  1. Re:True on Study Proves Having Fat Friends Makes You Fat · · Score: 1
    Um... they eat school lunches nine months a year.

    Fried brains would kill them, right? Problem solved.

  5. Re:And who saw that ending coming? on Harry Potter Leaked Via Handheld Camera · · Score: 1

    However, many of them will be lucky enough to have someone tell them the right way to watch the movies. (Start with ANH, and go forward until "I am your father", then gosub to TPM, AotC, and RotS to get the story behind Vader, then return and finish the series). It would be a spoiler for these people. I believe the correct order is "A New Hope", "The Empire Strikes Back" "Return of the Jedi" and forget the prequels.

  10. Re:Bad Statistics on Safest Seat on a Plane, Or How to Survive a Crash · · Score: 1
    Well, if the likelihood of being wrong is higher than the likelihood of being right, then it's clear the front seats are safer.

    ;)

  11. Re:The writing's been on the wall... on Checkers Solved, Unbeatable Database Created · · Score: 1

    You just need two boards and a referee.

  12. Strangely enough on Cheap Paint-able Solar Cells Developed · · Score: 2, Funny

    I painted my solar cells, and now they aren't working as well. I demand a refund.

  13. Re:Too Much To Ask For..... on Boeing Helping to Develop Algae-Powered Jet · · Score: 1

    So, what you're really saying is that your car runs on hot air, right? I mean, it used to be gasoline, but it isn't when it's actually moving pistons.

  14. Re:Just one question Mr Meier... on The History of Civilization · · Score: 1

    B5 was a hit.

  15. Re:News For Nerds How??!! on Exxon's Brute Squad Hacks the Yes Men · · Score: 1

    Really says something about the /. community.

  22. Re:Both right? on The Impossibility of Colonizing the Galaxy · · Score: 1

    By scientific consensus, we believed the Earth was flat, until we were told it wasn't. We attacked the naysayers and tried to have them killed...

    The ones behing killing people were upholding a religious consensus--even the ancient Greeks knew the world was round. Oh, yeah, those guys. The ones who killed people because they didn't like irrational numbers.
