Because so much recent commentary on our presidents has been negative — remembering Lyndon Johnson only for Vietnam, Franklin Roosevelt for barring the gates to Jews fleeing Hitler, Theodore Roosevelt for his imperialist swagger and even Abraham Lincoln for the limits of his racial egalitarianism — we can benefit from reminders that even flawed mortals can, in times of national emergency, achieve great things.

We know the technology works, and we know the tech could theoretically offer a best-of-both-worlds compromise between OLED and LCD, but Samsung is yet to prove that it can manufacture these TVs and sell them for the kinds of prices that mortals can afford, not to mention at the sizes that actually fit in most people's homes.

It was here that the boundaries of technological possibility, the boundaries of fear, were redrawn by men of science in the last days of World War II; it was here, in July 1945, that the first atomic bomb was detonated, the prototype of the Fat Man plutonium device that was delivered three weeks later from the heavens to the mortals of Nagasaki.

The well-worn "sounds like [random band] on acid!" trope is way, way overused, so I won't go there, but I'm also going to go out on a limb here and assume that the fine Finns behind Tusmörke weren't completely sober when they recorded this—or if they were, they were tapped into some kind of unseen realm that we mere mortals can only imagine.

That's a shame, because check out the cuteness (and shirtlessness!) in the photo below: Until recently, a majority of the photos the tech CEO shared were directly related to Facebook (things such as press-related events, new products and partnerships, and company goals and successes), but now that he's a dad, it seems that Zuck is just as guilty of oversharing as the rest of us mortals.

With the assistance of her companion Timmy, an animated doll who desires to be a real boy and serves as her moral center, and a crystal ball to give her insight into the goings-on of the entire town, Tabitha played equal parts Greek chorus to the quaint neighborhood's conflicts, as well as an arbiter of chaos in the mortals' lives throughout most of the series.

In a recent interview with the site Fandango, Jenkins said that she had to fight hard to keep the sequence in which Diana, an Amazon cast into the world of us mere mortals, fights her way through No Man's Land — the bombed-out area separating enemy trenches — during World War I, that she might restore a supply chain to a little town that's starving to death.

At the time, his decision to bolt from the Cavs, away from one of the greatest players ever, might have seemed inexplicable to the rest of us mortals, but as he observes his flailing former team from a comfortable perch as unquestioned top dog on the East's best squad, it's hard to argue that he's not operating on a different material plane than the rest of us.

The transhumanists want to enhance us so thoroughly — through means both natural and artificial — that we become godlike, "taking control of evolution and transforming the species into something stronger, faster, sexier, healthier and with vastly superior cognitive abilities the likes of which we mere mortals cannot conceive"; the Omega Point theorists think we will all one day be brought back to life in a virtual reality.

MORITZ GROSSE-WENTRUPProfessor of data science Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich The Kamprad test, which tasks robots with the seemingly impossible job of assembling an IKEA chair, appears designed to comfort us mere mortals that we will not be easily replaced by AI. Instead, it evokes a dystopian future where artificially intelligent computers serve as the world's thought leaders and problem-solvers while their human serfs toil away in physical tasks.

In recent years, she has accrued a devoted following among witches and mortals alike: Writing for Patheos, someone known as the Starlight Witch recalled dreaming about the elusive Slavic crone throughout her childhood and coming to think of her as a mother figure; on the Facebook group Wiccan Unite, there are several threads devoted to her power and enduring legacy; in Netflix's The OA, she appears to the main character in visions.
