Noted. (...Actually, looking at the usage guides on wiktionary, even replacing "transgendered" with "transgender" in my sentence wouldn't have fully corrected it; it probably should have been "transgender people" (minus the preceding "the" of course)...)
(A bit of a heads up: it's likely I'll make similar mistakes in the future. I'm not very social, and this forum is pretty much the only community where I have a chance to talk about such things; as a result I'm a bit out of touch with the correct terminology. Please do continue to correct me, but try to be gentle. )

Had a pair of steroid injection procedures into my back last Friday at the hospital. One was into my lower right side of my back , while the other was into my sacroiliac joint (basically, my tailbone) on my left side. The latter was done to fix, believe it or not, a problem with my left leg. I couldn't lift it onto the threshold of a car in order to enter, or up onto a stool to dry it off after a shower. The pain was excruciating.
After the procedure, half my butt was numb for a day (the left half, obviously). I gave it a test the next day. Carefully, I lifted my left leg and put my foot on a chair.
No pain! None at all.
Today marks four days since the procedure, and I still don't have any pain lifting my left leg. It's almost like I never had any pain there in the first place. The story with my right side is a bit different: just a tiny amount of relief. Still, I consider the left side relief a miracle.

King George, he had a date
He was out very late
He was the King.
Queen Mary paced the floor
King George came in at four
She me-et hi-im at the door
God Save The King!

So, Ellen thought about Magus having access to millions, but she didn't say anything aloud.   Does that mean she hasn't told anyone else?  Or just doesn't want to tell Arthur Arthur?  Or was she just trying to be polite not pointing out the flaw in Arthur's optimism?

Ah, yes, "Daddy". I needed that.
Sentient, yes. Vengeful, let us hope never. We need no more bowler hats.  

I should darn well hope so. I even spent an hour and a half explaining my entire master plan to him. With charts and diagrams and everything that my five-year-old advisor had all approved. I think even Mr. Verres would have afforded me a nod of approval for all the effort I put into those charts.
The next day I learned that he had escaped my trap and thwarted my unstoppable master plan. I'm glad all that effort didn't go to waste. Especially since I had just put my monocle into place before asking my minions for their report. It takes long and hard training to properly make a monocle drop upon hearing that all one's meticulously laid plans have somehow utterly failed.

Usually, when someone stoles something he didn't earned it, but in your case I must agree you earned it.

Our saltwater aquarium at work died.
Last summer, a former employee was moving with his family to Florida, and his brother who had said he'd take the tank backed out at the last minute, so my boss agreed to let him set it up in the lobby.  It had two clown fish, on royal gramma (bright yellow one end, bright purple the other), and a bunch of rocks with live soft corals on them.  It quickly started growing an icky red algae and had various other problems.  We have a place just down the street that specializes in salt water, corals especially, and we wound up paying them to come in and get everything in order.  (Apparently the former owner was doing almost everything wrong, which does not really surprise me....)
The fish were colorful, snails and crabs provided even more critter entertainment, and I was surprised how interesting the corals could be.  One, especially, which I'd saved from falling off its rock by putting its base into a little hole on another rock, had turned out to have at least half a dozen different shapes it could take on, and I could occasionally see a tendril/frond/whatever fold in around some tasty bit of debris, and I watched it grow and thrive.  We'd recently added two peppermint shrimp to get rid of some less desirable growths, and they'd just started coming out of hiding more and doing their job.  The tank was looking really good!
Well, this morning when I came in the lights were off, but once the lights came on in the tank, first time I walked towards it I could see all the soft corals were drooping down over their rocks instead if standing up, and when I looked closer, the fish were floating at the bottom, not moving.  Even the little peppermint shrimp were lying dead.  The water felt noticably too warm, and when I floated the thermometer it was almost 100°F.  Apparently, the heater malfunctioned, and stayed on instead of switching off when it got too warm.  Our poor little fish and shrimp and crabs and snails, and all those live corals, got cooked and died in one night.

I seem to recall that the official rendition of the sound is "VWORP", due to the handbrake being left on . . .

I'd bet on the fact that when Ellen says that Nanase would demolish half the state looking for her, she's barely exaggerating, and Arthur knows it.
I don't know, but I hope it didn't bite them. Turning into a house every full moon sounds inconvenient.

Okay. I will grant that much. But next time... let's do this argument in private where we don't bother the rest of the forum with it. I will accept responsibility for that.
It's the place where we both belong, apparently.

