Ripley canonically had a daughter named Amanda who died while Ripley was in stasis between Alien and Aliens. Amanda Ripley is the player character in Alien: Isolation.

“Romneycare” was already taken, and as an uninformed Canadian, isn’t it basically similar?

There’s also the classic “no three positive integers a, b, and c to satisfy a**n + b**n = c**n for values of n greater than 2“ trick but my proof is too large to fit in this comment.

If all of the digits summed recursively reduce to a 9, then the number is divisible by 9 and also by 3.

If the difference between the sums of alternating sets digits in a number is divisible by 11, then the number itself is divisible by 11.

That’s all I can remember, but yay for math right?

That was also part of the reason, yes. It was a planet that has both — similar humanoids and a yellow sun. If earth was populated by a race of sentient arachnids with a yellow sun, it would have been a pass.

I think part of the reason his parents chose earth was because they knew that humans were so similar looking to Kryptonians. They didn’t send them to, like, the equivalent of a Klingon planet or whatever for this reason. Earth was chosen purposefully, not at random.

This was basically the plot of Stephen King’s Sleepwalkers.
