“Holy Shit Summer! ” Stiles exclaimed flabbergasted, trailing after the redhead with his mouth open.
“Summer, Wait!”
She slowed her steps, but didn’t actually stop, knowing perfectly well that he could catch up to her if he really wanted. She did cast a glance at him over her shoulder, a little surprised. His reaction hadn’t exactly been what she expected.
Muse, will you /please/ shut up? Nobody is going to reply to us at this hour, and 90% of the people you want to talk to are ASLEEP. They have lives, unlike me. Stop pawing at the box.
How I thought Guardians of the Galaxy will be:
How it actually was:

This is one of the world’s great mysteries, like what happened to the Roanoke colony, and to writer Ambrose Bierce.
I wonder if the Mary Celeste story gave Bram Stoker the idea for one of the most haunting images in his novel DRACULA, the (mostly) empty ship.
Yes, lets imagine a world WITHOUT MUSLIMS, shall we?
Without Muslims you wouldn’t have:
- Coffee
Cameras
Experimental Physics
Chess
Soap
Shampoo
Perfume/spirits
Irrigation
Crank-shaft, internal combustion engine, valves, pistons
Combination locks
Architectural innovation (pointed arch -European Gothic cathedrals adopted this technique as it made the building much stronger, rose windows, dome buildings, round towers, etc.)
Surgical instruments
Anesthesia
Windmill
Treatment of Cowpox
Fountain pen
Numbering system
Algebra/Trigonometry
Modern Cryptology
3 course meal (soup, meat/fish, fruit/nuts)
Crystal glasses
Carpets
Checks
Gardens used for beauty and meditation instead of for herbs and kitchen.

It was a Muslim who realized that light ENTERS our eyes, unlike the Greeks who thought we EMITTED rays, and so invented a camera from this discovery.
It was a Muslim who first tried to FLY in 852, even though it is the Wright Brothers who have taken the credit.
It was a Muslim by the name of Jabir ibn Hayyan who was known as the founder of modern Chemistry. He transformed alchemy into chemistry. He invented: distillation, purification, oxidation, evaporation, and filtration. He also discovered sulfuric and nitric acid.
It is a Muslim, by the name of Al-Jazari who is known as the father of robotics.
It was a Muslim who was the architect for Henry V’s castle.
It was a Muslim who invented hollow needles to suck cataracts from eyes, a technique still used today.
It was a Muslim who actually discovered inoculation, not Jenner and Pasteur to treat cowpox. The West just brought it over from Turkey
It was Muslims who contributed much to mathematics like Algebra and Trigonometry, which was imported over to Europe 300 years later to Fibonnaci and the rest.
It was Muslims who discovered that the Earth was round 500 years before Galileo did.
The list goes on………..
Just imagine a world without Muslims. Now I think you probably meant, JUST IMAGINE A WORLD WITHOUT TERRORISTS. And then I would agree, the world would definitely be a better place without those pieces of filth. But to hold a whole group responsible for the actions of a few is ignorant and racist. No one would ever expect Christians or White people to be held responsible for the acts of Timothy McVeigh (Oklahoma bombing) or Andreas Brevik (Norway killing), or the gun man that shot Congresswoman Giffords in head, wounded 12 and killed 6 people, and rightly so because they had nothing to do with those incidents! Just like the rest of the 1.5 billion Muslims have nothing to do with this incident!

And what about our Muslim friends? Our Muslim partners? Our Muslim bankers, and in-laws, and doctors, and artists, and editors, and bankers, and writers, and film-makers, and lab workers, and professors, and fellow students? What about our fellow residents of the world?
As well (and with justification) blame the world’s sorrows on America, in Panama, in Cuba and the Philippines, in Honduras, in Vietnam, in Cambodia and Laos, in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Columbia, and I’m counting out two World Wars. Maybe I shouldn’t. We don’t exacting shine a bright humanitarian light next to the Muslim world, do we?
Her hands drifted up his back, stroking slowly over the sweat-damp skin. She loved the sense of lean muscles, slowly shifting under the velvet smoothness of his skin. “How do you even do that?” she whispered. “You’re so tall, how can you even fit yourself like that?”
He shifted again and stretched out, humming pleasantly at her fingertips moving across his body, a delighted smile stretching across his face as he gazed down at her. “It’s a talent – you’re sure I’m not too heavy for you? I don’t mind moving if it’ll make you more comfortable.”
A wry smile curved her mouth. “You aren’t putting your whole weight on me — and I’m strong.” She remembered their first — no, second — night together, talking about strength, and blushed faintly. “Stronger now.”
After another shudder, she went limp, utterly relaxed against the blankets, hands resting against his back. “I think you’ve killed me,” she murmured with a tiny smile. “I’ve died and gone to heaven.”
Collapsing on top of her with a grunt and slotting his head in under her chin, Isaac smiled against her skin and shook with laughter. “What a way to go though, Summer,” he whispered breathlessly and shifted atop her, his eyes fluttering shut.
