Bathtub Sink Effect

Those times when you use your bathtub to heat your sink. A lot of times when one washes their hands at the sink and turns the water on hot, nothing but cold water comes out of the faucet. By letting the water in the bathtub run for about 10-15 seconds, the water heats up. Then you turn off the water in the bathtub, run your water on hot at the sink, and in a couple of seconds, you have hot water running at the sink.

Normally when the Bathtub Sink Effect is not done, you can run the sink water for minutes and get nothing but cold water even though you have it on hot.

Seno Miyagi

Seno is the Director of the Science Division of Second Earth. He is insistant towards the high council about keeping Marlene from being omitted so that she can remain as partners with Yuji on the battlefield.

Seno Miyagi discovers a link between the B-cells and the sleepers, and implements an experiment. Later he learns that there might be a deception by the High Council and organizes "The Ark," an underground organization to stop the experimentation of the B-Cells.

Seno Miyagi is a fucking badass. Definitely one of my favorite characters from Blue Gender.

Get Off Scot-Free

Getting off scot-free refers to someone getting away without payment, either monetary or otherwise. In fact in modern usage, it often refers to suspects who are not convicted of a crime. If a person feels that the suspect should have been convicted, he might say, “That guy is getting off scot-free.” Often the term is confused with the frugality that is occasionally attributed to the Scottish. Actually, the term scot predates old Gaelic that would have been spoken by the Scots. In fact the word has its origins in Scandinavian language and probably descends to the English language via Anglo-Saxon.

To get off scot-free implies evasion, purposeful or otherwise of the dues one is supposed to pay. It is frequently an annoyance to others if people duck out of paying what everyone else must pay. This is especially the case if the scot of a bar tab is avoided, since everyone else will have to pay extra to make up for the person getting off scot-free.
