  1. Mars Immigration Department Called on Doing Internet Searches Boosts Older Brains · · Score: 1

    Mars Immigration Department called and said they would take 50. But they will not grant Kanye a travel visa under any circumstances. Probably because the Intergalactic Awards Show is coming up soon and will be hosted there.

  2. Space Travel for the common man on Doing Internet Searches Boosts Older Brains · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hey, come up with a way for the common man to go to Mars. Rich rappers like 50 Cents can pay their own way!

    I can just imagine the people replying, "We don't know you well enough for an inner join, but feel free to take either the seat to the left or the right."

  4. Brilliant Troll! on Legal War For WA State Sunshine Law · · Score: 1

    Brilliant Troll! Now that you have made your point, I would move on quickly if I were you. The locals are readying torches and acid as we speak.

  5. Could be worse on Robot Controlled By Human Brain Cells · · Score: 1

    It could think it is funny to be a ninja!

    But don't worry, the Pirates will take care of this robot either way.

  6. Bundle it with a mobile WOW killer too.. on Verizon's Challenge To the iPhone Confirmed · · Score: 1

    Hell, I bet it wouldn't take much time at all to convert Duke Nukem Forever into an MMO that runs on a mobile smart phone.

  7. College not the only education available. on Student Loan Interest Rankles College Grads · · Score: 1

    A college degree is not the only type of education available. Trade skills are still quite useful and needed. Learning general mechanics, plumbing, electrical, and other skilled trades are a valid form of education. In many cases jobs needing these skills pay as well as those requiring a college degree.

    What is lacking in the US is a good apprenticeship system. I have spent years learning about my profession without much access to people with more experience.

  8. Of course there is a University in KY on 3D Fingerprinting — Touchless, More Accurate, and Faster · · Score: 1

  9. Your Colon on Tim Berners-Lee Is Sorry About the Slashes · · Score: 1

    Are you a CS major? If so, please focus on calculus for a while, and leave the arithmetic for the mathematicians!

    "Remind me to change the password on my luggage!"

  14. Limeys on Captain Bligh's Logbooks To Yield Climate Bounty · · Score: 1

    You know the British sailors were called "Limeys" because they drank mojitos made with lime!

    So it should go like this:

    Day 176: No breadfruit. Got Rum!
    Day 177: Breadfruit. Got Rum!
    Day 178: No breadfruit. Out of Rum!
    Day 178.5: MUTINY!
