Q: Under the immense, starred roof

ApollyonThe following sentence is taken from Apponitment with Love by Sulamith Ish-kishor. It's a reference to Grand Central Station. I'm wondering why the roof is described as "starred." What does it mean? Under the immense, starred roof, people were walking fast, like threads of color being woven into...

TIL you can actually visit Batman.

In 1564 you could get awarded an MA for accompanying the Queen to Cambridge University as a bodyguard. @Randal'Thor Do you need a bodyguard? I have a brown belt (2nd kyu) in karate.

@Tsundoku I'm not a royal family member ;-) The Cambridge MA is a meaningless degree anyway: it just means you got a BA then waited a few years and sent some money to the university.

Inspired by rpg.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/12323/… I decided to check if Google finds the wrong parts of our answers, and the first I checked... uh, yeah
Our result for "does winston die 1984"
Have you ever seen the film Brazil? After watching the ending of that film, the idea that Winston dies at the end of Nineteen Eighty-Four no longer seems so strange.
No, but I haven't seen most movies
In any case the way that answer supports its points is sorely lacking

@Mithical There's an email address field on the submission form--do I need to use a real email address, or can I just put a fake one?
I don't think it matters
