But have we given you the one that goes 'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa' yet? It is a little similar to 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' but comes at it from a whole new view point. The underlying ennui holds the reader subdued yet strangely hooked.
When the denouement finally arrives it is completely shocking and yet feels timeless. I won't spoil it by saying what happens... oh, alright, it goes 'aaaa.'
It started with "A very good point. I will stick..."
Sounds filthy to me. Still, very pleased with the 'eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee' review. I would like a cryogenically defrosted De Niro to play my posts in the film version.
As indeed this will. A very good point. I will stick all my posts under a 'no commercial' license in future to stop people selling their replies. I could just add 'no derivatives' and prevent any replies at all.
Of course, if you're fed up of waiting for your information to leak back out again, you could always serve a freedom of information request upon the black hole, demanding to see all the information it hold upon you.
The hole will obviously reserve the right to black some bits out.
The response from most in the UK would be "What can I win if I take part?"
As for the current government judging if people like the amount of control in their lives, they don't need to do any surveys. They just look at all the CCTV cameras and say "Well, most people are smiling so we can assume they like what we're doing."
A release is for commercial usage of an image. Even though Google gets ad revenue they aren't directly using these images in a commercial way or selling them. Usually educational/editorial/informational type photography usage wouldn't involve a release.
Yes, it's usually better to err on the side of caution, but whether a release is actually a legal necessity here enters a tricky area of law that is getting more and more... blurry?
In seven minutes, the spacecraft must complete a challenging sequence of events to slow to about 8 kilometers per hour... Is anyone else picturing these challenging sequence of events as some engineer leaning on a red button with all his might while screeching "Brake, damn you!" at the top of his lungs?

So how else does one bridge that wretched awful gap between 'chortle' and 'guffaw'?
Hmmmmmmm,

Dear Impatient Sub-editor,
On behalf of the infinite number of monkeys, can I point out that we haven't been given an infinite amount of time yet.
Okay, so we all know that Rembrandt didn't colour in his entire canvas and just did the hands, faces and really very fiddly bits of cloth.
And authors have editors who hone and tweak their prose.
And from a conceptual point of view I genuinely am fascinated with a community-driven work of fiction...
But still, saying that the draft became solid after the help from thousands of others... doesn't that speak volumes?
But infinity being what it is they would also produce Shakespeare and thicker than blood.
You obviously wouldn't publish anything from their 'e' period.
Infinite number of monkeys = Entire works of Shakepeare.
'Tens of thousands' = Thicker than blood.
China and the Golden Shield.
James Bond in The Quantum of Solace.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
Why does everything sound like a new Harry Potter book nowadays?
I will be asking it to give me back that 's' it stole from the word 'holds' for starters.
And the preview button... where was that?

Swiss Man Flies With Jet Powered Wing?
Swiss Man Flies WITHOUT Jet Powered Wing.
Now THAT is a story.
Have you not seen all the stuff being released by the UK government today?
You naively assume everyone posting here is on Earth.
If you think our spinny disc machines are fast, wait till you see our connection speeds.
Yes, I know all that!
It was a tongue-in-cheek way of saying 'Do games really need a purpose?'
0 Troll??? Honestly! I was being mildly facetious at the very worst.
Why is this on /. exactly?
If it's 28,000 light years away then how can it only be 140 years old?
Before you mark this 'redundant' let me just point out that I was actually first to ask this question... relative to Earth's time frame.
This will, of course, become a standard caveat that people throw into conversation.
"No officer, I was only doing 55mph... relative to Earth's time frame."
(Very old woman in short dress at bar):"Me sonny? I'm only 32 years old... relative to Earth's time frame."
1. Slowly release 'evidence' of 'alien threat.'
2. Public accept more security from government.
3. ?????
4. Profit
Of course, you can always put these lists the other way round, but then you have to begin with 'Prophet.'

Maybe that's where the name idea came from...
But haven't spotted the pot of petunias yet.

Go on, flame me till I'm charcoal about it being the wrong type of whale... you know you want to
What's to stop them saying "Barrus Disappearicus" ?
I think that is a completely ignorant and gross generalisation.
You can't blame all the Japanese for Pokemon.
So...
we now know a yottapede has A LOT of legs...
but we're left wondering what a yoctopus would look like.
