  1. rocket science on Orange Box In Stores Wednesday · · Score: 4, Funny

    It had to have been hard to make all those different games look like one cohesive package

    Not really, I mean, it looks like they just put them in an orange box, and named it "the orange box".

  2. obligatory on Google Hopes to Disaggregate Carriers with gPhone · · Score: 5, Funny

    The New York Times has a look at Google's plan to loosen the carriers' control over their mobile phone networks

    Let me be the first to ask... Did he happen to be hanging from telephone wire when this incident occurred?

    Yeah, it's pretty obvious this isn't true. Everyone knows Apple doesn't use Sony batteries.

  5. oops on Scientists Deliver 'God' Via A Helmet · · Score: 1

    The interrogators could have God on their side.

    They already believe that they do. That's the whole problem.

    Japanese Online Connectivity Ahead of EU/US

    Unfortunately, the "connectivity" is in the form of tentacles.

    would that be African or European?

    Huh? I-- I don't know that. Auuuuuuuugh!

  8. question on Video of Wild Crow Tool Use Caught With Tail Cams · · Score: 4, Funny

    The wireless cameras weigh just 14 grammes and can be worn by the crows without disturbing their natural behavior.

    It doesn't disturb them? What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen crow?

  9. testing methods on Spontaneous Brain Activity and Human Behavior · · Score: 3, Funny

    an article summarizing an interesting and perhaps controversial paper which finds links between spontaneous brain activity and human behavior.

    This study would have been way more exciting if they had used goatse to elicit the neural response.

  10. just curious on Super-Light Plastic As Strong as Steel · · Score: 5, Funny

    Did they invent it by talking into the mouse?

  11. Re:My wife watches too many spy moveis... on Stem Cells Change Man's DNA · · Score: 1

    My wife watches too many spy movies because all I can think is how well this would work for spies and other undercover types.

    Having a wife with a heavy interest in spy movies must make it really difficult for you to keep a girlfriend.

  12. Lumberg in space on Space Money Invented For Space Tourists · · Score: 1

    No problem, we are all in matching jumpsuits ... but why is only MY shirt red?

    I see, yes. Hmmmm, you're going to have to talk to HR about that. But, first things first, I'm going to need you to go check out that cave for dilithium deposits.

  13. hyperbole on Facebook Gets New Integrated IM Client · · Score: 5, Funny

    This is the first time that Facebook users (of which there are now some 32 million) can communicate with one another from directly within the Facebook application.

    Really? The first time they could communicate with each other? what were they doing on the site before?

  14. Re:Money is a sign of poverty. on Space Money Invented For Space Tourists · · Score: 5, Funny

    The presence of currency means the scarcity problem hasn't been solved by the civilisation, which means they are poor primitives not worth the bother of Contacting.

    And they probably don't have cool matching jumpsuits, either.

  15. local slang on Space Money Invented For Space Tourists · · Score: 5, Funny

    One QUID is equivalent to about 6.25 pounds

    So it's 6 quid per QUID? That sounds confusing.

    Linux Cananda has a Linux GPL (and commercial) POS

    Yes, well, everyone knows that Microsoft is the market leader in selling POS products.

  17. obvious on Court Puts Further Limits on Software Patents · · Score: 3, Funny

    In April, the Supreme Court handed down a patent decision making it easier for trial-court judges to call an invention "obvious" and therefore ineligible for a patent.

    Did this patent decision also make it easier for them to call an invention +5 insightful?

  18. it's patently ridiculous on IBM Ditches Outsourcing Patent · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently, it was filed eight months before they implemented more stringent reviews of their patent applications so as to avoid filing for obvious patents, especially business method patents.

    As a matter of fact, they've patented their stringent review process, and would like to take this opportunity to tout their reasonable patent review process licensing terms.

  20. Re:Summary forgot the best part! on 2007 Ig Nobel Awards Announced · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder how long before it becomes a political weapon of mass discreditation?

    Given the way things are going in the GOP, I'm guessing it will become more of an excuse.

  21. the love of technology is a harsh mistress on SAS CEO Blasts Old-School Schooling · · Score: 1

    Today's generation of kids is the most technology savvy group that this country has ever produced. They are born with an iPod in one hand and a cell phone in another.

    No, I'm pretty sure that only happens if you're raped by a robot.

  22. faulty logic. on 2.5 Mile Deep Hole Drilled Into San Andreas Fault · · Score: 4, Funny

    They've extracted over one ton of rock from 2 miles down, and they'll be installing sensors down the length of the borehole.

    I wouldn't want to be the guy who's in charge of monitoring sensory data from something called "the bore hole". that sounds like a really tedious job.

  23. ridiculous for you maybe on Verdict Reached In RIAA Trial · · Score: 5, Funny

    The amount awarded per song ($9250) is downright ridiculous

    Not many people know this, but that's the price they originally wanted to charge per song on iTunes.

  24. it's not unnecessary. on Getting Gouged by Geeks · · Score: 5, Funny

    Many techs tried to sell unneccessary software or upgrades.

  25. i keed, i keed on The New Moon Race · · Score: 1

    Why does the summary assume that the US will be the first to put men on the moon again?
