  1. Language Barriers on Lost in the Translation · · Score: 1

    My roomate one year in college was from Bangladesh. After one of his friends joked that he was such a stud, I said to him "You're such a ladies' man!"
    He responded in horror and got a bit flustered. A few minutes later, we were all surprised to find out that calling him a "ladies man" implied he was homosexual in his country...

  2. solve the problem the easy way on Ask Slashdot: Privacy in the Workplace · · Score: 1

    Make a hotmail account and spam the suits with porn advertisements. Turn up evidence the CEO, CFO or other high ranking officials have been receiving these porn spams. I'm sure the problem will dissappear then.

  3. Cloning on Episode II Rumours · · Score: 1

    According to several Lucasfilm sources, Episode II will also finally unravel the mystery of the Clone Wars. Why are there all these war droids in the first movie, but all these storm troopers in the latter ones? (You could also ask it like "Why are all the storm troopers the same height and have the same voice?") I thought this one was a no-brainer... but all my non-geek friends don't seem to have gotten it. A farfetched (or is it?) fan theory about Episode II plot twists: The Anakin Skywalker we know from I does not become Darth Vader. Instead, an evil individual takes over Anakin's identity during Episode II and later becomes Vader. This is hard to believe. If his identity is replaced, it's via a clone. He appears at the end of ROTJ... This hardly seems appropriate for an evil jedi who recanted at the last moments... but might be reasonable for a evil clone of a good jedi. Undoubtedly there's a plot twist on the same order of magnitude as Vader being Luke's father... Although Qui-Gon Jinn was struck down by Darth Maul in Episode I, Lucas hints that we may not have seen the last of the Jedi Knight. Many fans have wondered why Qui-Gon does not disappear when Maul stabs him (as Ben Kenobi did in the original), and to that query Lucas replies: "You will discover in the next film why he doesn't disappear. The key line that serves as a clue is from Ben Kenobi to Darth Vader in the original: 'If you strike me down, I will become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.' " If you watch the original trilogy carefully, ObiWan dissappears BEFORE vader's light saber makes contact. Draw your own conclusions...
