  1. Re:But.. on Science 'Not for Normal People' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, because if there's anything that will draw teenagers to science, it's emphasizing all the HARD WORK. Brilliant.

  2. Re:But.. on Science 'Not for Normal People' · · Score: 2, Funny

    If teenagers say so, it must be true!

    Come morning, I close the windows to keep that cool air inside and the worm air outside.

  8. Re:Small-Government Republican Congress on Congress Pays You $3 Billion to Keep Watching TV · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but Iraq is much more gripping and realistic than HDTV. You get what you pay for, you know?

  9. Geez... on NASA Puts A Stop To Space Romance · · Score: 5, Funny

    No space sex? Why the hell am I wasting my time at astronaut school, then?!

    My guess would be Zeus.

  12. Re:Great! a battle over hot air: CO2 vs astrophysi on Climatologists Wager on Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I hate the damn western CO2 conspiracy. It seems like whenever I hear a western scientist speak, everything that comes out of his mouth is carbon dioxide.

    Congratulations! You have no sense of humor. Have a nice day!

  18. Re:alternate vitamin D sources on Sunscreen Not So Good for You? · · Score: 1

    So you'll be pale white and your breath will smell of fish. It's an evolutionary wash: you may live for a long time, but your chances of procreating will surely diminish.

  19. Re:Input Devices on Eastern Ink Painting on a Computer · · Score: 1, Funny

    Perhaps this is what you're looking for.

  20. Re:nazi police state on Britain to Pilot GPS Speed Governors · · Score: 1

    Because driving like a maniac is a fundamental human right! Those who sacrifice convenience to gain a little security deserve neither! You'll get my radar detector when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

  24. Re:In other words on Pentagon Creating A Database Of Students · · Score: 1
    Yes, because for poor kids in depressed areas, joining the military is clearly the worst possible option. Because usually poor high school kids have lots of job opportunities and/or money to go to college. And obviously they don't have enough decision-making skills and willpower to resist those slick military recruiters who are, as we wealthy people know, working against their better interests.

    I can't believe that was modded insightful. If only there was a "-1, condescending and willfully blind to reality."
