Well, that's certainly a twist...

An AI Stan Lee Hologram Is Coming to LA Comic Con (Really)

Stan Lee has been dead for nearly a decade, but next week's comic convention will let you chat with his AI recreation, which is...a choice.

I hate this. But it’s all about consent and the wishes of the deceased.

For example, I asked my wife to have me preserved and placed in a chair in the basement. Wires attached tot he door are supposed to open my mouth and have me start to stand.

Just to scare kids and people entering the basement.

So... Jack did this with a Testors hobby knife earlier tonight...

View attachment 417645

The cut was at a very shallow angle, so it didn't go very deep inward, but did slice all the way straight through the triangular area. Bled like a bastard, but I immediately applied pressure and apparently seems to have stuck itself back together without needing stitches.
It's the second best I've ever gotten meself with one of those things.

Has Jack gotten a tetanus shot within the past 10 years?

And people say we aren't in a cyberpunk dystopia.

You'll be the best Halloween decoration on the block!

New EnWorld Rule (or maybe not): The first one to make a culinary analogy looses the debate.

Debate? All I've ever seen are arguments.

Speaking of culinary analogies, I heard a good one the other day. "Your opinion won't change the taste of the apple." No matter how much you love apples (or hate them, I suppose) and how loudly you tout that opinion, apples will always taste like apples and people will still love/hate them just as much as they always have. Or, tldr; you can't talk someone into liking apples.

Of course, around here we would have to change that to pineapples, but I digress.

What if you tell them the doctor is Hannibal Lecter, and the only way to keep him away is...

Stan Lee was pretty famously exploited and manipulated by pretty much everyone around him in the last few years of his life. I would be highly suspicious -- to put it mildly -- of anyone who claims they have his consent to use his likeness like this.
