Draconic Jeopardy?
Bzzt. Thanks for playing. >:=8)

Rai informs us that all statistics have a built-in margin of error, to allow for mis-representation and it's far larger than one individual. If statistics were that easily upset, no-one would bother with something like market research, yet it continues to prove quite popular.

Movie Review
by Pyros Rutilicus (Star Wars: Attack of the Clones)

I found some of the romantic development a bit tiring, but I respect the difficulty of what Lucas had to do: make Anakin seem a potential Darth Vader while at the same time making him attractive to Amidala. Jar Jar wasn't too bad, although the audience hissed when he came on the screen. He only had a few lines and was present but quiet in a few more scenes. In general, I reacted differently to different scenes of the movie - some were slow, some were exciting, some seemed a bit cheesy, but I agree that the overall course of the movie was more adult and darker than that of Episode I. My opinion: It's worth seeing at least once, if for no other reason than for a few scenes with Yoda near the end. ]:-8)~ The audience was cheering all the way through that bit...

Editorial

Chris responded to Kitryn de Pluie on the subject of drugs in the news group:
If taking heroin turns someone into an addict and he or she can no longer go 48 hours without either getting a hit or going psycho (technical term!) it has certainly created a risk of violence to random members of the uninvolved public. Resijinth would say there was no risk until someone took away his dealer, of course, but there are other ways one could find oneself stuck nowhere with an addict and no supply.
