  1. Supervillian? No. Theif? Probably. on Study Finds Most Would Become Supervillians If Given Powers · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I wouldn't spend my efforts trying to destroy mankind, but I'd probably rob a bank every now and then.

  2. Re:What exactly is the middle ground? on Top Reason for Facebook Unfriending Is Too Many Useless Posts · · Score: 4, Funny

    Too polarizing= "God punished the ELCA on the day of their gay vote by sending a tornado that caused huge damage in Minneapolis where they held the vote. I hope that sends a message that HE doesn't want gays in HIS church!!"

    Too banal= "Thinking about making some scrambled eggs."

  3. Re:KISS - the worst on Star Wars Films In 3D Due In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Spongebob Squarepants is definitely worse than KISS.

    But in his defense, Spongebob writes better songs these days.

  4. KISS - the worst on Star Wars Films In 3D Due In 2012 · · Score: 1

    Seriously...is there any other film franchise out there that blatantly squeezes more money out of its fans?

    SW may be bad about it, but the band KISS is downright (and admittedly) shameless when it comes to branding anything they can.

  5. Should be good for me, but really doesn't matter.. on Scientists Find New Target For Alzhiemer's · · Score: 1

    I'm likely in line for alzheimers, but pretty sure my heart will kill me before I get there. Genetics is a bitch.

    Awesome for the rest of the world, though!

  6. Re:Woof on Where To Start With DIY Home Security? · · Score: 1

    FTW

    Sorry, that I have no mod points.

  7. Re:He'll be pretty easy to spot on Darth Vader Robs Long Island Bank · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, it'll be the guy whose mom drops him off in an pimped out Escalade.

  8. Re:Little Dutch Boy on Gulf Oil Leak Plugged? · · Score: 1

    He's busy making paint.

    A dude's gotta work.

  9. It's volume, dumbass . . . on Gulf Gusher Worst Case Scenario · · Score: 4, Funny

    use Volkswagen beetles, not LOCs.

  10. huh? I'm supposed to do what now? on FDA Approves Vaccine For Prostate Cancer · · Score: 1

    Oh, sorry. Missed the dollar sign. As you were...

  11. nicely done. on FDA Approves Vaccine For Prostate Cancer · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    and me with no mod points.

  12. Re:Lost Child on Meteor Spotted Yesterday Over Midwestern United States · · Score: 1

    Bonus points for the linked photo. I was expecting a movie screenshot, etc., but that was just awesome.

    Well done.

  13. Re:Unintended consequences? on House Passes Massive Medical Insurance Bill, 219-212 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    people like Rush Limbaugh have stated that they would leave the US if this bill was passed

    If only . . . .

    I believe Rush said he'd go to Costa Rica if he ever needed surgery. He wouldn't move there, he'd just go as a medical tourist.

  14. Re:Good News! on Details Emerge On Futurama's "Rebirth" (and Return) · · Score: 1

    You are smart in making that connection. Did you go to Beverly Hills Upstairs Medical College too?

  15. Re:Reminds me of broadband internet in the beginni on Gas Wants To Kill the Wind · · Score: 1

    They would very likely adjust your salary based on the local cost of living.

    Microsoft has a large campus in Fargo, ND, and that's how it works here. Still good jobs, but part of what attracts them to a rural area is the 'cheap workforce'.

  16. It's ice, you clod! on NASA Estimates 600 Million Metric Tons of Water Ice At Moon's North Pole · · Score: 4, Informative

    Solids need to be measured in Volkswagen beetles.

  17. Re:meh, Schrödingers bit on New Method for Random Number Generation Developed · · Score: 1

    No kidding - life was simpler back then.

    Stupid P.E.T.A.

  18. Re:Obligatory Dvorak advocacy on Pen vs. Keyboard vs. Touch vs. Everything Else · · Score: 1

    Just looked at the wiki page and 'air typed' a few sentences based on the diagram. Wow. It's amazing how much is 'right there' for you in home row (of course, I suppose that's the point).

  19. Re:when lewis and clark on Why the Uncanny Valley Doesn't Really Matter · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm a normal American of Scandinavian descent, and I speak perfect Klingon. I randomly walk up to people in the mall and start speaking it.

    Their minds are so blown by how perfect my Klingon is that they pretty much always grab their children and walk away really, really fast.

  20. Re:Battlestar; Just the 4th Season on What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next? · · Score: 1

    As much as I liked D (both her character and her dirty hotness), her suicide was one of the more memorable moments of the series for me. That's not to say that your suggestion wouldn't have been equally memorable, of course . . .

  21. Re:1 word. Niche application on Why Everyone Has High Hopes For Apple Tablet · · Score: 1

    Your sig was perfect for this comment.

  22. Re:Hackers Diet FTW. on Why Doesn't Exercise Lead To Weight Loss? · · Score: 1

    I never think 'ha, look at the beginner!', just like I never think 'ha, look at the fat lady on the treadmill!'. I think "hey, at least you're here. Good for you."

    Just so you know, any guy who is bigger than you isn't thinking about you. He's thinking about the guy bigger than him, and wondering what he thinks of him. Just like you are.

    I started lifting just under two years ago. There was some apprehension when I started, and I had the same concerns. But you gain a comfort level just from showing up regularly. It also helps to try and go around the same time of day so you typically see the same group of people. I don't really talk socially to anyone at my gym, but there is a sense of comfort being there with people from 'my shift' that isn't necessarily there when I go at an odd time.

    Show up often, mind your business, and be polite. Focus on what you're doing while you're there, and the comfort will come. And in a short time you'll be glad you took the leap.

  23. That would be a win-win-win on IT Snake Oil — Six Tech Cure-Alls That Went Bunk · · Score: 2, Funny

    When it's all said and done, that's a good day.

    Yes. This man has no dick.

  25. Room for one more, honey . . . on 50 Years of the Twilight Zone · · Score: 1

    Haven't see the episode since I was probably 8 (c. 27 years ago), but that line still gives me chills.
