  1. Dark Matter Superstructure... on Galactic Cluster Suggests Hidden Superstructure · · Score: 3, Funny

    This I gotta see. I mean, it takes 16 weeks to build a house out of premanufactured wood components. How long do you think a galaxy took, even accounting for unionized labor?

  2. But GREAT News For... on A Flying Leap for Cars? · · Score: 1
    ... drive in theaters!

    Now they can finally start stacking customers and turning real profits!

  3. Alien3 is my second favorite .... on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    Alien is #1 by a long shot Alien3 is #2, followed closely by Aliens (Yay, destruction) AVP follows, even though I haven't seen it And Trailing Badly.... Alien Resurrection

  4. Thats Easy - Lost Highway on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    I want those 2 hours of my life back. I will actually pay to not watch that movie.

  5. He's A Happy Little Crack-Hog on A Look Back at Sonic the Hedgehog · · Score: 1

    People who spend their entire lives in fast forward and obsessing about collecting gold rings... come on, this is clearly a rip-off of Smeagol.

  6. Alien - Resurrection on What's the Worst Movie You've Ever Seen? · · Score: 1

    I mean WHAT THE HELL were they thinking? Oh my Gord... First we somehow get DNA which causes a human to grow with a DIFFERENT creature inside (and I don't know no DNA that can do that). Second, we got the DNA from the inside of a lead smelter. Third, it takes a further hundred and fifty years to get it right. Fourth, they mis-spelled the name of the company in every bloody scene. Fifth, WHAT IN THE HOLY HELL was that piece-of-crap Rex-the-Wonder-Preemie-wannabe reject fetus alien at the end? Nothing, not even the end of Akira, has made my stomach heave like that. Also, just for the record, I liked Street Fighter more than this. Honest to Gord. Street Fighter.

  7. I was going to moderat this post... on Gene Therapy Turns Slackers Into Workaholics · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... but I'm too lazy. I can't see any eventual reward I would see for doing something like that. Hey, I wonder if I can sell moderator points on eBay?

  8. My Legal Advice on Judges Junk Jailcam · · Score: 1

    Would definitely be the line from "Liar, Liar" : STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!

  9. Taking into account Wind Velocity... on Virginia Tech "Corpse Plant" To Bloom On August 4th · · Score: 1

    ... and the distance from Western Canada, I should be smelling it just about *gnnnrrrkkkk*thud*. Time of Death: 12:48pm, August 6th, 2004.

  10. Re:Toshiba Satellite on Laptops with the Longest Battery Life? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Curse you... I was about to say that. It isn't mine, but my friends Toshiba lasted for all-night goof-off sessions at Dennys after he got some free-ware power-management software. I thought it was bull but it added about 2 hours to his batteries. I'll ask him specifically what it was and try and post back here.

  11. Answer To The Largest Experiment on The World's Largest Environmental Experiment · · Score: 1

    42

  12. And if you'll notice here... on Scientists Study The Scream Of The Squirrel · · Score: 4, Funny

    ... at 31,357 Hz, it clearly means "That big thing with the bat-detector is starting to freak me out. Lets bite his nuts."

  13. Allright, everyone, to the escape pods! on Sunspot Grows to 20 Times Size of Earth · · Score: 1

    What? We only have enough escape pods for 6 people? Well, the other 5-point-something billion people will just have to hold their breaths.

  14. Re:Stupidity Breeds Freedom on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    We need more death sentences. That'll show those people recording "ER" because they have to work late!

  15. Re:Stupidity Breeds Freedom on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1
    Ok, I'll grant you that. The problem is that no nation is known for independent thought... it's individuals, or maybe small groups that are known for it.

    No nation is also known for promoting independent thought, but America is famous for trying to quash it. That, and most high school teachers.

  16. Re:Stupidity Breeds Freedom on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 1

    *applauds your willingness to insult an entire nation*

  17. Stupidity Breeds Freedom on Hatch Pushes INDUCE Act · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Proposed Timeline: BetamaX decision is overturned. VCR's, Tivo's, and all manner of electronic gizmo are now rendered illegal. The MPAA, RIAA, and their cohorts will crack down on a select few people to make an example of them. For once, a legal battle fought on the grounds of COMMON SENSE will be won in court, but probaby be overturned by judges and/or congressmen or whoever decide these things (I'm Canadian) who have all recently bought huge new boats and houses with their big anonymous donations. Maybe, just maybe, at this point, Americans will wake up and suddenly realize that their country is being run by a band of brain-dead monkeys who don't give a rip about you, your job, your dreams or your future. Of course, it could also go the other way with the final vestigal organs of independent thought being wiped out forever, or fleeing to neighboring countries. Either way, it'll stop all this arguing.

  18. Re:neither animal nor vegetable on 3-D Fossils Found in Canada · · Score: 1

    Well, you see, it gets cold in Canada... and oh so lonely... and maple syrup trees are just so warm and inviting...

  19. Just One Step Closer To Chocobos! on Woof! Dog Genome Assembled · · Score: 1

    The vehicle of the future! Back on topic, just because we can sequence genomes, how does this help to edit them for various purposes?

  20. Nuke the Whales on Plankton Can Make Clouds To Block UV · · Score: 2, Funny

    They're eating our UV protection!!!

  21. Excepts from "The Mob Goes Wild" on Fahrenheit 9/11 Discussion · · Score: 1

    Condoleeza Rice is nice, But I prefer "-A-Roni" That man on the TV who speaks to the dead You know that man's a phony. Everybody move to Canada, smoke lotsa pot Everybody move to Canada right now Here's how we do it.... Bum rush the borderguard before He or his dog ever knew it! Streets on fire THE MOB GOES WILD Streets on fire THE MOB GOES WILD!

  22. Well, now we have SilkSteel! on Amorphous Steel · · Score: 1

    And finally, those Supervillains will stop getting an armor-piercing bonus against me when I alter my physical structure. Thank you, Oak Ridge!

  23. I Totally See The Rings on Atlantis: Discovered at Last? · · Score: 0, Redundant

    But unless I am mistaken, they are too perfect, and were definitely added with a computer. I mean, some idiot posted the original photo right above it! Shyah! Right! Like we wouldn't notice!

  24. Re:They noticed WiFi is insecure? on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 1

    Well, I meant the sky in non-American, and non-American-war-torn countries. In Canada, our skies are blue, or trees are green, and our water is both!

  25. They noticed WiFi is insecure? on CNN Notices that WiFi is Insecure · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did they also notice the sky is blue?
