So I guess England dosen't really count, since it dosen't actually share a boarder with France, or Spain, or Ireland... oops, there's Scotland. Japan I guess can work then, since they're completely encircled in water, and they only attacked, what, China, Korea, Vietnam, Laos, the Philipines, Indoni...

I take some degree of offense to that. At the very least I'd like to see where on either you're getting your number from. Well, they've messed pretty hard with the politics of most of central america, south america, and the middle east. They've outright invaded Canada, Mexico, Iraq, Afganistan, Kor...

In britain, I believe "knock me up" is an acceptable form of "knock on the door and wake me up". I've heard it used that way in at least two different sources, although I suppose that doesn't really prove anything.

The funny thing is most definitions of Car I can find online link to Carre or Carra which is old english for Cart. so technically car is older than automobile. Exactly my point. We started off with "horseless carriage" and "automobile" and, when the thing grew common enough, adapted an older word a...

Leet may have morphed into the more benign lolcatese, but Chatspeak is just as strong as ever. And even in everyday useage, the english language is enough to make any logician wet his/her trousers. This is one of the main reasons nobody's passed the Turing Test yet. I disagree that language follows ...

Which reminds me. After 9/11, there haven't been a single succesfull terrorist strike on American soil. But just few years ago, London, Madrid. The Brits have moved on. The spanish have moved on. Why hasn't America moved on? Why didn't Germany move on after the burning of the Reichstag? Because peo...

And anyways, crossbreeding shit like half-vulcans makes absolutely no scientific sense. Whether or not it makes sense depends on your scientific framework and the biology of the various species. If some othe race has been tinkering with our genes in order to produce a particular result, it's possib...

Take the randomness out of it, come up with your own system based on d4. or d12 if you want more randomness. put those lesser used dice to work. Stop the dice discrimination! There are more dice than just d10 and d20! They need to feed their families. Think of the Children man, think of the childre...

You said that almost everyone has the potential to unlock these powers, right? If so, I think that would become almost a mandatory part of education, in which case the few who can't would probably either become servants/helpers to the rest, or break off and form their own insular society on some isl...

If I was designing a world like that, my first impulse would be to interview blind people IRL, find out how they cope. I have to imagine that living in our world without sight, or hearing, would be in many ways similar to the experience of your protagonists. What sort of powers are we talking about ...

And if the batteries are of the Nickel-Metal-Hydride variety, don't drain them all the way down, they'll last a lot longer if you recharge them after half-discharge. Really? Don't they loose their zero-point if you don't drain them all the way down once in a while? I could be out of date on that th...
