If you want to actually fool people on a forum over the internet on April 1st, the best way to do it would be to present real, shocking information but present it sarcastically, trying to imply that you are lying. Then - they laugh when they find that they were fooled by the entire concept of April ...

It`s to show her individuality as a person and as a woman as well. It`s the way she wants to prove herself as an individual, not just a piece of prosthetic junk. Does she really care about *proving* herself? Notice how in Solid State Society she spends all of her personal time doing what Section 9 ...

This is actually more than just a breakthrough now, it's in the process of being perfected and improved. In fact, I just read something similar to what you're talking about a couple of weeks ago (one day before you posted) http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=cyborg-10 EDIT I'm going to go back on th...

What is the importance of the "stand alone complex"
The show portrays the "stand alone complex" in two major fashions: (1) Socioeconomic: There is corruption and scandal in the medical industry, and a victim/hero tries to shine a light on it. No one in the public sees the series of events for what they truly are; it wasn't corporate terrori...

The episode in its entirety definitely isn't trash. It talks about the background of Kuze, alludes to some operation in Mexico where drugs are formed into figurines to be sold, and once again shows how the lower levels of society function (a major theme in 2nd GIG). It highlights the formation of id...
