  1. Here's what'll happen. on Russia Wants to Launch Manned Mission to Mars · · Score: 0

    We'll cut a deal with the Russians and go.
    We'll land. Leave the ship, look around like Chevy Chase at the Grand Canyon, notice that we've squashed a giant mars cockroach with the big pad feet of the lander. Scoop some dirt, scrape up the bug and collect 5 of his living friends, get back in the lander - take off, come home.

    PETA hires Johnny Cochran to represent the Mars Cockroaches and they are soon dubbed 'the Mars 5' in the press. Cochran sues for immediate release of the 'Mars 5' and compensation (with a small contingency fee). A long trial where Cochran uses the catch-phrase "For Mars to have peace, you must release!" ends with the 'Mars 5' being released to the care of their lawyer (the closest thing to a relative on Earth). After making the talk show rounds - 'That's right Dave - we do everything together' - the Mars 5 write a book, appear in cameo roles in the film written by Joe Eszterhas made from the book and the movie is universally panned. The 5 soon run out of money and fame and decide to do what comes naturally and breed. Soon the Earth is covered with Mars cockroaches. They defeat all attempts at eradication that range from large 'hotels' that the roaches soon learn not to go into ('cause - they don't come out...) to the hydrogen bomb (which just makes them feel 'all tingly'). Mankind is slowly eliminated except for lawyers, certain politicians and internet telemarketers who the cockroaches feel a kinship with.

    I don't think we should go if you ask me.

  4. Re:Mac OS at great value on New Amiga Hardware Runs Mac OS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    3 times better...
    Then why did Amiga fail?
    And can someone please tell me why this ghost still haunts?

    Really! I'm not being facetious. What is on the minds of the Amiga people besides fond memories? Please educate me (sincerely).

    or no.

  11. The first Palladium virus name'll be? on Microsoft's 'Palladium' Privacy/DRM Scheme · · Score: 1

    It's sadly the thing that the Public deserves
    for failing to notice the master it serves,

    There's one that sit-rocks with barely a chin
    and one insane monkey with really bad skin

    They both have a vision that covers the globe,
    with Bond villian schemes and the patience of Job

    They're planting the seeds and the crop they will grow
    is money for nothing unless we say Whoa!

  12. the origin of Commander 'Taco' on CmdrTaco: The MacHack Keynote · · Score: 2, Funny

    He has a Sims world full of lesbians - that kill men - that he 'commands'.
    There you go! - The Real origin of his name... I hope he's got more substance to him than he demonstrated. If that's all there is to him, it's kind of sad. I hope he was drunk (the troll comments are a little disconcerting).
