  1. Re:I agree but there are reasons why we use mice on Drug Testing In Mice May Be a Waste of Time, Researchers Warn · · Score: 1

    Plus let's not forget this: World's Scientists Admit They Just Don't Like Mice.

    "As a man of science, I deal with facts, and the fact is that mice are gross," said Dr. Douglas White, chair of the Oxford biogenetics department and lifelong mouse-hater. "They're squirmy, scurrying little vermin, and they make my skin crawl. I speak for all of my assembled colleagues when I say that the horrible little things deserve the worst we can dish out."

    Remember: there's a seeker born every minute!

    Avoid eye contact. If there are no eyes, avoid all contact.

  3. Re:Australia on Pepsi To Release New Breakfast Mountain Dew · · Score: 1

    So there's a Kickstart for Kick Start? I'm drinking my own personal kick start (tea and a scone) and would enjoy it greatly if /. kept us up to date on Kick Start Kickstarts; Kick, Start...kick start, kickstart.

  4. Re:What now? on Pope To Resign Citing Advanced Age · · Score: 1

    Maybe TFA has some critical detail about him being replaced by an iPope.

  5. Re:No, it shouldn't on Should the Start of Chinese New Year Be a Federal Holiday? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In medieval times the calendar was packed with holidays, about one per week IIRC. Seems like that would've been a good way to blow off some steam, eh? Most of these are only historical curios now. I'd be for bringing those back, or secular equivalents, rather. Starting with Festivus, of course. Feats of Strength!

  6. Re:Initial Results... on Curiosity Rover Collects First Martian Bedrock Sample · · Score: 1

    There's a Burns Formation on Mars; maybe the exogeologists are Simpsons fans?

    Zoom in far enough and you can see the "Craft Services" stamp. Damn lazy grips.

  8. Re:Why do we still flare ? on In 2011, Fracking Was #2 In Causing Greenhouse Gas In US · · Score: 1

    It's too expensive to build lines to port off the gas. It's even more expensive to ship it off in bobcat trucks. The US still has ceilings on how much gas can be flared so the companies resort to that. It used to be much much worse btw, even in municipal areas with drilling like Los Angeles you would have areas that never experienced darkness owing to all the flaring going on. NG was just too low value a product.

    You forgot to put on the sunglasses first.

  13. Re:tl;dr? on How To Stop Prediction Market Manipulation · · Score: 2

    I was going to comment that someone would post tl;dr, but in doing so I would manipulate my own prediction, thus leading to a comment section without any such posting from another slashdotter. Wouldn't want to do that. Or become your own grandfather. Ick.

    The key is to grab life by the hojos!

  15. Re:Toxic level on Why It's So Hard To Predict How Caffeine Will Affect Your Body · · Score: 1

    Should people be smoking fancy cigars instead? Why don't you smoke it already? Puff, puff! Go, go, go, go, go!

  19. Re:Sounds like a movie plot on How the Super Bowl Will Reach US Submarines · · Score: 1

    They sent us Celine Dion and Justin Beiber. I think that counts as a declaration of war.

    Someone sent us up Da Bomb.
