If I'm out driving somewhere, and I see a truck with a ramp at its rear, I have to stop myself from thinking "Ooh, I should drive up that for a stunt bonus!" Dangerous.
Can't remember the exact statistic, but it's significant (e.g., 25% or 50% I think) - anyway, it's said that 25%+ of all material in newspapers and sources like that linked are the work of publicity companies. This is a prime and obvious example. That/. approved it for the front page is pretty crap IMO.
I spotted "Jellyfish in Spicy Curdled Blood" alongside the deer and camel penis dishes in Beijing. Didn't give it a shot, but had their hottest rated chilli cashew chicken in which the sauce looked like lava - I swear if they had have turned off the lights, this dish would've visibly glowed - it was quite hot.
I played these audio files on my laptop, and my cat woke up and started sniffing excitedly around the room until he'd narrowed the source down to the little speakers on the front of the laptop. Then, getting confused when he couldn't associate the sound with the correct smell, he looked at me and meowed for help.
Makes me wonder if mouse songs are familiar to cats?
If they're trying to give you a free offer, insist on paying for it. Say that you like paying for things and that you've got two months to live and a friend challenged you to spend all of your money before you die.
It's usually an intro to a funny conversation and a very excited telemarketer!
Can you (or someone else) recommend a place to buy cheap photo paper? If it's in Australia, even better.
I bought a photo printer the other day for the hell of it (USD$75 or so) and realised I had no intention of paying $1/sheet for Canon/HP paper, but didn't know which brands or locations were best.
So far I have printed all of one photo. AU$99 for one photo. Hmmm...:P
The only thing that could be done to curtail this practice would be to require single-purpose bills that can't be loaded full of non-related crap.
It seems to me that the only time bills are attached to others, is to aid their passage when they would have otherwise not succeeded. Can someone tell me what advantages exist in allowing this and, if none, why it hasn't changed.
It just comes across, to me as someone foreign to the system, to be a really dodgy way to get things done.

I agree. I expected it to be lame but laughed in a few parts even though many of the jokes were predictable.
Without RFID, your situation would just completely sack.
Sorry!
He referenced the "bulging veins" on his favourite male character. Wake up people!
I wonder how much Norton paid Google for this opportunity?

I think that Firefox is a more viable alternative for IE than Linux is for Windows.
I think my Inspiron 8600 is 15.4" and runs at 1920x1200.

He'll be president of his country soon...
I can confirm this through real-world experience. I have a large tattoo of a lesser weasel across my chest, and no one has ever stolen me.
True. Real scientists rely on the Brainiacs segment "Tina Turner with a Bunsen Burner" for their knowledge...

Maybe Taco has Batten disease. ;)
In the episode based on Troy, Homer eats Lenny and Carl because a mysterious potion causes him to visualise them as pigs.
Anyone got some intergalactic medicine for their server?
Personally, I'm waiting for "Snakes on a Plane: The Musical"...

Man 1: So, what do you do for a crust?
Man 2: I don't shower for a few days.
I know you've gone for a more extreme contrast to present your point, but how about just likening it to the graffiti it is?
It's art or a bragging opportunity to some, but it's an absolute nuisance to the majority of people.

Easy!

That's gold!
