However, the aforementioned character has no legs. Furthermore, his lower body consists of what appear to be cables to link him to the chair. Hence, he has no need for legroom.

So where did The Doctor put his legs?

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

What is Tolkien trying to say in this letter?

In a draft of a letter, later recorded as #246, Tolkien makes a strange statement. I am interested in the first few sentences of the letter, but I will include the remainder for the sake of context. In the 'Mirror of Galadriel', 1381, it appears that Galadriel conceived of herself as capable of wielding the Ring and supplanting the Dark Lord. If so, so also were the other guardians of the Three, especially Elrond . But this is another matter. It was part of the essential deceit of the Ring to fill minds with imaginations of supreme power . But this the Great had well considered and had rejected, as is seen in Elrond's words at the Council. Galadriel's rejection of the temptation was founded upon previous thought and resolve. In any case Elrond or Galadriel would have proceeded in the policy now adopted by Sauron: they would have built up an empire with great and absolutely subservient generals and armies and engines of war, until they could challenge Sauron and destroy ...

harry potter - What does it mean that Vernon Dursley is the director of Grunnings?

In the opening chapter of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone it says: Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings, which made drills. Since I'm not British, I'm not sure of the American business equivalent. What does that mean? Is director like the CEO, COO, Chairman of the Board? Answer A "company director" has a specific legal meaning in the UK. The company directors are responsible for day-to-day operations and answer directly to the owners or shareholders. They have certain responsibilities under the law -- for example, they are required to ensure that the company's financial records are correct. (See https://www.gov.uk/running-a-limited-company .) In the USA such a person would be a "member of the board of directors". A small business might have only one company director. This is distinct from the titles used within a company. In a large corporation, employees well below the "board of directors" level might be calle...

the dark tower - Nozz-a-la vs. Pepsi in Stephen King's 'Kingdom Hospital'

In the TV Series ' Kingdom Hospital ', at the end of the series, with various things appearing to have retro-actively changed, we see the vending machines have changed from carrying Nozz-a-la to Pepsi. I realize Nozz-a-la has shown up in a number of other Stephen King stories ( The Dark Tower , for example, leaps to mind), but is there any specific indication to what it means here? I.e., has the core group switched to an alternate world or some such, or is this just a small time-travel change effect? Said another way.. Have they really changed their past (and, therefore, their world) or have they simply returned to an alternate world, leaving theirs still intact? Answer TL;DR: Exactly what the switch from Nozz-A-La to Pepsi is supposed to mean isn't entirely clear, but there is considerable evidence that the change is intended to serve as a meaningful hint, conveying a deeper significance, both internally (within the Kingdom Hospital story itself) and externally (in re...
