They look cool

Meeting rooms are named after robots. They even had one with a glass wall and had Bender etched holding a sign “Robots Rule!”

Do you want to piss the Mechanicus off? Because that's how you piss the Mechanicus off.

Mind you, he got his start on the stage in Australia before moving to the West End -- he was Curly in Oklahoma. He went onto star in the film of Les Miserables.

It'd be a shock if he couldn't sing.

You want to learn something actually shocking. Russell Crowe can sing. You wouldn't believe watching the train wreck of a film that was.

I actually quite like that film -- and his performance of Stars, while not as melodic as -- say -- Philip Quast in the 10th Anniversary Concert, isn't as bad as people make it out to be (I credit it as an acting performance, not a singing performance).

Robert Preston said the reason he got the part of Professor Harold Hill in The Music Man was, they were auditioning for that role by having the men do "You Got Trouble" and his acting skills allowed him to delivery what is essentially a patter-song, not a melodic one.

Neat.

That would be AMAZING

A swamp and jungle covered planet, now imagine that

Your confusion is understandable, given how TET normally is not a place for merriment and mirth.

Yes, for it is time to quantify last week's data. Gotta keep the pie charts up to date for the next meeting.

Treat loved ones to a banoffee pie for dessert featuring a classic biscuit base, oozy caramel, bananas, cream and chocolate. Who could resist?

*ooo la la*

Pretty sure said banoffee pie didn't go stale, given the hunger so prevalent in this community.
