And much like Vietnam, or Iraq, or Afghanistan, the United States government largely refuses to admit defeat and some pockets will try to keep it going indefinitely (most likely because they personally stand to profit from the continuation of whichever "war" we happen to be talking about)

Reply to comment by wrextnight in TIL Germs and Foo Fighters guitarist Pat Smear appears as one of the dancers in Prince's 1985 video for "Raspberry Beret." Dave Grohl in the book "I Want My MTV": "Pat can't dance so they sent him home (...) Prince whispers in the bodyguard's ear. Bodyguard says, 'You can stay. He likes your hair.'" by Bubbly-Incident
...The Werewolves of London guy covered a Prince classic? Huh, good for him, I guess.

Reply to comment by dmk_aus in TIL Frankenstein did not have a hunchback assistant called Igor in either Mary Shelley's novel or the original Universal and Hammer films. The character is a pastiche of multiple characters across several movies. by BringsHomeBones
>Yeah, I don't get all the "Frankenstein's Creature is a victim".
Agree that the Monster isn't a victim, but I'd argue the axiom of "...the Doctor is the real monster" still holds true. The guy slapped together corpses and brought it to life, he then had to deal with the ramifications of his having played God. Unfortunately the Doctor couldn't hide from his creation like God, or Steve Buscemi, though...
