  1. Re:Worst thing that ever happened to music. on RIP, Electric Amplifier Inventor Jim Marshall, 'Father of Loud' · · Score: 1

    Classically trained singers are bloody loud too. That's part of the training. Stop now, will you?

    Shows how much you know. Not much.

  3. Re:Make his own? on RIP, Electric Amplifier Inventor Jim Marshall, 'Father of Loud' · · Score: 1

    Interesting. A lot of guitarists liked to play their guitars through the Fender Bassman (Surf bands in particular).

    Good one.

  5. Probably not on CBS Uses Copyright To Scuttle Star Trek New Voyages: Phase II Episode · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Probably not first post!

    That is not the 'standard of infringement'. Don't spread misinformation AC. It really doesn't help.

    Believe what you like, but the evidence that he was homosexual is very convincing.

    That's just the French you're talking about! There are plenty of other stereotypes specific to the other European nations.

    Of course Hoover was homosexual himself, so the self loathing hypocrisy he instilled in the agency is an integral part of its history.

    But what about the rest of the world? North Americans are the only ones that have creeks. I suppose streams and brooks would be useless for this?

    Tonic water also contains a lot of high fructose corn syrup, unfortunately.

  13. Don't eat the fish, whatever you do. on Science Reveals Why Airplane Food Tastes So Bad · · Score: 1
    DR. RUMACK All right, now we know what we're up against. Every passenger on this plane who ate fish for dinner will become violently ill within the next half hour.

    Oveur looks down at his dinner tray and sees skeleton of the fish he just ate.

    ELAINE Just how serious is it, doctor?

    DR. RUMACK Extremely serious. It starts with a slight fever.

    Oveur experiences what the doctor is describing.

    DR. RUMACK Then a dryness in the throat. As the virus penetrates the red blood cells the victim becomes dizzy and begins to experience a rash and itching. From there the poison works its way into the central nervous system causing severe muscle spasms, followed by the inevitable drooling. At this point, the entire digestive system is rendered useless, causing the complete collapse of the lower bowels, accompanied by uncontrollable flatulence...until finally the poor bastard is reduced to a quivering, wasted piece of jelly.

    You don't eat the closed ones. If they don't open when steamed, you chuck them away. That's my understanding.

    She may have been right, but the problem I have with this is that she thought this was a good thing!
