The world is full of interesting yearly traditions. Take for example the tomato and orange throwing events, the buffet for monkeys, and the cheese rolling festivities. With such examples of human creativity, we at Stack Overflow could not pass on this opportunity. We have created and maintained our own yearly tradition – Winter Bash!
This year we are attempting to knit our users together in our love for hats for the 7th year in a row. And this year, we’ve even added a way for you to get creative without wasting any real yarn. Starting now (December 12, 2018) and going through …
Story begins with werewolf attacking couple I think in car . One particular scene of werewolf attacking a family in their RV and eats the child . Can’t remember title or name or author . But looking for book again . Any help?
This might be a stupid question, but at the end of Captain America: Civil War we saw Bucky tell Steve that the best thing to do until "they" found a way to "get the stuff out of my head" he should go under. Then we see him put into a sort of cryosleep.
Given that he was living out of a hut when ...
A large part of the justification for Darth Vader’s redemption is his appearance as a force ghost. Even though the new movie is not released yet, would it be possible for Palpatine to appear as a force ghost or can only Jedi do this?
Is there any support in the canon books/comics for this? One t...
I'd really appreciate the help, I used to watch this as a kid and want to watch it again unfortunately I can't remember the name of the anime.
Stuff I do remember:
Aliens that look like humans aboard a ship that contains a few robots which can be controlled by humans
Queen with white hair

In the end stinger from S6E6 ("Inescapable"), Mack seems to suggest that
Not that I'm doubting it - it's just enough of a plot convenience to be true - but has any of the exposition we've seen so far explicitly confirmed this?
I'm back with yet another Doctor Who question. Can you tell that I'm totally trying to binge watch this? :)
Anyway, so I just watched Cold Blood. Poor Rory was erased. But how was the Doctor able to reach into the light, into the crack, without himself getting unwritten? Because in the Flesh and...
I'm just wondering, can i create a magnetic field that protects me from sun's radiation by using an electromagnet that is powered using an alternating current power supply?
I know this is pure weirdo but i'm just wondering because earth's magnetic field is generated by high power energy that is ...
I read a lot of questions lately about apparition vs. portkeys.
People keep talking about getting a license from the MoM to be able to apparate legally.
It seems that everyone can learn it since they are teaching it in schools.
So how do they decide who can and who can not get a license?
Is it ...
The episode "Out of Gas" tells of the recruitment of Serenity's crew via a series of flashbacks. Kaylee's roundabout route is shown;
The next two to join the crew are Hoban Washburne, an accomplished pilot who bothers Zoe for some unexplained reason, and a laid-back mechanic named Bester. On ...
Consider this following spoiler block:
It should have one paragraph, then a bulleted list with two items - just as if it were not in a quoted non-spoiler block:
The quick brown fox:
Jumped over the lazy dog
And did something else.
Or no block at all:
The quick brown fox:

Copied from Valorum's guide's question on video game identification.
We seem to have a pretty regular number of story-ID questions specifically focused on finding half-remembered Western comics.
Our top tag is story-identification (with over 10,000 questions) and we already have an excellent ...
A couple of weeks ago someone asked the same in chat, and I gave some tips (see transcript). I'll try to whip that up into a more or less clear guide below. Still in writing.
Disclaimer: all examples will be answers of mine, as obviously they're the ones I know best. Sorry if it looks like I'm s...
I haven't read many of the novels about wizards yet and would like to know who they are.
Will the re-release happen in other international markets too like India?

I read this SF story somewhere in 2000s. I believe it was in English but might have been a translation from the original work. It might have been a short story or a novella.
The story's core premise was about astronauts (crash?) landing on a planet that was inhabited solely by robots. I don't re...
I was just re-reading "The Green Leopard Plague" by Walter Jon Williams, and it made me remember that I was curious about the details of the "Lightspeed War" that is referenced a few times as part of the historical back-story of the setting.
The story mentions that billions of people died, many ...
In various incarnations of Star Trek, we observe the Federation founding and maintaining numerous colony worlds. These worlds are typically (though not exclusively) inhabited by humans, have a relatively low population (for example, New Providence had less than a thousand inhabitants), and typica...
We should be pretty liberal with creating tags for specific works of science fiction, and here's why I think so (if you don't care, skip down a bit :) )
In my opinion, a "work of fiction" is the core element of "expertise" that exists for the people supplying answers on this site. In other words...
The story is about a circus lion tamer who is injured during a performance and told he can never train again but ends up training a gorilla who in a disguise trains lions. Not sure if it was in a DC or Marvel comic but I'm leaning towards DC.
I encountered this as a book on tape in the mid 2000’s. The beaver like creature refers to the human as “man monster”.
