I suppose you need to decide whether or not you want to be a active participant pretty sharpish then.

The words scale, dandruff and shed are the same word in German.

Yep. The image of the scales threw me. Fish scales, snake, dragon etc. not weighing scales!
The literal translation of Hautschuppen (dandruff) is skin scales or flakes.

That my PS4 has a pointless LED strip (it sits behind my TV so I never noticed before) to go with it's next to pointless light-up bit of the controller.

Actually, if I were his producer, I'd want him to spend the time and money, bring it in on time and on budget. That what it's there for. If you're not spending the time, you're rushing. The budget is there to be spent, wisely. The last Batman film could've used a little more time and money in the art department so little things like having consistent signage on the police cars were taken care of. Not to mention the script, now I think about it. ION: I don't use it outside of work, but there's some handy tips here: http://lifehacker.com/the-secret-powers-of-chromes-address-bar-1651920066

Our IT department has put an easter egg in all the background images on the intranet log in pages. There's a photo of a former member of staff 'shopped into most of them. Been refreshing pages to try and find them all...

His wife's his producer usually TDKR was a shambles compared to the others. Still better than most films, but it stunk of favours and compromises.

Apparently we have glass to thank for the explosion of science in Europe. The Chinese, for decades, were far in advance of us technologically. However, they relied on china and earthenware beakers to conduct experiments with chemistry. Sadly, the vessels pH and general reactiveness would affect the outcome and make progress difficult if not impossible. However, over in Europe, we were playing with glass. Glass which is pH neutral and generally un-reactive was much more successful vessel to be doing science with, and opened many more doors for science. Wonderful, wonderful glass.
