow, vague wavering of claws... We inlanders, buying our needful food,/Pause over these slow, gigantic spiders/ That spin not. We pause and are bemused..." From the poem "Lobsters" in "The Collected Poems of Howard Nemerov."[[User:Npsych|Npsych]] ([[User talk:Npsych|talk]]) | Howard Nemerov offers this take on lobsters awaiting purchase in a supermarket: "...the beauty of strangeness marks/These creatures, who move (when they do)/With a slow, vague wavering of claws...
