You do know that pokemon has Toki Pona beat since it only has three words! Pika! Pika-pi! Pikachu!
For other linguists I would suggest the language of Marklar which has a relatively small vocabulary made up of articles, pronouns and the word "marklar".
Per speakers of Klingon, I heartily recommend suicide. That goes for both of you.
My father's business used to have a rotary phone with a lock that went through the fingerhole making it impossible to dial. I hope that's how they kept kids from making outbound calls because kids today would have to be remarkably stupid not to realize spinning a dial would be akin to pressing a button. Smacks of the apocryphal story I heard about an engineer weeping at Bell Labs in Murray Hill because he didn't know how to change a lightbulb. For you kids out there, you can make calls on a telephone if it doesn't have a dial or a touchpad (or if they're disabled) by simply treating the hang-up mechanism like a telegraph. It takes a bit longer and there's a chance all the rattling will draw attention but it is possible.
You bet your bippy the poor or the folks who live paycheck to paycheck pay out the nose for a crappy five hundred dollar loan. 782% APR (or more) is considered okay because these are short term loans not long term loans and the issuing bank has to turn a profit. Still these rates are usurious considering the payback of a 500 dollar loan through County Bank of Rehoboth Beach paid back at the minimum will entail you paying nearly three times what the original loan was taking the rule of thumb given by processing centers of thirty dollars per hundred, refinancing just for the fee the first four times but having to pay fifty dollars towards the principle at the very least on the fifth refinance. Of course if you want to save money, pretend you have one of these payday or short term loans because you'll end up better off in the end.
Do not forget that it's always been mentioned in the Dune novels that Duncan Idaho has epicanthic folds in addition to having black hair and a taste for General Tso's cat.
But if we moderate stories as to whether they appear on Slashdot or Slashdot's front page then we'd be no better than Kuro5hin!!! Think of the children!
The person on the other end of the cellphone isn't paying attention to your driving or road conditions since their health and well being is not your responsibility. The passenger that you're speaking with is going to look at the road now and again and alert you to dangers or other things you really should be concentrating on instead of talking your fool head off. It's not about how many hands are on the wheel but how aware you are of your surroundings.
LDS, a joke from Star Trek IV: Save the Whales where Kirk said Spock did a little too much LDS back in college or the sixties when the audience knew he meant LSD.
John K. was the reason why Ren and Stimpy was no longer aired on television. Halfway through Ren and Stimpy's run he started to butt heads with Nickelodeon management because of the content of the cartoon and more importantly the fact he was taking forever to create new episodes. That's why he no longer did Ren's voice and was only listed as a creator in the credits. Ren and Stimpy was funny for the first few episodes but one would realize that John K. only had a few good ideas. The only shows I've seen that "ripped off" Ren and Stimpy have been Nickelodeon cartoons. Like the neanderthal, Ren and Stimpy were a dead-end.

Didn't Edgar in Electric Dreams already invent these?
You are thinking of Sealand. Here's an interview with the owner of HavenCo which provides (provided?) offshore servers.

Hooray, our solar system is finally metric!
Does this mean that Keanu will be subject to the Superman curse if he accepts the role? His last name does maintain the pattern.

Farscape on HBO means one thing:

How come this is modded as "funny" but the previous post of "He's dead, Jim" is considered a "troll"?
