Q: Desperately looking to find a sci fi book

EmbertBack in the 1990’s, I read a french novel that blew me away… but I cannot recall its name nor its author. From what I remember : the world (France) was on the brink of political chaos. Extremisms were here : riots… Some people could go into a game through VR technologies. And if I’m correct, at s...

Q: Scientists send a nuclear bomb to Mars (to study the plume by spectroscopy) but destroy the unique martian populated area

Franck SelsisI used to believe that this story was part of The Martian Chronicles but it is not. I would love to find the author/title. Sounds a bit like Fredric Brown's ideas.

Q: What’s the name of the anime where an mc saves an elf?

dannyI remember seeing this snippet of an anime where a character or the mc saves an elf from this old fat man and when she’s free she cries and hugs the guy. I remember it looking like it was a medieval magic genre.

@Marvin ah, yes, that unique plot device that is only used in one place ever

Q: Story about a woman who sells supplies to people in other worldlines

UnknownOrbitsIt was a short story, most likely in a 1950s magazine. In it, survivors of a nuclear war are building a spaceship to leave the planet, and their only source of good supplies is an old woman who drives her truck from our worldline to theirs. I remember one guy tries to hide in her truck, but when ...

Q: Why didn't Anakin keep Count Dooku's lightsaber?

Mahmoud SalaheddineI got this question after watching some cutscenes from Lego Star Wars: The Skywalkers Saga Anakin just killed Dooku, and Grievous walked in, (unlike the movie) and the duo of Kenobi & Skywalker assume a fighting pose, with Anakin holding Dooku's saber. Why didn't this happen in the original movie...

Is Frankenstein in a sleeping bag?
Or are we being pedantic, and only the "It's Alive" one counts...

The existence of a website explaining XKCD cartoons.is the epitome of pedantry.
Not that I'm in any position to knock pedantry. I got a little thrill being able to use "epitome".
@Randal'Thor was Jenayah ever swapped back out?
@Spencer we don't have a back up of Jenayah

Q: Are the Unforgivable Curses 'Unforgivable' outside of Britain's magic community?

Nu'DaqB. Crouch Jr, while posing as Mad-Eye Moody, tells his DADA students that using any of the 'Unforgivable Curses' on a human being in Britain is punishable by life in Azkaban- do the wizard/witch populations in other countries have a similar stance?

Q: Looking for a horror movie with a Wheelchair on fire

Bingo MehndraI am not sure if my question can fit in the horror-fantasy genre. I remember seeing a horror movie at the theater in the early 80s. It was in English and in color. The only scene that I remember, I believe it was at the end. It was a night scene where an evil shape was sitting in a wheelchair on ...

Q: Visitor learns news-telling profession to warn planet of impending disaster

PotatoCrispAfter seeing the trailer for the new film 'Don't Look Up' I was reminded of this short story I read many years ago (1980s?) Astronomers realize some cosmic disaster is going to hit an inhabited planet. The disaster is something like a solar flare event, still a few years off. They haven't contact...
