Opening

Ben and Matt's overall brand for their various media projects is currently "The Rebel Underground".

Their first "studio" is called "Rebel Underground Studios".

Matt and Ben play "rock scissors paper": Matt plays rock and Ben plays scissors.

Ben says "yes sir" a lot and "yeppers" once.

News

Pirates of the Caribbean 5 was announced. Not released until 2017

13:11 Regarding Pirates of the Caribbean 3: At World's End I hated it. I hated it. I hated it.
Take that, Jimmy Carter!

Main Topic

The Bible is for humans and does not preclude things outside that context: for example, aliens.

If a flying saucer with aliens came to Earth, would you still be a Christian?
