Wait, what?
If you smashed a flower pot over my head and asked amnesiac me to guess which one of these wicked queens is from Tarsem Singh’s take on Snow White, I would answer incorrectly.
- J: I don't know what to get an eleven-year-old for his birthday. Do boys still play with toys at that age?
- R: They play video games. They like iPads, laptops—things that are flat. They like flat stuff.
- J: His mom just emailed me back that he likes money.
- R: There you go. Money's flat.

Space Activity Suit
Since the 1960s, NASA has also investigated spacesuits that utilize mechanical pressure rather than pressurized gas to protect an astronaut. Such a “space activity suit” is essentially an allover skin-tight leotard, which would be very lightweight and provide far less impediments to motion than traditional spacesuits. As well, a small tear in the suit would only affect the area exposed by the hole rather than cause a potentially deadly decompression event. The only area of the suit that would need to be pressurized is the astronaut’s helmet.

Things to appreciate about this Abilify ad:
- The leering Microsoft Clippy eyes on the bathrobe.
- The Critic-esque character design of the mother.
- I say mother because the artwork screams “Hey, sport! Mom’s been locked in the bathroom crying, what, since you were born (give or take six weeks)? Why dontcha slip this under the door and nuke yourself a Pop-Tart, chief.”
“When there’s ’ardly no day nor ’ardly no night, there’s things ’alf in shadow and ’alfway in light.”
