  1. They should bowlderize it on 'Mein Kampf' To Be Republished In Germany · · Score: 1

    Replace every instance of Jew with Oompaloompa

  2. Oh yeah? on NASA Unveils Greenest Federal Building In the Nation · · Score: 1

    Is it #00FF00?

  3. Pot meet kettle on Magician Suing For Copyright Over Magic Trick · · Score: 1

    Penn and Teller revealed secrets of tricks in many of their shows and televised specials. Not really getting why Teller's all bent out of shape and claiming copyright. Did the duo get permission from other magicians to reveal their stunts to audiences which makes it okay?

  4. okay they won on Australian WiFi Inventors Win US Legal Battle · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's next? Crocodile Dundee doing a commercial for CSIRO saying "That's not a wireless router. THAT'S a wireless router."

  5. Linus is on Google Plus? on Torvalds Calls OpenSUSE Security 'Too Intrusive' · · Score: 1

    Use birdsong as a soundtrack for a slideshow of self-shots taken by a monkey.

  7. Meaningless on Mathematical Parrot Reveals His Genius With Posthumous Paper · · Score: 1

    The bird doesn't have an Erdos number!

  8. Re:Three year old book review? on Book Review: The Windup Girl · · Score: 1

    For one reason or another, The Windup Girl won a Nebula and a Hugo. One would assume the book is 'notable' even by Wikipedia standards.

    It's not even like The Windup Girl flew beneath everyone's radar and Aidan's declaring "ZOMG Y U NO REED TIHS!!!" As it's been stated elsewhere this is just a slashvert.

  9. Re:Good book, but has some holes on Book Review: The Windup Girl · · Score: 0

    Oryx and Crake has more rape fulfilling Atwood's sick dystopian fantasies.

    Also Atwood doesn't write science fiction. You won't find any squids or rocketships in Oryx and Crake. Squids and rocketships are mainstays of science fiction like busty women being eaten by squids aboard a superluminal rocketship.

  10. Three year old book review? on Book Review: The Windup Girl · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Windup Girl came out in September 2009 and now you're getting around to reviewing it?

    Let me tell ya, there's an awesome book by this guy named Bob Heinlein. He named it "The Moon is a Harsh Mistress" and I heard it's pretty good. I'd better get cracking on that review before it's too late!

  11. Woo! Hey India!!! on Indian Court Orders Google To Remove Content · · Score: -1, Troll

    Krishna sucks cock and Ganesh's asshole smells like day-old curry!

    Try getting all Ghandi on my candy-ass, you cock smoking teabaggers!

  12. Re:Par for the course on How Will You React To Twitter's Regional Censorship Plan? · · Score: 1

    I bet you don't watch television and make sure everyone knows about it too.

  13. Re:A flicker of light. on Three Tiny Exoplanets Suggest Solar System Not So Special · · Score: 1

    Red stars are cool stars. Since they're red they work at longer wavelengths. Less light is reflected by potential water/ice/snow on the planet surface and kept as heat. Habitable zones of red stars is much larger than other types of stars.

  14. Yeah, so? on JRR Tolkien Denied Nobel Due To Low Quality Prose · · Score: 1

    It's elves, dwarves and fucking wizards from a bedtime story for children.

    Who is expecting Faulkner let alone G.K. Chesterton? Popularity and longevity is award enough for Tolkein.

  15. Re:My daughter was extremely upset as well. on Why Google Is Disabling Kids' Gmail Accounts · · Score: 1, Funny

    If only Google took such swift and decisive action on everyone who has a pony avatar.

  16. Re:Friggen finally on TSA Facing Death By a Thousand Cuts · · Score: 3, Informative

    Also stfu.

  19. Yay! We can download engine-tones! on Hybrids Safer In Crashes — Except For Pedestrians · · Score: 1, Funny

    I want mine to be nyancat!

    Looking forward to reports of women crashing their cars and killing pedestrians and cyclists while downloading Adele as their idling noise.

  20. Re:And in the US on In the EU, Water Doesn't (Officially) Prevent Dehydration · · Score: 5, Insightful
  21. Re:You can't just grow the meat on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    Because chicken is the only meat known to mankind since everything tastes like it.

  22. You can't just grow the meat on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    The meat won't have the right texture or flavor as meat off-the-bone. Part of the flavor comes from the animal using its body, exercising and consuming foods which contribute to the whole meat experience. In-vitro meat is the first step, now they have to figure out how to prepare it before it goes to market.

  23. Re:Marketing and user experience on How Android Phone Makers Are Missing the Marketing Boat · · Score: 0

    > It's because Android devices are marketed for nerds, by nerds. And nerds don't understand marketing or user experience. You can see it with Linux.

    Which is why every one of the last ten years has been hailed as the year of the Linux desktop.

  24. Re:Proper methods of measurement only please! on Things That Turbo Pascal Is Smaller Than · · Score: 1

    Had you not provided that link, I would've assumed you were referencing Jimbo Wales not Cymru. Whereupon a Wales would be a standard measure of the amount of data space taken up by Wikipedia being a fraction of the Library of Congress unit.
