I can already picture the outcome of such a test:
Monday afternoon: Hey, a Am-I-a-terrorist-or-not-quiz!
Monday afternoon + 5 minutes: Ah, appearently I'm not a terrorist at all.
Monday Evening: Hey, the neighbours across the street bought a new black van!
Monday Night: Excuse me mister Totaly-dressed-in-black-carrying-a-big-gun-and-poi nting- it-at-me why are you in my bedroom?
Tuesday morning: Damn hot here in Guatumala Bay.

For some reason links with the form of xxxxSE.CX terrify me. Strangely I can't remember why...
Oh wait... oh no the images came back! Oh the pain, the pain!
Actually, when they start they aren't heavy enough. But each time they find a mine, they get food. So after a certain number of mines, the rats will be heavy enough and then: Rat-burgers!
It's an ancient device used to record moving pictures. Those devices used a sort of tape with little magnets on it to record those moving pictures. Altough it could play and record, it was low quality and the tape needed to be rewinded after watching a movie. Ofcouse no one still uses these ancient devices and you're unlike to ever see one of these outside a museum or your grandparents home.
Today we use DVD to see and record our programs and movies. Could you believe there was a time when you didn't got houres of useless extras when buying a movie?
They don't deserve to die, they deserve a fate far worse than mere death. Make them delete every spam mail they've ever send.
It's like chinese water torture: the first 100 drips don't hurt, but eventualy it drives you crazy.
Right, you just want an excuse to send young men on a deathly and pointless adventure to bring you an useless artifact lost centuries ago because no one really cared about it, just to tell them their immortality is in another castle.
Improving the genetic pool of the human species through genocide is frowned upon. But what about improving it via granting virtual immortality to those who have traits we want to encourage. Giving them the opportunity to have offspring, after offspring after offspring.
Would that be a brave new world to live in? I wouldn't mind seeing people maintaining the genepool, but I sure hope we first make corruption a capital crime. Else the future will be full with countless copies of Bush Jr and simular.
And for those who would reply with "being rich is a trait we want": Do you really thing that Daddy Richguy isn't going to buy a few politicians to give junior immortality too? Even if junior is a waste of carbon.
However now I believe that my generation could be one of the last to enjoy the good life on Earth.. at least until some of these problems get resolved, if they can be.
I wouldn't worry. Over the course of history there were plenty of empires that rised up and fell into ruins. There was always a new empire to replace it, usualy seperated by a few centuries of babarism. Perhaps in a few decades/centuries it's our turn to vanish. I suggest we start building the Foundation and prepare for the coming of the barbarians.
Nah, I think the US gov should employ more people who can barely write. Misspelled words won't match the word lenght of the correctly spelled word. Using creative grammar would make it harder to find the right word type. And random punctuation would make it harder to find seperate sentences.
Combined we get security through ignorance.
I certain hope this is a passing farce. For the moment I'm still save for this kind of madness (thanks to the waterouse body between America and Europe), but these are things than eventualy get copied by the EU, or our Belgian overlords.
How long did it take before we saw them copying DMCA-like regulations (like the tax on recordables. Both CD and DVD. We actually have to pay the music industry each time we backup our own files.)or the IP-madness?
Do I dare to ask what's next?
Am I right in thinking that currently it's illegal to attempt to communicate with an ET without UN approval, or something?
I doubt that would be the case. Altough I do think it would be illegal to send them national secrets (Like info on how to build nukes). With other words the same laws for communicating with members of another nation would apply for communicating with aliens.
I'm affraid you're mistaken. The correct way to use the hyphen in Engrish is:
Whenever you feel like it.
Simular rules apply for the use of "it's" and "its", "your" and "you're" and the formation of verbs.
Some people think the use of Engrish shows a lack of understanding of the English language. This is not the case. Using Engrish is a way to show your trust in the readers decoding skills. It shows you know the readers have an IQ of at least 130 and are capable of mentaly trying every possible meaning of your sentences and finding the correct one.
It's a way to show you're capable of apply grammer and spelling from multiple languages to the english language.
So the next time you read another post in Engrish, you'll know this a respectfull post from a very smart person who has trust in your abilities. Knowing this should leave you with a warm and fuzzy feeling.

Reality looks more and more like a parody on hollywood movies.
You do not need privacy citizen 768152. Perhaps you would need another Citizen Re-education Session.

Jail? I was thinking about makeing them the new contestants in Robotwars.
Nope. Any self-respecting heterosexual guy should have thought of that.

With the taste and the scent there wouldn't be anything to it. You wouldn't even get to enjoy the monthly crunchy bonus.

No, it just means we need to build bigger test tubes.

I meaned correctly misspelled words. As in "sekuritie true opskuritie".

Sjees, you sound like my todo-list.
Say "There's no place like home" three time. That should get you home.
Unless, ofcourse, The wizard of Oz wasn't based on a true story.
