Q: Looking for an Animated Children’s TV Show about Time Travel

Jack JanowitzI don’t know what channel this show was on because I had the DVDs as a child, but I know that I watched it around 2008-2009, so it would have come out a little before then, maybe 2006? The plot, as much of it as I remember, is as follows: four teens get sent back in time and are jumping from impo...

Q: Sotry or stories about a matriachic society where everybody is treated like children

j4nd3r53nI read this a long time ago, perhaps 30 years, and the story may have been older than that, in Danish.

Q: Short story about fried dinosaur being delicious

Lyndon WhiteThis was an odd one, I read a while ago in a large collection. The basic plot was that some time in the past the ability to open a portal through time was created.

Q: How big is Arrakis?

Richard CI read online that a Sandworm can grow to 450 meters long, and there are legends of worms up to 1000 meters long. The same article also stated that Sandworms are territorial and so will claim an area of dessert as there own. That got me to thinking, just how big is the planet Dune in comparison...

Q: The alien was a child who took the family ship & came to Earth

Anne HendersonThis was a short story I read. The Earth people were impressed by the alien’s technology, but it turned out that the alien was only a child and had no way to communicate anything of importance about his home planet, nor could he get home. The brand new Shaun the Sheep movie I watched last night ...

Q: Color Computer 2 Fantasy game with maze and a selection of magic and weapons

FuzzyBootsI have vague memories of a game I played on the Tandy Color Computer 2, probably around 1990 or so. The game was entirely done with line art, and involved navigating a maze that sprawled across the screen while picking up treasure and fighting monsters. The part which has stuck with me was that y...

Q: In Star Trek, why are there so many ships named Defiant?

GridAlienDefiant. That's the disambiguation page. There's 4 on that page. 4. Why does the name keep cropping up? It seems to me rather odd that there's so many of these ships, considering the wealth of names the Federation could use, and, apart from Enterprise, the rarity of seeing repeat names. (Althou...
