I thought the story was written by Trudi Canavan, but apparently I was wrong.
It was a book or maybe a series of book. I think I’ve read it 5-15 years ago in Germany. Not sure when it might have been published. Not sure whether I read it in English or in German.
The story was about a girl (or ...
I think I read this story in an issue of Analog from sometime in the late 1980s/early 1990s. English language. I don't think I recognized the author's name from any books I had read at the time, but I don't recall any more than that (not even whether the author seemed to be male or female). I hav...
Unlike a bunch of the other people on the internet that got angry at The Last Jedi for handling certain characters poorly and throwing out interesting storyline and still others calling out "SJW" on it, I only got sad at The Last Jedi, not angry at it. Why? Because I thought the bad guys won and ...
In I Kill Giants the main character (literally) blacks out things that she doesn't want to hear which is, presumably, anything about
I can make out "Your Mother" in at least one of the panels but the others are a complete mystery.
Is there any official confirmation what's behind the block...
It's from Justice League: Crisis on Two Earths. Here's the quote:
Flash: How are we supposed to get inside again?
Lex Luthor: Multi-frequency band, encryption analyzer-replicator pack.
Flash: Some of us don't speak Star Trek.
Lex Luthor: Think of it as a fancy garage-door opene...
This question could apply to any superhero who can turn into animals, although the only ones who come to mind are Beast Boy and the woman from the Wonder Twins. To avoid making the question too broad, I will focus on Beast Boy.
He can turn into animals. People are animals. So can he turn into ot...
There not much I could do for research on this, but it is a rather simple question with possibly a complicated answer.
In Justice league Victor Stone (Cyborg) shoots a missile out of his arm that is constructed from the material that he is made of. Now considering that he is a Cyborg this is ent...
The DC Animated Universe includes a crossover episode between Static Shock and The New Batman Adventures called "Hard as Nails" that includes this dialogue:
Static: So where's Robin?
Batman: With the Titans.
Static: The who?
Batman: You'll meet them someday.
I assume that Batman is re...
In DCAU (DC Animated Universe), Dick Grayson was much taller and older when he left Batman and Tim Drake went crazy when The Joker kidnapped him, so is the Teen Titans Robin a third Robin?
I'm looking for a comic book on Donald Duck.
The general plot is that Donald wants to bake something (I think it had chocolate in it?), it's like a gift for Valentine's or something similar. But, because he his baking multiple quantities (4x) of the same thing, he quadruples quantities, time an...
It is well known that George has drawn a lot of inspiration from British history. For example;
The War of the Five Kings draws heavily on The War of the Roses and George has even stated he is heavily influenced by this.
Houses Stark and Lannister are often compared to York and Lancaster.
The...
I was suddenly struck with a memory of a Bugs Bunny book I read as a child (I probably read it in the 1980 to 1990 time frame, but I'm pretty sure it was a book that had been in the house for longer than that). Bugs had a machine that had a crank on the side, and turning the crank generated carro...
Pretty much the same question than Are the Donald Duck comics on-topic?, although different characters, as so far, it doesn't seem we discussed either Bugs Bunny or the Looney Tunes on Meta. We have three looney-tunes questions but two are about Marvin (deffo on-topic), another is Bugs Bunny pict...

I'm looking for an old comic with Scrooge McDuck I think, or maybe Donald Duck. I read it in French was I was young (late 80s or beginning of the 90s).
He is facing a chess player, some kind of gigantic mountain man, with a big beard. This man always wins
In first grade (it was definitely in 2010 or 2011), I remember playing some sort of two-dimensional autorunner-platformer game where you play as a brain with legs on an obstacle course.
The background was blue/light purple, while the objects in the foreground were all solid black. I think the b...
Obviously Autobots, and Decepticons have never been on earth, only Optimus Prime been to earth, ontop of this only Optimus Prime has the ability to travel long distance through space without a spaceship, So that's error number two, Bumblebee lands on earth With Car Wheels on it's back, common peo...
Did Tatooine ever have a Senator in the Imperial or New Republic Senates (Canon or Legends)?
I know that they didn't have a Republic Senator due to it being in Hutt space, but in Kenobi there is an Imperial garrison there, so I wasn't certain if it had a governor or senator.
It's been a while since I've read the first Harry Potter book but I can't help but notice that it is generally accepted that the DADA job is cursed and no teacher lasts longer than one year. In fact, Dumbledore confirms that in The Half-Blood Prince when viewing the memory of Tom Riddle asking fo...
Is there a way to prove that detecting computer virus is decidable, the prove may be theoretical also
The question https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/posts/4539/revisions was closed as a duplicate of https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/posts/4529/revisions. Given that the second question was at the time merged into the first one, this effectively made the question closed as a duplicate of ...
When I was 13 (in the late 70s) I stayed with my aunt and uncle for a few weeks. One day on the tv there was a black and white scifi movie.
The only thing I remember about this movie is a scene of an alien landscape with a large sphere. The sphere then opens up - almost like an orange - and the ...
Near the beginning of Doctor Who Series 5 Episode 5, "Flesh and Stone", the Doctor and co are standing in a corridor being pursued by Weeping Angels, and he needs to turn off the lights in order to get them to the next stage. Father Octavian says:
Combat distance, ten feet. As soon as the lig...
I'm reaching out to see if the community can help identify a book (or series of books) from my childhood in the 80s.
To the best of my recollection, the stories were about a family of vampires - but they may have been nonspecific "monsters."
I believe one among them was considered very handsome...
I noticed that I can only perform certain actions such as commenting a finite number of times in a given period of time. Obviously, rate limiting is in place to prevent accidental misuse or intentional abuse of certain features.
Where else is rate limiting applied on Stack Exchange sites, and wh...
Mr. Oreo, who was the model for Rocket Raccoon has passed away at the age of 10.
I remember reading a SciFi book as a child! It involved a man and a woman, possibly a couple traveling across different planets in a three seater cycle along with their pet dog!
Somewhere between April 21, 2016, and late August, 2017
Throughout the movie, there are several elements that can be dated. Some of them definite (give or take a week), some of them speculate a bit. But here goes, by order of appearance. (which is also the order of interestingness - but if you o...
