I have microwaved fish in an office microwave. It was in a separate lunchroom, in a well-ventilated kitchen away from the seating area, and my lunch hour was later than most people's, so I don't think I bothered many people.

This is borderline, but I think under the conditions you described, it can be considered acceptable.

One place I worked they banned microwave popcorn. Someone put it microwave popcorn and walked away and the popcorn got burnt. The whole office smelled like burnt popcorn the rest of the day.

My workplace had a sign ... Anybody using the microwave for popcorn ... Management has the rights to take the microwave away from you. That's did the trick.

Be it in new movies, new TV shows ar any other media... every Superman appearance should be accompanied by the John Williams theme!
There! I said it.
Ta-da-da-da-daaaaam.... ta-da-daaaaam...

Absolutely! And I would say the same, but swap Superman for Batman and John Williams for Danny Elfman. Impossible though it would have been, I'd have loved it if the Nolan Batman DVDs had had the option to have Elfman's theme played during crucial scenes.

We hear that in the Justice League film, in the scene where Batman meets Gordon next to the bat-signal, when Bruce gets the batmobile out in Russia and in a few other places. Joy! And the Superman theme too. Classic!

Religious exclusivism is an utterly bizarre, bewildering mindset. It's like claiming a single colour the only true colour and dismissing the entire rest of the rainbow as wrong/evil. I can't fathom it at all.

I think it’s the case for Zimmer’s Batman theme too, joining the Elfman and the Hefti nananananananana ones. The darknight detective is apparently inspiring!

I can't fathom it at all. I've been following what's been happening to people in Haiti who practice Vodou and they are literally being branded as evil, mostly started by outsiders, and in their own country! You have cases of Haitians attacking fellow Haitians under the influence of propaganda not even from their own country but from outside and another competing religion. It's really amazing how well the whole divide and conquer thing can work, and sometimes how fast. Then like politics you have a growing faction of people who are against all of it, blame all religion like they will say all politicians are equally bad and no longer participate. As we know Haiti has had natural disasters like other places, but when it happens to Haiti it's the fault of the people who practice Vodou... this is the "logic" of thousands of years ago.

I can't fathom it at all. Well, for a monotheistic religion with a revealed message, there isn’t much choice... either your one true god is the right one, or it isn’t. To reuse your color metaphor, polytheism describes the world as a rainbow, in which there isn’t a single “true” color... but monotheism is more like a dichotomy, light or darkness, and there is indeed only one light. Romans used to see early Christians as very intolerant, because they refused to accept that Rome’s gods were real... but it wasn’t a matter of tolerance, it was a matter of irreconcilable theological models (poly- vs monotheism).

Romans used to see early Christians as very intolerant, because they refused to accept that Rome’s gods were real... but it wasn’t a matter of tolerance, it was a matter of irreconcilable theological models (poly- vs monotheism). This often brings to mind the parable of the blind men and the elephant. It's one of my favourite parables. A group of blind men approach an elephant, and with no understanding of what an elephant looks like, proceed to touch different parts of the animal to gain an understanding of its nature. One touches an ear and declares the elephant is like a fan; another touches a tusk and declares its like a spear, etc. That's how I understand the nature of God and the different, seemingly irreconcilable spiritual paths of Man. I identify as a Christian; I consider Jesus a great spiritual and moral teacher, and the language and imagery of the New Testament resonates strongly with me. At the same time, I see the Bible as a human creation — an anthology of writings written by men separated by time, position, and understanding — which provides an imperfect & incomplete image of God. I look to other faiths to learn their insights and gain a more well-rounded picture of the Divine.
