The modern English word "Earth" developed from a wide variety of Middle English forms, which derived from an Old English noun most often spelled eorðe. It has cognates in every Germanic language, and their proto-Germanic root has been reconstructed as *erþō. In its earliest appearances, eorðe was already being used to translate the many senses of Latin terra and Greek γῆ (gē): the ground, its soil, dry land, the human world, the surface of the world (including the sea), and the globe itself. As with Terra and Gaia, Earth was a personified goddess in Germanic paganism: the Angles were listed by Tacitus as among the devotees of Nerthus, and later Norse mythology included Jörð, a giantess often given as the mother of Thor.

Magic in DnD is described as Vancian, yet actually works via a very different method than magic in the Vance novels; in the Vance novels, people were effectively charging themselves with magical energy that was set to go off. So the limit on spells wasn't a limit on how many you could remember, but on how much energy your body could store without killing you.
Huh. A justification for (at least partially) Constitution-based magic.

Probably the same inexplicable reason that John Boyega did the film with an American accent (admittedly, he did quite a good job, unlike Craig).

In 2011, a German TV news program reporting on the killing of Osama bin Laden used a graphic of what they thought was the logo of United States counter-terrorism unit SEAL Team Six (United States Naval Special Warfare Development Group). Unfortunately, careless Googlers at the station used the logo of the Star Trek fan group Maquis Forces International SEAL Team VI instead. The logo in question includes a type II phaser pistol, a Klingon skull, and three Klingon bat'leth swords.

Though often confused -even by some medical institutions and universities-, the Caduceus Staff (the one with two snakes twisting around a stick) and the Rod of Asclepius (the one with a single snake) are different symbols with different meanings.
The former represents Hermes, Greek god of trade, messages, and a bunch of other things, and is properly used in economic-related institutions, while the second represents Asclepius, Greek god of medicine, which is the one doctors ought to employ.
Granted, Miller also believes that Bush orchestrated the 9/11 terrorist attacks, so I'd take that with a king-sized brick of salt. I doubt Bush could successfully have orchestrated a weekend barbecue, much less a massive government conspiracy.That's a lie; read Fooled Again by Mark Crispin Miller.Bush was subsequently re-elected for a second term with a popular majority.
I don't think the book gives Bush the leadership role. Rather the organising blocs behind the Republican National Convention, the same kind of conspiracy that got William McKinley elected and thought that making Teddy Roosevelt his VP would shut the latter up.

Makes me wonder how much good this thread is if we can't agree on facts. Election fraud isn't a "conspiracy theory;" it can be verified - and if one source is seen as dubious (for reasons that don't actually prove them wrong about a different topic), it isn't alone.

The first appearance of the word "nerd" in the English lexicon is in the 1950 children's book If I Ran The Zoo, by Theodor "Dr. Seuss" Geisel, appearing in the following passage:
And then, just to show them, I'll sail to Ka-Troo
And Bring Back an It-Kutch, a Preep, and a Proo,
A Nerkle, a Nerd, and a Seersucker too!
The word's first use in its modern context* dates to the following year (1951), in which Newsweek magazine reported on its popular use as a synonym for "drip" or "square" in Detroit, Michigan.
* nerd [nurd] noun, Slang.
1. a person considered to be socially awkward, boring, unstylish, etc.
2. an intelligent but single-minded person obsessed with a nonsocial hobby or pursuit: a computer nerd.

"Blinkenlights" is a hacker's neologism for diagnostic lights found on the front panels of old mainframe computers, minicomputers, many early microcomputers, and modern network hardware.
The online slang dictionary The Jargon File provides the following etymology:
This term derives from the last word of the famous blackletter-Gothic sign in mangled mock German that once graced about half the computer rooms in the English-speaking world. One version ran in its entirety as follows:
ACHTUNG!
ALLES TURISTEN UND NONTEKNISCHEN LOOKENPEEPERS!
DAS KOMPUTERMASCHINE IST NICHT FÜR DER GEFINGERPOKEN UND MITTENGRABEN! ODERWISE IST EASY TO SCHNAPPEN DER SPRINGENWERK, BLOWENFUSEN UND POPPENCORKEN MIT SPITZENSPARKEN.
IST NICHT FÜR GEWERKEN BEI DUMMKOPFEN. DER RUBBERNECKEN SIGHTSEEREN KEEPEN DAS COTTONPICKEN HÄNDER IN DAS POCKETS MUSS.
ZO RELAXEN UND WATSCHEN DER BLINKENLICHTEN.
This silliness dates back to least as far as 1955 at IBM and had already gone international by the early 1960s, when it was reported at the University of London's ATLAS computing site. There are several variants of it in circulation, some of which actually do end with the word "blinkenlights."
The Jargon File also mentions that German hackers have developed their own versions of the blinkenlights poster, in fractured English:
ATTENTION
This room is fullfilled mit special electronische equippment.
Fingergrabbing and pressing the cnoeppkes from the computers is allowed for die experts only!
So all the “lefthanders” stay away and do not disturben the brainstorming von here working intelligencies.
Otherwise you will be out thrown and kicked anderswhere!
Also: please keep still and only watchen astaunished the blinkenlights.

