Did Scarlett ever win Rhett back?
No, it’s his eyeglasses that are made from the windshield. Mirror’s just a mirror. The eyeglasses give him super-hypnotism.
Was Mopee lying?
Like, for instance, how did the Millennium Falcon travel from Hoth to Bespin without passing light speed? Were they traveling for years?
I think I may actually know this one. Back in the late 60’s, it was a “thing” for British hippies (Brippies?) to hop in their vans and *drive *all the way to India - through mainland Europe, Turkey, Iran and Afghanistan. Since a hippie has essentially the same defensive capabilities as a beached manatee, many of them fell prey to predators along the way.
“What do you get if you multiply six by nine in a restaurant?”
Lets you deduce bistromathics, is exactly the sort of thing a young girl sitting on her own in a café in Rickmansworth would be ideally positioned to note, and fits perfectly with the “What do you get if you multiply six by nine…” question Arthur assembles letter by letter until he runs out of Scrabble tiles.
Why do Grim Reapers have to be forced to determine who their souls are based on Post-Its with no first name? Why…∞
Well, they can’t exactly fly, just leap really high. But even so, the reasoning is the same for the real world. From lower ground, it’s harder to get at your enemy without going through their range of attack first… and possibly getting your legs and arms cut off.
I worked for a yearo n an annotted version of Rosemary’s Baby. I still can’t figure out if the horrible ain she felt for twomonths was a physical thing from carrying the offspring of Satan, or was it a spell put on her by the coven to keep her from interacting with people?
The first makes more sense, but the pain disappears when she tells Guy she is going to see another (non-coven) doctor.
And if the Grim Reapers are assigned divisions based on their own cause of death, where do the pet reapers come from?
Do the pet reapers get post-its too? How are their targets identified? “ETD 915 corner of fifth and elm. Fluffy?”
If Grim Reapers move on when they reach their quota, and their latest reap takes their place, what about the pets the pet reapers reap?
What the heck does “Rafel maï amech zabi almi” translate to?
Pick from two options:
A) The Question is “What do you get when you multiply six by seven”. So, just a math problem, and that happens to be the most important one.
B) The Question is “What do you get when you multiply six by nine”. The actual meaning of the question being “in fact, the universe doesn’t make any goddamned sense” as indicted by the fact that six by nine in no way makes 42.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Jordan has said since a signing just after “Lord of Chaos” that “all the clues are there” and that he was surprised everyone was still wondering about it.
All of the net nerds working on it have worked really hard and the best they’ve come up with is, “Well, Graendal is the only person who seemed to not be in the middle of something at the time. So, screw it, she’s the official answer until some good facts come out.”
And, if you read the most recent book you will understand why that ain’t gonna happen.

I have reported you to the Goddess.
And, if you actually watched the movie, instead of just looking for something to bitch about, it was clear that it was just a taunt to get Anakin to do something stupid.
He could have just floated down the river, jumped off, and approached from the other side, too, but he didn’t.
Imagine that, the old master knowing what buttons to push on his reckless student.
There’s lots of silly things to bitch about in the Star Wars movies, but that isn’t one of them. That’s just lazy viewing.

Interesting fact: that scene - the entire end of the duel - was actually directed by Stephen Spielberg. Not coincidentally, it’s the only scene in two films where Hayden Christensen manages to emote convincingly.
It was a RADIOACTIVE space whale. In the Silver Age, radiation was magic.
A better question might be why Mr. and Mrs. Nah named their son Jo. In a fantasy universe that’s just asking for trouble
Still doesn’t make sense. From the lower position, you just work your way up, dwarf-style. Chop them off at the ankles, then the knees, then the hips, until they are no longer above you.
You understand that a couple thousand years of sword combat disagrees with you, right?

Sure. If it was Graendel, then Asmo is still alive, cos that much balefire has to qipe out LOTS of history…
Hopefully this will be answered in fact next month or in the last book
I wish it’d be that easy, but no.
Remember Rand’s lab rat. The guy had had the most recent weave removed by the Balefire, but his brain was still permanently hosed from the previous Graendel Compulsions.
So, it might have removed the last few days or weeks, but it’s not going to go back years.

I actually remember that Flash comic!
I just did a google and found out the only time DC used Mopee again was in Ambush Bug, as part of an homage to the most embarrassing parts of the DC Universe.
Comedians like Woody Allen and Jerry Lewis were showing up in comics back then, and I think the Mopee thing was just supposed to be a funny one-off story using a goofy superhero version of Woody. They probably never considered anything about canon.
These aren’t swords, they’re light sabers. 
Different kettle of fish entirely.
