I thought cycling was a means of transportation. Of course where I live now its not suited for cycling for 6 months of the year (too cold, and icey) or another 3 months (too hot) and since I can walk to work in less then 20 minutes there is no real advantage.
"Yes, but full contact golf would be too much like grass hockey, AKA rugby"
WTF
Grass hockey and rugby are completely different sports, and botht are played in the land I was born in Hockey has sticks and a small round ball. Rugby has a large oval ball, kinda lake american football, without tha armour and no forward passes. High school hockey is played onreal grass, not astroturf. It must be about time for rugby season, both Union and League. Go All Blacks
" For me, it falls into the same categorization as bowling, darts, and billiards."
If you don't consider darts a sport, what about archery, or the shooting competitions that involve firearms? I consider them to be 'sports'
OTOH I consider figure skating and rhythmic gymnastics to be 'art' not 'sport'. (if the score is subjective, rather than measured with a stopwatch or a ruler then its an art.
What they need to do is build refineries in North Dakota, where there is plenty of oil, and also natural gas to power them. We don't want all the refining capacity of the nation to be in the Gulf where it could be all shut down by a hurricane. (stronger and more frequent due to climate change)
How about we use the nuclear reactor that is already undergound (in the center of the earth.) That natural reactor has kept the mGM molten for more than 6 bi;;ion years, we are not going top run out of that energy any time soon.
There was a british nuclear sub involved in the search for MH370 I don't know if its still on the case, given that no more pings have been heard, and they expect the batteries of the black boxes to have run out by now. A nuclear attack sub has good passive sonar, great for detecting other sound, but not useful at looking at the ocean bottom for wreakage.
The other term that is out of place is 'civilization' when refering to copper jewelery.
Also, the fact that these bodies were preserved might have something to do with the coldness of the location, (like froaen mammoth carcasses found also in siberia)

"Wake me up when it can identify a criminal in a joker mask."
You don't need a computer for that, everyone knows the Joker is a criminal.
Wasn't this yesterdays news?
How is that going to work with something the size of a phone?
Unless you've got micro-waldos to fiddle with it.
It might be good for splitting wood, but not so good for splitting hairs
I'd rather have a 'Darth Maul' (double ended lightsabre)
I seem to remember something about George Washington's axe (you know the one he used to chop down the cherry tree)
Lunar golf would be an interesting, but very expensive sport.
"Well, as the Volvo Ocean Race showed, you can make sailing a lot more fast paced"
Ocean racing sailing a Volvo? I guess I missed that episode of Top Gear
The recent Americas Cup showed some very fast sailboat racing, and a lot of hi-tech stuff.
Those guys have to be fit, especially the grinders.
Theres also the Whitbread Round the world race that attracts a lot of media coverage and money.
I don't think sail boat racing is a dying sport.

"Golf is about getting your balls into the hole in as few strokes as possible. It's as simple as that."
Cue the jokes about Tiger Woods off course activities...
I suppose someone is going to complain that the sports involving horses (horse racing, showjumping, polo) aren't real sports either.
Ob Easter
That reminds me, don't they call A Golf a Rabbit in the US market
or has VW stopped selling them in North America

'This idea of contra revenue is foreign to us,'
So they won't be selling weapons to Iran then
"A english major has very limited problem solving training and have little use in a environment such as Google."
Even someone who has passed High School level English knows it should be An English major.
Tsar Vladimir has a couple million soldiers with automatic weapons firing 5.45x39 rounds, I think those would be more effective than marshmallows.
What they need to do is build refineries in North Dakota, where there is plenty of oil, and also natural gas to power them.

Do you expect a Slashdot headline to make sense?
I don't wear a wristwatch you insensitive clods
(I do have one around my neck on a lanyard along with a flashlight when I am at work)
Monospaced font for numbers, so they can line up in a column

Titanic ran into an iceberg, the iceberg didn't chase after the Titanic. There hasn't been any record of icebergs coming into port and sinking ships.
Subs are designed to sink.
Its part of their mission.

"Terror Train has Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing as archeologists bringing back a mummy from China via train through Siberia. Then, it wakes up."
What wakes up? Siberia? China? Or the train...
