  1. Re:So frustrated... on Bill Gates: iPad Users Are Frustrated They Can't Type Or Create Documents · · Score: 1

    What I'm really frustrated about with the iPad is its inability to make toast or wash my clothes.

    You're holding it wrong.

  2. Well, it works for peanut butter and chocolate, so why not? ;-)

    Peanut butter makes a dreadful combo with my tablet.

    Chocolate on my tablet is not much better. Am I missing something here?

    I would like to see a Bad Motherfucker political party.

    Here is what it would entail...

    Hmm. Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter. I think you could have some real success if you asked the NRA to sponsor this party.

    At least after the heat death of the universe no one will use french for phrases that have an exact literal translation.

    At last someone has given me a reason to contemplate the heat death of the universe in a positive light.

    I know that the Mayans brewed beer and if you made a bad batch they would drown you in it.

    I bet the directors of Budweiser are glad that law isn't enforced any more.

  12. Re:It might be true but on How Beer Gave Us Civilization · · Score: 1

    Ever tried to drink nothing but beer for a week? I know a guy that did, by the end of it his teeth were loose, gums bleeding, regular blackouts, sallow skin, he was a mess. If the alcohol is strong enough to kill germs, it won't do you any good, plus as another poster pointed out it is a diuretic, you'll be thirstier by the end than when you started.

    This sounds like garbage to me. I used to work in a "hot shop" in the steel industry with guys who were forming pieces of red hot steel on presses all day. That meant that levels of perspiration were extremely high. A lot of those guys used to go out at lunch times and drink four pints of beer to rehydrate themselves then work the rest of the shift and go out afterwards and drink another 8 pints of beer. Six days a week, every week. I can assure you that although they were probably not doing their long-term health a whole lot of good, they had none of the symptoms that you describe.

    Great news.

    Now, will you give me an insight regarding "Almond Milk". I can't find almond udders - even with a magnifing glass.

    You should try coconut milk. Man, have you seen the size of those things?

    If it turns out that, on average, 95% of people who watch Top Gear are heterosexual and 95% of people who watch Glee are homosexual, if I like both it proves absolutely nothing about me.

    Also, the highest echelons of Chinese politics and business are virtually untouched by women. The standing committee has never had a woman on it. Women are given token middle management positions, but there is a hell of a glass ceiling in China.

    It can't be such a glass ceiling when Wu Yi was rated by Forbes magazine as the second most powerful woman in the world in 2004, 2005 and 2007 and the third most powerful in 2006.

    A priest asked: What is Fate, Master? And he answered: It is that which gives a beast of burden its reason for existence. It is that which men in former times had to bear upon their backs. It is that which has caused nations to build byways from City to City upon which carts and coaches pass, and alongside which inns have come to be built to stave off Hunger, Thirst and Weariness. And that is Fate? said the priest. Fate ... I thought you said Freight, responded the Master. That's all right, said the priest. I wanted to know what Freight was too. (Kehlog Albran, "The Profit")
