I don't know about crazy, but I'm certainly getting tired of all the Slashvertisements masquerading as actual stories (particularly in the video stories).
Okay, well perhaps I should change my comment to "Because very, very few cars run on natural gas?" The only sales figures I could find for the Civic CNG indicated that Honda had only sold about 1,600 of them in 2012. Promising, but not exactly commonplace.
A religious fanatic will always find *some* sign that armageddon is coming, no matter what. This just means that the whole "We've hit peak oil, now it's all downhill from here!! Doooommmm!!!" scenario is temporarily removed from their vast arsenal of doomsday scenarios. But they'll have a dozen more boogeymen to replace it with by tomorrow. You can't stop Chicken Little from being Chicken Little.
1) Men's emails are 90% more likely to include the word "balls" than women's. 2) Men are 74% less likely to ever email someone a link to an Oprah Magazine story. 3) No man has ever used the phrase "K, Luv Ya!" in an email, ever.
I've always gathered that the BBC must be a very strange place to work. They seem to act like some kind of weird fraternity/family--tough to get into, incestuous to an extreme (just look at how they've developed so many in-house actors/crew who just float from one BBC show to the next), spiteful/petty as shit if you turn your backs on them or attempt to leave, and insular to all outsiders. Not sure if it's still that way today, but it certainly seemed to be at one time.
One of the saddest loses was almost the entirety of the groundbreaking Dudley Moore/Peter Cook series Not Only...But Also. Only a few episodes survive today.
My physics professor used to laugh about how any citizen could mail-order radium (and many other radioactive elements) when he was in school. He even ordered some himself when he was a kid and played around with it. They really had no idea wtf they were playing with back then. It's amazing that Marie Curie even managed to live as long as she did, considering the cavalier attitude towards radiation even among scientists.
It's unfortunate that the BBC were so shortsighted and "recycled" the master tapes of so many great series. Of course, everyone knows the famous Monty Python story of how that series was almost lost too, but was saved by Terry Gilliam (who basically stole the tapes and put them in his attic). But very few series from that era were so lucky.
If you like breathing, thank California. Also thank California for acting as the trial for these problems. Los Angeles proved what happens if you don't have a strong EPA
Or alternatively, go to Bejing and breathe deep if you want to see what the U.S. would be like if the EPA and emissions standards had never happened.
U.S. Copyright law stipulates that copyrighted works only fall into the public domain when Disney runs out of money to bribe Congress for another extension.
Hey, lighten up. Would you rather be discussing a story on Oracle's latest earnings report, or a Slashvertisement for some new "revolutionary" piece of tech that's never going to materialize?
Actually, sometimes I look at comments on FoxNews just for fun. Something like this will probably have a good cross-section of commenters claiming:
A) Black helicopters were spotted in the area beforehand B) Barack Husein Obama staged the whole thing himself for sympathy, no doubt using his Muslim Atheist friends C)...and this is why we need to get rid of government and taxes.

Also, the Queen said "no". We really wanted to tell you and all, but she was kind of a bitch about it.

Well, looking at DC today,, I don't see a lot of difference from "Idiocracy". . . .
The problem is that we don't have President Comacho to get people's shit straight.

Why are we still paying $3.50/gal for gasoline?
Because cars don't yet run on natural gas?

More likely, future generations will ask "What the hell is 'NASA'?"
Appreciate, as always, Apple's asshole attitude.

He had inside help from an unnamed source (the same guy who warned him that they were about to be recycled).
So, Apple removed an app that allows users to bypass the Chinese walled garden from their devices, that are restricted to Apple's walled garden?
I loved Mr. Fusion's "Gas, Grass, or Trash" superbowl ad campaign. Very clever.

Only in the UK. Come to the U.S. if you want to live forever.

In the real world, Shuttles are destroyed by funding cuts.

And if movies have taught me anything, it's that most cars will go up like a hydrogen bomb with just a single pistol shot from the hero. Very unsafe!
schedule Jaws 19 to be a summer blockbuster.
Easily the toughest item on the list.

Somewhere in Australia, Angus Young just found a new album title.
