    Nicely done!

    Q: Why did the chicken cross the road?
    Physicist: We're only 99.9997% sure that it did cross the road.

    And that's assuming spherical chicken in a vacuum.

    Since it's made of gluons, it's probably very sticky.

    Not quite true. The 3.5" floppy drive in my Athlon II x3 box has been carried forward into every machine I've owned, since it's original purchase in 1988 (to go into my 10MHz 286).

  9. It's not BMD on Why Iron Dome Might Only Work For Israel · · Score: 1

    I watch Emacs Hart, you insensitive clod!

    Meanwhile, the rest of the planet eagerly awaits the word of K'Breel and the Council.

  14. No, but if someone attacks you with a banana, you'd better have a pointed stick ready.

    Also, this "BaBar" experiment seems rather elephantine to me.

  15. Re:darn! on Roaming Robot May Explore Mysterious Moon Caverns · · Score: 1

    Thank goodness that was real... I'm sure you can guess what I was expecting...

  16. Re:Wow, don't have opinions online.. on How Free Speech Died On Campus · · Score: 1

    You're joking, right?

    At any UC campus, tuition alone is over $10000 per annum. Add in room, board, books, etc, and you're looking at close to $30000.

    Of course they had a hand in it... how do you think the egg got implanted?

  23. Re:Easily Cabrera on Nate Silver Turns His Eye To the American League · · Score: 1

    So if Josh Hamilton had had a slightly better series against Oakland to finish the season, Cabrera would not have the Triple Crown. Therefore, what Josh Hamilton did or did not do affects how valuable Cabrera and Trout are.

    *THAT* is the problem with saying, "ZOMG!!!! TRIPLE CROWN!!!!"

  24. Re:I thought the first successful IVF pregnancy wa on Artificial Wombs In the Near Future? · · Score: 2
