  1. Best Part on Britons Unconvinced on Evolution · · Score: 1

    "but we're all well educated athiests so I guess that's to be expected."

    And the best part was evolving that third arm just for patting yourself on the back for being so nifty.

  2. Re:Breaking news... on 3D Realms Buys Physics For Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 1

    The proper term is "Elvish".

  3. Re:Not too impressive or that important, really on Alien Atmosphere Hubbled · · Score: 1

    I think that was obvious from the initial bringing up of bourbon in my post, fool!

    Oh, and congratulations on being alive for moon walking. It's always nice to know you seniors can learn new skills like these computers after you're past your point of usefulness.

    (hit the wrong key, continuing last message)

    ....since NASA decided it was only in the job of sattelite placement and those experiments that can be completed in 2 weeks or so tops.

    To this day it pisses me off no end that no-one has ever stood on the moon in my lifetime.

    Oh for any real long range exploration!

    First off, "Jovian"! Thanks, that's the word my bourbon addled mind was looking for!

    Unfortunately, I think our real best hope for deep exploration is in private hands since NASA

  6. Not too impressive or that important, really on Alien Atmosphere Hubbled · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I can't really say I'm suprised. Most planets detected outsided our solar system are massive giants anyway, so one would assume that they were Jupiter-ish. These planets would most likely be gas giants anyway, so this seems more a confirmation of common sense than any breakthrough.

    I mean, it's cool, but when they find a small, water based world with an atmosphere, then I'll get excited. As for now I'll just shrug and say, "figures".

  7. Amtrak *IS* government. on Keeping DEA In The Loop About Amtrak Travelers · · Score: 1

    Big deal. Amtrak *IS* the government. It's a government run monopoly of passenger train service after the federal government destroyed private passenger trains. So they are in a deal with the DEA? It's the same as if the DEA was in a deal with the CIA. Gubment is gubment is gubment. Oh, and that boycott idea: as I said, Amtrack is a M-O-N-O-P-O-L-Y. There is no other train option. Your next option is to drive. That some think the solution to this problem is to put more cars on the road...well, that's comedy, folks!
