Neither do I, but that's how things can be sometimes. Incidentally, if you ever go to a Sonny's restaurant, don't eat the bbq beans. I can't say why, corporate recipe crap and stuff... Also, at Wendy's restaurants, avoid the chili and taco meat (if they still have a super-salad-bar). The chili, when I worked at a Wendy's almost ten years ago was made from three types of burgers. A) "Imperfect" burgers (broken when flipped) B) Burnt or stale burgers and C) "Five-second burgers". Ugh...
Pretty much any type of oil or grease will dissolve latex. That's why most "personal lubricants" are water-based.
Interestingly, I work at a restaurant, and one of the banes I deal with his having to constantly change gloves, not for want of sanitation (which I do heed, btw), but because the pulled-pork (it's a southern thing *shrugs*) grease will eat the glove quickly. However, one night, I accidentally dropped a glove in the deep-fryer and nothing happened to it at all. No melting, no warping, etc, and the grease is vegetable-based.
In many of the more relaxed areas of the world, Wikipedia has already supplanted the local libray as the standard repository of all knowledge and wisdom, for though it has many omissions and contains much that is apocryphal -or at least wildly inaccurate- it scores over the older more pedestrian collection in two important respects. First, it is doesn't charge late-fees; and second, it allows lazy people to do research without having to get their fat-asses outside. (With apologies to DNA...)
if I made a vehicle visually invisible its still likely to emit exhaust or a big EMF field from electric motors, people breathe, exhaling heat and CO2, etc.
Not to mention, an invisible aircraft carrier would make a pretty sizable dent in the water...

I'm not a GW fanatic or anything, but when you meantioned two of the above "beats", I felt it necessary to quote the line.
Okay, so your coach said jogging is bad, an amatuer runner will tell me it is. But aside from you having bad knees, why is it bad for everyone? It might be detrimental to one's legs in the long-run like carpal-tunnel is to a typist, but saying jogging is bad just gives the fat-asses of today one less reason to get up and excersise when they can just get the triple-bypass paid for from my taxes.
The way they called a grouping of seperate objects a single object, then yes, the universe would itself be a "single" object. In that sense, the measurement of such reminds me of the following:

It's not all that hard to bounce photons off the Moon.
Hell, the sun's been doing it for a few billion years using a working fusion reactor. Seems to me that beats out US physicists and engineers by a long shot.
D) Be grateful that life has been good to me so far. On the other hand, if life hadn't been good to me so far, as atested by my current situation, I'd be thankful that it wasn't going to trouble me much longer.
Okay, so it wasn't a genuis idea, but it's a bit less tacky than the Rushmore one they're currenly going with. I suppose it's still better than saying "You'll love it or your money back!"
Indeed. How about this? A chalkboard with two basic addition-style columns. In the first, list what MS Office can do, in the other, list in similar order everything OpenOffice does. At the bottom of each column, where the answer would go in a problem, list the price ($600 vs Free). Then, in an area outside the frame of the chalkboard, simply say "Do the math" or something...
Small thing orbiting a big thing = Earth orbiting the Sun. Nice, now not only are school kids gonna be pissed to find out that Pluto is no longer a planet because of its size, but now the Earth has been relegated to being simply a moon.
Why not use binomial nomenclature and simply call it a "binary planet"? If the "it's-not-a-planet" crowd want to say Pluto doesn't count because it's "too small of a rock", but still consider Saturn, Jupiter, and Uranus planets despite the fact that they are mostly gas, and likely don't have a solid core that's large enough of a rock to be called a planet. We call them "Gas Giant Planets" instead of simply "planets" (or brown-dwarf stars), why not create another category to include binary planets?
Although I'll agree with you in that pedophiles and rapists are scum, I think the reason why many rights apply to everyone is to avoid "throwing away the key" in the case of mistaken or some other form of wrongful conviction. To simply say (and act upon such sentiment) that sex offenders be handled like trash ignores the potential (albiet improbable with modern evidence gathering techniques) innocence of an individual.

Or you could issue such a ban based on a "moral imperative" to wipe out dendrophilic porn.

So, in other words, it is television? Or is the marketing drivel on television somehow different from the marketing drivel on radio?

Sounds like "arrest" fits the situation rather well...
