I don't think one is necessarily better than the other. Both can be amazing outlets for creativity and style. I think that the fundamental difference is in perspective. Steampunk is looking backwards and innovating in a cool way. I can totally see the Dicken's Faire crowd jumping into this...

Perhaps they will also use the wayback machine to sue Hanna-Barbera/Cartoon Network and Powerpuff Girls for the use of Townsville in their games...

Whatever you eat do not use a straw! This actually stops the blood from clotting and prolongs the healing time. In addition to ease of eating, you don't want to eat anything too hot or cold; ice cream seems like it would be a good idea, but is not... I recently had a tooth extraction and ate a...

This wasn't my room, belonged to some work friends, but I was there. Anyway, we were at a conference and he and his roommate threw a party in their suite. By next morning there were vomit and s#!t hand prints on both bathroom walls, puke in the sinks, and massive amounts of spilled food and...

How terribly callous! Are you saying that Allison shouldn't be able to get the surgery that she needs in order not to be permanently crippled because she is "famous" in this circle?! Where is your sense of community? What's to stop anyone from raising funds for needed medical procedures? In...

My husband and I have been debating the America/UK paradox for awhile now. Here are our key examples: *According to "Bones" no crime in America should ever go unsolved and according to "Waking the Dead" no crime in the UK should ever get solved. *American soap opera characters are rich and...

I'd prefer no hope. However, I would probably offer false hope to someone else if I was sure that they would die before discovering the truth. For example, there is no point to telling children that they are going to die horrible, painful deaths and get them frightened beforehand.

My friends and I used to watch this every day after high school. It seemed very risque in the 80s for a cartoon to have characters that had sex (if very PG13 sex) and relationship drama. I have the full DVD set (for all three series) and sometimes torture my husband by playing any scene that has...

Nice try, but she is from Iowa. She doesn't own a TV either, composts her green waste, and drives a hybrid... Did I mention that I live in Marin County? Some of our friends/neighbors are psychotically "green".

Yes, we have a great dishwasher that I was intending to use... She doesn't have one, I guess that's why she decided to wash by hand.

We live quite near San Quentin and I have always thought that the gas chamber would be a nice way to go. Especially if you panic and start breathing rapidly; that would only speed things up. I'd like to think that I would be all calm about it, but any other execution method has possibilities of...

Here's the scenario: You go to a friend's house for dinner and decide to pop into the kitchen to be helpful and do some dishes. There are two sponges under the sink, one is in a plastic bag and has the word "SNAKE" written on it with a marker, the other is sitting on top of a a brillo pad. You...

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Pie is the easiest meal to make. You just chop up the meat and veg, and pop it between two crusts. Viola! The one I don't get is "She's no better than she should be." If you're no better than you should be, then you should be just as good as you should be. However, the implication is that...

I have to agree with you. I seriously injured my back 9 years ago and live with the resulting chronic pain. I have learned to accept and tolerate it. Pain pills are crap and don't do anything for the pain, they just make me stupid... The same goes for emotional pain. You have to face it...
