Q: Any surviving green eyed Kaminoans in Star Wars Canon?

Tyler McI read in Star Wars that the species known as the Kaminoans created a caste system based on eye-color. At the bottom of this system were those born with green eyes who were viewed as such a threat to Kaminoan society that they were killed shortly after being born. What I want to know is if there ...

GravemindJust wondering - Forerunners were so advanced race, but they did not widely developed any robots or drones to fight against flood. Ok, they have drones and sentinels they use to contaminate flood outbreaks on the rings, but why they used actual soldiers to fight flood at first place? Isn’t it wou...

@Marvin Damn, I knew that one. Late to the party.
 
@Randal'Thor The author of the book does MtG art I like
 
I actually have the tie-in book (Spiderwick's Field Guide to Magical Creatures) without ever having read the main series.
Just because the idea of a detailed illustrated field guide to magical creatures really appealed to me.
 
@Randal'Thor hah nice
 
Like the answerer here, I also watched the film version, which is how I recognise the plot elements in that question.
 
@Randal'Thor Its the reason I got myself the Avatar Field Guide (the James Cameron movie)
 
12:14 PM
Oh nice!
The best thing is when they include fictional taxonomy for fictional creatures.
It's a niche interest, sure, but I'm interested in real-world animal taxonomy and in good worldbuilding, so ... :-P
 
@Randal'Thor likewise

Q: On which planets is C-3PO knowledgeable about time manipulation and teleportation?

Ben MurphyIn A New Hope, Luke and C-3PO have this exchange: C-3PO: “Is there anything I might do to help?” Luke: “No, not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest, or teleport me off this rock.” C-3PO: “I don’t think so, sir. I’m only a droid, and not very knowledgeable about such things. Not on th...

Q: Did H.G. Wells invent the idea of Martian intelligence surpassing Earthly intelligence?

James JenkinsIn the opening lines of The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells (1898) is the sentence. Yet so vain is man, and so blinded by his vanity, that no writer, up to the very end of the nineteenth century, expressed any idea that intelligent life might have developed there far, or indeed at all, beyond i...

Q: What does "Öl" mean near the bath building?

AllerleirauhIn the German version of the anime "Spirited Away", when Chihiro first sees the building where the ghosts go to bathe, the signs in Japanese (at the red tower and the flag) are translated as "Öl" (oil).

Q: Is there still a place for human religions in the Halo universe?

GravemindCovenant, though they were a very developed civilisation, still greatly relied on religion. What about humanity? They were losing the Human-Covenant war, so it seems quite obvious that UNSC will need some sort of encouraging idea to unite mankind. Is there still a place for human religions in the...

Q: Porn parody of Lord of the Rings where the protagonist is from a Hobbit parody race that will "try anything"

FuzzyBootsWhen I was in grad school (around 2006-2007 in Pittsburgh, PA), someone in my social group (that I have since lost touch with) was discussing watching a porn parody film of Lord of the Rings where the female protagonist came from a race analogous to hobbits, but with a name like "Trybits" or "Tri...

Q: Can the story-identification tag be used for questions asking for movie identification?

Q: Up-votes percentage

aminabzzI want to suggest a feature to come to StackExchange. I have seen this feature in Reddit for example. They have both the post score (difference of up-votes and down-votes) and up-votes percentage (for example, the post is 70% upvoted). With this new feature, all users can calculate the number of ...

Fun fact: the "most controversial" (most upvotes AND downvotes) post on the network, outside of SO, MSO, and MSE, is this question on SFF.
 
What do you do when arguing on a meta site isn't fruitful? You try on a totally unrelated meta site.
(Preferably pretending like you didn't even notice the previous discussion you actually took part in.)

Q: A movie about a terrorist

One of his announcements was that he wanted to destroy a plane in New York sky; he announced it with a...

Q: Soviet POV story where Lamarkian genetics is true?

dude1818Not much more to add, unfortunately. Only thing I can remember about this story is that is was told from a Soviet POV about some scientific endeavor in genetics, possibly Lysenkoism-based. The "speculative history" part of this was that Lamarckian genetics was correct, not Mendelian. The American...

How can they tell I got a downvote, other than comparing the vote rating over time? Is there a button somewhere I can't find or is it just because it is my question? Perhaps I c...
