    Yup. I know of at least one story on my list that has updated on the 11th, for which I have yet to receive an alert.

    It's not just story alerts. I missed two review notices as well. I guess they're more concerned with adding even more useless crap onto the site... perhaps music to accompany the useless picture that accompanies the stories. Who can't get enough My Chemical Romance in their life?

    It's probably due to leftover problems from the recent network attack.

    It was me. I admit it. I was ignored as a child and I'm lashing out.

    See, this is why we can't have nice things.

    That's just the kind of thing I'd expect from someone who doesn't like The Black Parade. ;)

    In the Dark knight, did Batman mean to save Rachel and not Harvey?

    I always assumed that he chose Harvey because he knew Gotham needed him more than he needed Rachel and that's what made the phone call between Rachel and Harvey devastating because she knew Bruce would come for her until she hears he went for Harvey and she looks like she understands why.

    Yeah, she understands why -- the Joker tricked Batman into saving Harvey rather than Rachel, because he thinks he's going after Rachel. Furthermore, wtf does this have to do with Harry Potter whatsoever?

    No, he had meant to go for Rachel; the Joker lied about who was at which place.

    Oh, so what did Joker mean when he said that Batman, really was Incorruptible?
    It seems I completely misunderstood that entire conversation.

    @Don E. Sorry man, it was a question that I couldn't find anywhere else to ask, plus I don't think the thread is entirely devoted to HP related questions.

    No apologies necessary, bro.

    You might want to go back and watch that scene now that you see the other side. Batman intended to save Rachel first, but misinformation from the Joker damned him to saving Harvey, who also wanted Batman to save Rachel.

    Something that always bugged me, are Veelas and Centaurs one gender races? Does Rowling ever metions anything? With follow mithology Centaurs are all male, but I don't know about Veelas. I think they have Eastern European origin, something about nymphs. Does anyone know?

    There's no in-book answer, but the truth may however be gleaned from JKR's WOMBAT tests, which she released on her site in 2006-2007.

    The first two questions of the Grade 2 test are as follows:

    1. Which of the following statements is TRUE?
    a. Hags eat small children
    b. Inferi cannot speak
    c. Goblins fear sunlight
    d. There are no female centaurs
    e. Vampire bites are curable nowadays

    2. Which of the following statements is FALSE?
    a. Ghosts can cause movement of both liquid and gas
    b. Freshwater merpeople are less warlike than salt
    c. The werewolf's snout is shorter than that of the true wolf
    d. There are no male Veela
    e. Hags have four toes on each foot

    These are not multiple answer questions, as the test specifies when it wants more than one answer in later questions.

    The answer to question 1 is irrevocably A. It was established on a chocolate frog card that hags DO eat children, therefore we must assume that Inferi CAN speak, Goblins DO NOT fear sunlight, there ARE female centaurs, and vampire bites are NOT curable.

    The second question is much less straightforward as we cannot divine truth by elimination. All we know is that ghosts CAN influence gas and water, and that a werewolf's snout is DIFFERENT from a regular wolf, but we don't know how exactly.

    So, female centaurs exist. The question of male veela I leave up to you.

    I would also say that in the second question, hags having four toes seems the least reasonably believable on the surface, and so would perhaps be the most likely to be false.

    Trick question!

    The feet aren't theirs, and the four toes are left after they've eaten one.
    It's the big one, you know; like the ears on a chocolate bunny, it is.:fire
