Thus causing millions of people to get more exercise by taking the stairs, instead. Brilliant!

So our Nanase has learned to act! Or, pretend to act... or role-play that she's pretending to act... or...  I'm confused.

I'd rather have actual news, which may be why I listen to BBC news on Public Radio a lot.

It will probably be under "Engineering".  To explain why so much of the project is "classified", it will be underwritten by a grant from a government department like. Defence, Homeland Security, Justice, Energy, or Agriculture.
 

I see Arthur setting down the report, dialing the phone, and asking "Edward?  Do you know any young people who are not ridiculously overpowered?"
 

That does seem like a big  unintended consequence.
But I have seen enough policies, court orders and laws get pushed through where the most notable effect  (intended or otherwise) isn't obvious until after the ink dries.

I have a feeling that the Immortals are less than 100% free to rewrite their laws any way they like - that there are some constraints they can't violate, or maybe they can violate a little bit over on this edge if they are careful to stay sufficiently clear of that edge over there.
And that the "can't go through walls" is a side effect which they discovered after agreeing to new rules.

Small political donations have the effect of making voter fell invested in a candidate, or so I'm told. If so, even a politician who doesn't need money would be wise to solicit them.

A gentlebeings agreement that kills you if you violate it.*
"Hell of a club we joined here, isn't it?"
"Yes, I hear old Skip Johnson got iced for an insufficient tip."
"Well, we can't leave just anyone join!"
 
*For various degrees of 'killed'.

Throw lots of darts, . . . then paint the target . . .

No. Due to security requirements, The DoD soup is required to include numbers and symbols to meet its cryptologic standards. However, the new digital soup only needs Is and Os.

Parents can. I may have caused a few myself.

Time skip?
Isn't that a child's game on Gallifrey?
 

"We have good new, and bad news. We were too late to save Mirabel, but she was delicious and we saved you some."

And there is a slight chance Hemmingway may have been drunk at the time.
 

I feel sorry for their gym teacher, so many world-class athletes in their school and not a single team player.

Comic for Wednesday, November 30, 2022
"I am the very model of a crazy individual,
 I rant, but to myself, of things that are quite trivial,
 I stew in all my anger 'cause I do not see another way,
 When I find my nemesis I'm surely gonna make him pay,
 The very thought of seeing him just makes me want to seethe inside,
 Earlier we met up, then I made him run away and hide,
 We'll meet up and I'll ask him if he thinks that he is eating well,
 He'll say, "Yes, I ate a prize winning chicken named Mirabel.",
 But when it comes right down to it, the reason for this folderall
 is, I am the very model of a crazy individual." - Diane
 
"I certify this to be true (maybe not the Mirabel part)." - Noah

Earth Men can not produce offspring with Macaques, Mastodons, Mynah Birds, Mosquitoes, Mantas, Mosses, Measles, or Maple Trees.  Although some have tried.
If, as expected, Earth Men and all these other life forms are descended from a single evolutionary ancestor, then the Men would be far more genetically compatible with these than with any life form that developed from an ancient ancestor on another planet.
Therefore, without god level magic and / or technology (or an almost infinitely improbable intermediate ancestor) there should be no way for Men to reproduce with a life form not native to Earth.
Thus, we need to invoke the Alienthropic Principle.  An Alien-Human hybrid can only exist on a world where an Alien-Human hybrid can exist.

This is especially true for chickens. They don't go far at all. But most birds do, so I guess the saying is actually about chickens?
Chickens are not the worst fliers, they sort of glide a little, not in a particularly meaningful way; maybe near the top of the heap of non-flying birds. Do roosters fly up to stand on fence posts when they crow?
 
It is maybe odd that this aspect of Nanase being analytical too Ellen by surprise. They've solved mysteries together, so presumably Ellen would have seen this before.
Didn't think she'd be comfortable bringing it to the table, maybe?
 
For that, they need to run around while being chased, while the background music plays.
 

But if you go carrying pictures of Chairman Mao
You ain't going to make it with anyone anyhow

You say you want a resolution?  Well, you know . . .
We all want to change the world.

Well, yeah.  Of course the road to Damascus is mined and has check points on it today.

[Potentially Noah's train of thought]: She said "Grar". She must be a monster, and I must kill her.