Good point. If Arthur is using that "power to bend worlds" here he would be definitely more powerful than Magus ... also, it might explain why is Terra usually beating Magus. Assuming she's also seer of course.
... unlike just age, which may not prove that much, giving that Magus can easily have better training. Yes, after junior high BATTLE MAGIC school. Or not, of course ... we don't know much about what training Arthur got. It was just speculation that he was jealous of Edward and Noriko being trained by Adrian.
Unlike liberal art schools in our universe, battle magic school is teaching something which can be measured and I'm sure they wouldn't bother with school which is worse than being self-taught. So, Magus's claim of being better than Nanase is believable and he may even be better than older magic users with worse training in EGS universe. Hawk to mice, as Pandora said, comparing Magus to Edward and agent Wolf ...
You really like to accuse me of stuff like this.
However, I refuse to submit to your trick and I repeat that it's obvious he doesn't need to be demigod. Nor the seers are demigods - at least, they were not described that way, although you can say that any son of Zeus (formerly known as Jerry) could claim the title of demigod ...

How can you possibly get the two of them confused when Ellen has green hair?!

I really like that the first thing Susan does with her newfound comfort with physical contact to go show her appreciation for her employer. Tensaided has embraced her quirks, from segregating the Star Trek movies to using hand sanitizer immediately after shaking his hand.  He got her to do the review show with Elliot, which opened a lot of doors for her.  She's known him a lot longer than many of the Main 8 (or 9 or 12 or whatever), and it's nice to see she knows how important to her he's been!

"At least Magus is having fun."
I can sort of follow that. He has been stuck in a nonphysical dimension for years and everybody he met there treated him like a punching bag. It must feel damn good to have an opponent you can really cut loose on after that.

Yes. Hollywood History will lead a blitzkrieg, conquer almost whole world, fails to secure it's supply lines and few decades later capitulates.
Jurassic Park is less than 25 years old and people already accepted that dinosaurs should have feathers. They even acknowledged their dinosaur are not historically accurate in sequel - ON SCREEN.
Movies don't last. Even if the topic stays interesting and doesn't get outdated, the special effects certainly will, and so will the quality of material it was filmed at. Hollywood will make new version of the movie, with new stars and new effects, and it can use that opportunity to fix mistakes made in original movie, especially if people who knew better was making fun of the movie on social media.

Happy Children's Day!   On May 5 in History:   553 - The Second Council of Constantinople begins, with the goal of once and for all getting everyone on the same page about how to Christian. Predictably, it ends up doing the opposite of that.   1215 - English Barons say they don't have to do what the king says anymore. Quite sure he'd kept it a secret, King John wracks his brain wondering how they figured that out.   1260 - Kublai Khan assumes control over the Mongol Empire. What's left of it, anyway. Barely half of Asia! Pathetic. We'll have to do something about that.   1494 - Christopher Columbus lands at Jamaica. An old hand at this by now, he quickly issues orders to his crew, saying, "All right, hurry up, these people aren't going to murder and enslave themselves!"   1789 - The Estates-General in France convene for the first time in 175 years. This is good; they'll be able to talk through their problems and everything will settle down.   1821 - Death of Napoleon. Europe heaves a collective sigh of relief.   1862 - A contingent of the Mexican army defeats a much larger French force at the town of Puebla. This will be celebrated in future by Americans who know nothing of the event donning every Mexican stereotype they can think of and drinking lots of tequila. Also by Mexicans saying, "Oh yeah, that's a thing that happened."   1904 - Cy Young pitches the first perfect game in modern baseball history. If only there were some award he could be given to acknowledge his achievement.   1925 - John T. Scopes is arrested and charged with teaching science in a science class.   1961 - Alan Shepard is the first American to go to space. This was your one chance to stop us, aliens.   1983 - Henry Cavill is the first baby in history born with a computer generated upper lip.   2002 - Spider-man is the first movie to top $100 million dollars in its opening weekend. Maybe there's something to these comic book movies after all, eh?

 
Nah, I'm lucky.  Most things I want, I'm either really far from a dollar short, or really far from ever affording.

May The Fourth
Be With You

That's who I thought of, too!  Although, for me, his first video is still the best.
 

I was thinking of something more like Matt.
 
 
 

I don't draw.
Not since the incident at the OK Corral...

And he'd have been dead, along with everyone else on all three ships long before he got there.  Humanity had known about how big the Earth is since the ancient Greeks, but Columbus thought that everyone else ever had gotten it wrong, and the world was much smaller than it really was.  If it weren't for bumping into a handy continent, if it'd all been empty ocean like he expected, they'd have run out of food and fresh water in the middle of that vast ocean and died miserably.
