Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Kill This Thread VI: The 24-Hour Version, Part II

A transformer is an electrical device that transfers electrical energy from one circuit to another through inductively coupled conductors. A varying current in the first wingding produces a varying magnetic flux in the core, thus producing a magnetic field in the second wingding. Transformers range in size from a thumb nail size conductor inside a microphone to units weighing hundreds of tons that connect power grids. Transformers are found in nearly all electronic devices that use household voltage.

Both Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry independently discovered the phenonmenon of electromagnetic induction in 1831. The induction coil of a transformer was invented by Rev. Nicholas Callan of Maynooh College, Ireland in 1836.

Transformer is a 1972 album by Lou Reed, produced by David Bowie & Mick Ronson. Reed was directionless after leaving the Velvet Underground, and Bowie, a massive VU fan, was only too happy to help his hero Reed climb aboard the glam-rock bandwagon.

"Walk on the Wild Side" became an unlikely AM radio hit, but I prefer "Vicious", "Satellite of Love" and "Perfect Day" (when the last was covered by Duran Duran in 1995, Reed horrified hipsters everywhere by admitting that he liked DD's version.)

I tool around IMBD sometimes, but don't really know enough about movies to say anything.

As for Amazon, they pissed me off several years back, when they mysteriously "lost" the reviews I posted for awesome local groups that weren't fortunate enough to be on major labels.

I stick to LJ and CD Baby now, when it comes to posting reviews. Or I will in the magic, far-flung future where I can afford to buy some damn music.

As I said, I've only posted a handful of reviews to IMDb. I've never written one for Amazon, but, of course Amazon owns IMDb.

The only place online I give reviews of any genre any credence is Legion World.

(That's really true.)

Makes me wish I had something fabulous to post a review of. [grumble]

I remember writing one review for a comic book on LW. It was for an issue of the most recent JSA title, late in its run. It was not a good review, although it did get better after that.

I really miss the JSA!

Are you going to give the JSA relaunch a try, Rocky?

I am, even though I haven't read anything good by Robinson in years (I skipped Starman #81 because it was a Blackest Night tie-in.) Nicola Scott's art is certainly an incentive. She's like the new George Perez, only evolved to the next level IMO.

I certainly am. I've already told my CBS to add it to my pull list as soon as it's available. As I've said before, if all DC published were Legion and JSA-related titles, I wouldn't mind one bit.

CBS or the Columbia Broadcasting System started as a radio network in 1927. CBs was the network on which Orson Welles' Mercury Theater on the Air broadcasted the infamous War of the Worlds show.

Back in the days when each of the Big Three televsion networks had their own identity, CBS was known as "The Tiffany Network" because they had a reputation for producing the classiest shows.

According to Wikipedia, the Tiffany Network nickname might have also come about because CBS demonstrated the first color TVs in an old Tiffanys & Co. building.

There's a lady in the cheese department at a store I used to frequent (and still do occasionally) who my friends and I refer to as "Tiffany, the Cheese Goddess".

Wasabi Woman and Cheese Goddess! Together, with Cast-Ironman, they are-- <span style="font-size: 18px;">The CATERING SQUAD!!</span>

(I had a reference to Wasabi Woman in a fanfic I wrote ages ago, but alas she never appeared on panel...)

We had a teacher in elementary school who looked a little like a rat. For Christmas, we gave her a collection of cheeses.

I happened to see the Cheese Goddess today. She used to be a redhead, but is now a blonde.

Hey, did someone ask for Tiffany?

Tiffany?

We...could've been.

IB, In college I had an accounting teacher who mumbled in a monotone. He looked like someone who would only have potato salad for lunch and enjoy it.

<span style="font-size: 15px;"><font face="chalkboard">Hmmm... a dinner omelet with herbs and cheese, plus those cute little frozen/fried off-brand shredded potato cylinders, sounds really good right now.</span></font f>

/zips over to the neighbors' house to borrow some ketchup/

Las Ketchup will never fade away.

Ketchup lasts a very long time in my house. I never use it.

<font face="chalkboard"><span style="font-size: 15px;">But it's easier to spell than Worcestershire, at least.</font f></span>

I'm surprised Quis even has ketchup, given his dislike of tomatoes.