On a 1999 episode of TV series 3rd Rock From The Sun entitled "Dick's Big Giant Headache, part 1," series protagonist Dick Solomon (John Lithgow) meets the character Big Giant Head (William Shatner) at the airport. During the scene, Big Giant Head mentions "seeing something on the wing of the plane," to which Dick replies, "the same thing happened to me!" This is a reference to the fact that both Shatner and Lithgow played variations on the same character in the 1963 Twilight Zone episode "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet," and the "Nightmare At 20,000 Feet" segment of the 1983 film The Twilight Zone: The Movie, respectively.
Similar fanservice in-joke in the pilot eposide of the 1980s Buck Rogers TV show -- Gil Gerard, playing the main character who has been frozen for 500 years, meets an old-time pilot who makes some comment about comparative ages; they go back and forth a bit. The old-timer was played by Buster Crabbe, who portrayed Buck Rogers in the late '30s.

The common idiom "lock and load" originated in American English, supposedly as an instructional command to prepare an M1 Garand, the main rifle used during World War II, for battle, though it is disputed if the phrase was actually used this early. The first documented use of the phrase "lock and load" was a line of dialog uttered by John Stryker (John Wayne) in the 1949 war film Sands of Iwo Jima.
The most likely theory of the origin of the phrase connects this order to the operation of the M1 Garand rifle. Before loading the ammunition clip into the rifle, the operating rod handle is pulled to the rear until the bolt is securely locked open. According to the M1 Garand Manual, loading the clip without first locking the bolt could result in an accidental discharge of a round.
An alternate theory involves the transposition of "load and lock" - to load the ammunition clip into the rifle, then to lock the bolt forward (which forces a round into the chamber, readying a rifle for firing). This order is notably featured in the 2010 HBO miniseries The Pacific.

The word "Japan" is an exonym, and is used (in one form or another) by a large number of languages. The Japanese names for Japan are Nippon (にっぽん) and Nihon (にほん). They are both written in Japanese using the kanji 日本.
The English word "Japan" has a circuitous derivation; but linguists believe it derives in part from the Portuguese recording of the early Mandarin Chinese or Wu Chinese word for Japan: "Cipan" (日本), which is rendered in pinyin as "Rìběn," and literally translates to "sun origin".

A new set of Starfleet uniforms was intended to be introduced in the 1994 film Star Trek Generations, to be worn by the Enterprise-D crew. These new uniforms would have been similar to the television ones, except the collars would have been the same department color as the rest of the tunic and the rank pips would have been worn on the shoulder with a corresponding rank braid on the wrists. The uniforms were eventually nixed by producer Rick Berman.
The decision was then made to use both the uniforms from Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) as well as the uniforms from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993). However, toy company Playmates had already made an action figure line for the film with the Enterprise-D crew wearing the aborted uniforms. It was too late to retract the figures, which is the only place the aborted uniforms can be seen.
Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner were the only cast members to have custom "color-top" uniforms (as used in seasons 1-5 of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and later on in Star Trek: Voyager (1995)) made for use in the film. Jonathan Frakes had to borrow Avery Brooks' uniform and LeVar Burton had to borrow Colm Meaney's uniform from Deep Space Nine (Meaney having also appeared on The Next Generation), neither of which fit the actors very well (Frakes had to roll up the sleeves and Burton's was obviously too big for him).

007 James Bond actor Daniel Craig is a huge science fiction fan, in particular the television series Firefly, Doctor Who, and especially Star Trek. A self-described "old-hand Trekkie," Craig auditioned for the role of Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in director J.J. Abrams' 2009 Star Trek film reboot, but lost out to Hot Fuzz actor Simon Pegg.the latter allows me to forgive the former.Craig is also a fan of the Star Wars films, and after pleading with J.J. Abrams, got to portray an unnamed First Order stormtrooper (a fairly extensive cameo, but uncredited) in 2015's Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.
