What you say makes sense, but it is far more interesting to think that there are people encased in the concrete, thus that is what I choose to believe.
Naaah, what's *really* interesting is breaking down an old parking garage concrete floor and discovering a skeleton of a dragon-like beast which never existed on Earth in the first place.
With only a minority of eligible voters bothering to vote in the primaries or most elections, I'm not sure we can conclude that the system is designed to prevent that. I'd argue that voter apathy is what causes it.
Unless you can provide a study or two which indicates that the nonvoters are likely to vote in a significantly different ratio (among the candidates) than the voters, this complaint is not valid. From what little I've tracked down over the years, the political orientation of nonvoters and voters is about the same.
"NYC has the best pizza in the world,..." yes, people from NYC love to claim that.
And it's led to some of the most hilarious bits on The Daily Show. Loved it when a Chicago deep dish chef actually came out to NYC and made John taste an actual deepdish (not the dreck found in pseudo-Chicago restaurants). Or when The Donald took The Pig with Lipstick to a pizza dive and ate w/ knife and fork.
A trademark isn't just the word, it includes the color, the font, the background, etc. It's a recognizable use of a word.
eg. I can make a soda called "ColaCola", no problem.
Go ahead: try that. We'll wait. Then we'll send you flowers for your jail cell. There is this thing in trademark law about "insufficiently different" and "confusing the customer" .
I'm quite used to seeing trolls publish this sort of rot, but how the heck did it get even one upvote? Are there still people who can't understand the difference between "competing theories" and "competing theories with wildly differing levels of validity"?
In a past life, I had to deal with a third party whose E-mail server refused to allow any E-mail attachments whatsoever except Acrobat, and AutoCAD files were needed to be exchanged fairly quickly. So, when sending the DXF file, I ended up embedding it as an attachment in a password-protected PDF, and this did the trick.
You probably went to a lot of unnecessary work. Just rename your file "sekritdrawing.dxf.PDF" and it'll get past the server's filter just fine.
Apparently there's not only a "stand your ground" law but also a "Sit Your Ground" law in effect here.
Plus I heard someone threw popcorn at someone else, and if I recall my Monty Python training correctly, first you eat the popcorn,thus disarming him, then you shoot him.
And has been pointed out time and time again: Your freedom of choice ends when you demand someone else (hospital, insurance company) pay for treating your injuries should you survive a helmetless crash.
I say we need to teach the controversy that the reason we stay on the earth is because some supreme being wants us there. Birds and planes only work because when their wings are outstretched they make a holy cross.
OK, then, explain balloons and the Flying Wing aircraft! Clearly your cross-based supreme being is a fraud, and the FSM is the One True Being (not to be confused with the molpy-laden One True Thread, but I digress even deeper into metasarcasm).
As pointed out by a couple columnists a year or two ago, far more people are killed by cows than sharks. Plus it's much easier to tag all the cows than all the sharks, so let's get mooooving on this one!

I like Rand.
Oh, to be 15 again...
Me, I prefer int(rand)

Supernovas can affect the biospheres of planets within eight parsecs
Oblig: well that's farther than the time to do the Kessel Run.
Same here. Congrats. And you suck. ;-)
Wait... there's a category for people who are looking for *that* on okCupid?
I plead guilty to not knowing Chile's trademark laws. Somehow I still doubt it'll fly in TWGC (the world's greatest country)
Even worse, after accessing all those records, he logged in again as Bobby Tables and...

Explain 'Stones"
Stones: noun, obsolete: groundbreaking rock/blues group
In Soviet Russia, bees attach sensors to YOU.
It's so not-funny I can't believe nobody posted it yet.
Imagine Natalie Portman covered in hot bees with sensors...
Why do they make remake for movies that do not require remakes?
Well, there's always this one

Pregnancy is prevented the old fashioned way, pull out and splooge.
The official medical term for people like you is "parents."

Get over yourself, already.
Cardboard can be treated to make it water resistant all the way through.
But then you have to test the treated cardboard for resiliency and crush-rate...
We may be abnormally short-lived, and 3000 years might not be an unreasonable time for an explorer to spend on an epic voyage
Yep, just ask the Dwellers. (Iain Banks)
Talk about a crazy-assed prognostication! This is a ridiculously stupid question (cue the "even by slashdicetimmy standards" responses).
you might as well ask what would happen if it turned out that the number of angels that can dance on a pin turned out to be finite.
Similar has been done decades ago. The BORAX experiments for a start.
Followed more recently by the LORAX experiments, which turned out far worse. At least so far as Wall St. was concerned.
He knew what it was like long before he got that post. What was he expecting, a sudden influx of invisible pink unicorn poop?
