Ah, but your RFID-laden clothing also has dynamic self-preservation technology that alters magazine content to keep you from seeing news about the activities of those terrorists who go anywhere without being questioned! Problem solved!
If I wanted to move to a frozen wasteland with a bunch of heavily armed blog-fags with egos big enough to kill a man from 80 yards I'd just saw my balls off with a rusty bottlecap and get the experience without the trouble of moving.
Even though this is a completely insane analogy, you do pay for someone else to guard the streets on the internet. They just decided to use that money to make you give everyone your phone number.
No fucking kidding. They could pick any convention center in the area, but no, they just plop their fat asses down right in the middle of the goddamn island. I'm not even touching the car for at least a week on either side of that freakshow. Luckily it's also free entertainment, otherwise I'd be pissed.
Sure. There's no decent evidence for it, but it's entirely possible. Buddhism had been around for 500-odd years and the trade routes going east did head pretty much straight through Israel. The only really good evidence is some really early gnostic-ish stuff that talks about Jesus spending a lot of time studying out east early on and getting as far as Pakistan.
More likely, though, just as the Roman Catholic wing of Christianity tried to merge as much as possible with Greek/Roman paganism, Christians in Iran tried to absorb Buddhism.
Superman's a dumbass. Capitalist bastard would be trying to get everybody to make friends while Batman's hooking up Green Arrow with some kryptonite arrowheads.
That would depend on whether or not he's actually corporeal enough to bite anybody. He apparently has to have an angel move the rock to get out of the tomb, but then he gains the ability to shape-shift and teleport, since no one recognizes him until he lets them and he moves in and out of locked rooms without much trouble. Based on that, his powers seem more along the lines of Michael Meyers from Halloween. Mike can fake death pretty capably, and he certaintly can move from one end of a hallway to another without covering any of the intervening distance. Mike is easily recognizable, but since hockey masks weren't invented yet in the first century, maybe the recognizing issue is just a matter of the disfigurement from the extended beatings and stabbings and killings.

Hell yeah. I think we can all agree you'll probably be able to build a computer smarter than any astronaut into a Palm Pilot before getting to Mars costs less than $100 a pound, so why are we all saying human space travel is innevitable? What ought to be innevitable is leaving the whole thing up to robots.
If you want people on Mars, or even just good science done there, I think you're way better off putting your work into building an autonomous bunker-building, concrete-mixing, block-stacking machine to build you a nice, permanent HQ.

I've voulenteered for the DNC, it's funny because it's true. You could say the same thing about the RNC I guess, but it's still fucking funny. You sit in a strip mall answering phones for a week for either one and you'd better believe you'll have conversations that make you feel like you work for the fucking Illuminati or some shit.
Yeah, that's a laugh. We're living supply ship to supply ship here, and the genetically engineered lichen aren't doing shit. When I can go outside naked without blowing blood vessels in my eyes and/or getting arrested then we can start thinking about going self-sufficient.

they could use some Texas "know how" in addressing their multi-lingual issues

Best. Analogy. Ever.

you wont see any sign of human habitation for twenty miles in every direction, except the rutted dirt road you drove in on.
Ok, that's horrifying. Note to self: never cross Mississippi.
We'd all be a lot happier if we just ran around naked in Nigeria somewhere eating berries.
Yeah, I bet you liked Armageddon too.
Mel Gibson hasn't done anything worth watching since Lethal Weapon 2.

God's been in Washington long enough to take both sides on just about every issue.

Batman could take both of them.

Fuck. I knew California was another planet.
Uh huh, but we still think all the shitty cars they built before the Model T were a waste of time.

No, see, by "make the world a better place" we mean "kill all humans". It's all in the Robert McNamara Foreign Policy Dictionary.
