    Ooohh! Oohh! I know this one!

    Batman! It's Batman, right? It's gotta be.

    Psh. Everyone knows that when the dead rise, you call Ash. He can usually be found in housewares.

    When I die, I plan to have a bot that pretends to be me maintain communications with all the "internet randoms" I know. If the bot gives odd responses to their comments, they'll probably just assume I'm drunk.

    +1, Rube Goldberg

  4. Re:Case 4 on Should We Clone a Neanderthal? · · Score: 1

    HULK SMASH!!

    Neanderthals were physically MUCH stronger than homo sapiens. They're built like tanks. It would certainly take at least several people to bring one down (without using weapons, of course).

    If Mr. Neanderthal Clone is actually much smarter than us, I say train him (or her) in several martial arts disciplines and turn them loose. They'd be unstoppable :-)

    Of course, if they really were smarter/stronger, they'd probably be the ones talking about cloning extinct homo sapiens.

  6. Chinese underground on Relentless Web Attack Hard To Kill · · Score: 4, Funny

    Is it like Big Trouble in Little China, with the lightning ninjas and floating eye thing? Did they get Kurt Russel to help?

    If so, that would be AWESOME.

  7. Re:Immunity reason for aging on AIDS Virus Now Estimated To Be 100 Years Old · · Score: 1

    What I mean is, creatures like sharks, the crock family, turtles(?) have such fierce immune systems (ie molecular acid for blood) that they can afford to live basically forever.

    So that's why I always get terrible heartburn after eating turtle soup. Thanks! That clears up my gastrointestinal mystery.

  9. Re:Any DRM? on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    Maybe bring a few of your American DS carts and see if they'll let you try them in the store prior to purchase?

  10. Re:Backwards Compatibility for Money on New Nintendo DSi Announced · · Score: 1

    One thing I like about the Wii's Virtual Console is that N64 games look better. They run at twice the resolution (640x480 instead of the N64's 320x240). They still look dated, of course, but the graphics are cleaner. I've been having a lot of fun with Super Mario 64 on my Wii.

    The Soviets are going to go after Sarah Palin's Facebook page next. They don't want it known that "Vladimir Putin, Sultan of Love" friended Palin.

    How long until we can simulate the entire brain?

    And when this simulation claims to be conscious, what do we make of that?

    Indeed, the first Conan movie is a classic. Superb soundtrack. I still listen to it once in a while.

    But the second Conan movie is pretty forgettable. It's probably a good thing the original plan of making 10 or 12 of them was abandoned.

    That's odd. I've had VOD since I got Comcast 3 years ago, and they even gave me a new DVR box a few months ago when the old one was having problems. The 30-second-skip button still works great.
