Yeah, this is what I was getting at. Pluto and Charon both orbit an empty point in space between them. The Moon orbits the Earth.

The same is true of the Sun and Jupiter - they both orbit (with respect to each other) a point above the surface of the sun.

Things I just realized.

Thomas Sangster, who plays Jojen Reed on Game of Thrones, also played the drummer kid in Love Actually. He looks exactly the same, so it shouldn't have been surprising, but I think I just didn't realize he was old enough to have played both roles.

On the same note, Pharrell Williams is 42. I always thought he was closer to 30 (and closer to 20 when he collaborated on Drop it Like It's Hot). Dude just doesn't age.

Holy poo poo, I went to this school! I repeatedly got cheeseburgers at the exact place where this occurred! I am unreasonably excited about this fact!

I love how criminals are condemned by the sheer number of cameras around these days. It's like the scene in Hot Fuzz when Timothy Dalton is getting taken away and all the schoolkids are grinning and filming it on their phones.

From the Schadenfreude Thread.

I have seen Hot Fuzz many times. I just realized that the supermarket owner is Timothy Dalton.

There's an episode of Always Sunny where Frank and his brother are telling a story of their youth wherein they are competing for the affections of a beautiful singer. When they first say her name it's so absurdly elegant to the ears that I didn't realize that it was in fact an incredibly crass name for a black woman.

I just figured out I'm not in the Star Trek thread in TVIV.

But it isn't.

It kind of is, maybe (okay, not really but a tenuous connection is better than most of these). "Pet peeve" is a combination of "pet" meaning "especially cherished" with "peeve." That meaning of "pet" comes from "pet" meaning "tamed animal."

The origin of "pet" meaning "tamed animal" is unknown, but it was originally a term used only in Scotland and Northern England and was "probably associated with or influenced by petty" according to Etymology Online.
