    However, the grammar nazi's do bother me [...]

    *gasp*

    Three cheers for pedantry! (Yes, this is more of a joke on me than on the parent poster.)

  2. 16000 formats?!? on Archiving Digital History at the NARA · · Score: 3, Funny

    Hm. This sounds like a job for OpenOffice...

  3. "Acceptable Risk"? on Space Shuttle One Step Closer To July Launch · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's all the moose. My sister was bitten by a moose once.

  7. Different resolutions/scans on Google Adds Satellite Imagery for the World · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's a bit disconcerting to zoom out on, say, the US in satellite view, and see the whole state of New York a different color than its surroundings. This disparity is the same at all scales, presumably because of more recent satellite scans of that highly-populated and more-often-imaged area. Can they meld one region into another, without losing detail, and get rid of such effects?

  8. Re:Firefox problems? on Google Adds Satellite Imagery for the World · · Score: 1

  12. Re:I didn't think this was a big mystery. on Low-Hanging Moon Explained · · Score: 2, Funny

    Some one on some show said that if you bend over doubled and look through your legs at the moon, no matter where it is in the sky it will appear large as well for the same reason

    Dude, you're just begging to have someone mention that you're comparing the moon to your crotch. But I'll let someone else handle that (as it were).

  13. And the tape around the property read... on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 2

  21. Re:Are people really this stupid? on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 1
