My last thread

@Gargantua:

Considered the population was sub 100; and assuming 50% female and 50% male.  They sent 10% of their citizens off to the war effort!

That’s a big deal!

Hey, NYC was ready to secede if circumstances changed, it was home to opportunistic copperheads wanting to trade with the CSA and angry immigrants resenting the draft. Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island would have formed “tri-isle” city.

There’s a Confederate soldier still holding out somewhere in the Everglades.

Or was I watching Deputy Dawg?

Evening Herr KaLeun. I too have always been surprised that this charge was the last large scale one, but it is how I remember it.
Just to be sure, I did google last  British cavalry charge and found and read of the one you mention about an hour ago!

@frimmel:

I think the movie is likely to be feminist pandering. Jermo hit on the essential message –  people mess things up. I don’t see how they would ever let that through in a film. A simple one like a woman’s beauty is useless in a world without men will never make into the film.

While I would hope it would, and we might see enough folks ready for a shift in their woman good, man bad world view I’m not optimistic and fear the film would just be the women even more genius and badass taking care of a even more hapless, dweebish Yorrick. I can’t see them really embracing anything from the tale other than the story of a dweeb with survivor guilt who needs taken care of and saved.

Why did Yorrick survive the plague? Because he was too stupid to keep from getting sh*t on. I don’t see how Hollywood getting anything but women good-men bad from that.

Y does have messages about equality and a sense that men matter in the world but I don’t see Hollywood doing anything with this other than asking, “Who needs men?” And answering “No one.”

I’m sorry to say but I fear you might be right.  I’m glad I own the novels and had a look into the true version before Hollywood corupts it.

@Adonai:

Umm… how can you research mathematics? I understand with physics, but otherwise…?

You research it through trial and error, creation of hypothesis, theories, and finally through the creation of codified laws.  It’s just like any other scientifical field, except Mathmatics is almost always 100% right, or 100% wrong.

Steve Vai is an awesome guitarist.  I especially like the way he played Bethovens 5th symphony……rock style.  :wink:
