They aren't scientists, they're the new priesthood wearing stolen lab coats.

After all, a priest is nothing more than a guy delivering a given narrative ...

Not a Japanese show as far as I know, but there was some old Saturday Morning cartoon in the late 70s or early 80s I think, that featured a family of generic superheroes with your standard "secret identities". The thing is, the only thing they changed about themselves was their clothes; they didn't even wear masks. Their friends must have been very dumb, even in a world where people only own one set of clothing ....

Yeah, that's why she was looking for the damn things in the first place, when she first meets Goku in the woods. She wanted to wish for the best boyfriend ever .....

Dragon Balls or not, she seems to have gotten it granted.

This ... trope/urban legend ... goes all the way back at least to the 1970s; in the older version of it, LSD was usually involved.

In this case .. well .. they're black.

Jews didn't invent migration. Nor did they invent following herds around the landscape.

I like my stories and documentaries to be as long as they need to be. Seems like interviews benefit, too - some jackass was complaining about how the interview was "unfiltered", and how that would "kill democracy".

I don't think anyone would cry if he should just quietly vanish.

Does Kentucky still have any bears?

Authorities don't need to be naturally omnipotent when they have technology to help do that for them.

After all, the whole point of technology is to help overcome your (species') own natural limitations ...
