  1. Re:Have you on Radio Shack E-Fires 400 Workers · · Score: 1

    The one I had didn't work for crap. Put it in my car, didn't drive it for a few months, and when I went to pull it out of the garage, it wouldn't start.

  2. Re:Lost Verizon contract? on Radio Shack E-Fires 400 Workers · · Score: 2, Funny

    I just gave them the last fake phone number a girl gave to me.

  3. Re:Obessions kill. on Possession of Violent Pornography Outlawed in UK · · Score: 1

    But if you ban Jodie Foster, you can't ask her if she wants to play pinball . . .

  4. Re:Miranda... on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    The guy further up that wondered if any of the mice turned to Reavers probably got it.

  5. Re:How the hell... on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    Why did Mickey Mouse divorce Minny? She was fscking goofy.

  6. Re:Valuable metals? on Closer to Deducing the Origin of the Moon · · Score: 1

    Make it a sphere 100 meters across with a nice hollow core. Fill the hollow core with readily available vacuum. Design it right and it'll stop falling a few thousand feet above the ground. Open a valve and bring her down.

  7. Re:Just like in the movies ... on ISS Construction Resumes · · Score: 1

    So I take it you've never watched "2001: A Space Odyssey", the movie they're talking about?

  8. Re:I just tried that on Some Bands Still Refuse Music Downloads · · Score: 1

    You need to rent "Memento" :)

  9. Re:Recycling on Biofuel Production to Cause Water Shortages? · · Score: 1

    Uh, we've never had a problem with irrigating food plants with sewage. You know what a manure spreader is? The problem is getting the sewage to the crops.

  10. Re:Sigh... on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 1

    Astronomating is for hetero astronomers. Astonomizing is for the non-hetero astronomers.

  11. Re:Gosh. How shocking. on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 1

    Since the Earth's diameter varies by a couple of miles, there'll be a couple of million years where the Moon's status as a planet or a moon will vary depending on the time of day.

  12. Re:In a few billion years... on Our Moon Could Become a Planet · · Score: 1

    1) Build a very large fusion drive
    2) Use it to change the orbit of one of the outer planets (Uranus, or as it will be know then, Urectum)
    3) Swing Urectum's orbit by Earth every now and then to pull it into a higher orbit.

  13. Re:I doubt it on YouTube to Offer Every Music Video Ever Created? · · Score: 1

    Obviously you've never seen Zebrahead's "Playmate Of The Year" video :)

  14. Re:What other species? on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    I don't believe in continental drift because it still takes the same amount of time to drive from LA to Vegas.

  15. Re:Arrrgg...please don't lump me in with zealots on Did Humans Evolve? No, Say Americans · · Score: 1

    Because they're closer to those standards than the Democrats.

  16. Re:Didn't they use to only name stuff... on Stephen Colbert vs The Hungarian Government · · Score: 1

    Pretty successful for a guy who was the president of a frat on double secret probation.

  17. Re:The problem with California.... on Places Rated, Skeptically · · Score: 1

    Tax revolt over a high school with a jumbotron screen on their football field? In Texas? Pwah. Maybe if they start handing out Corvettes to players on teams that *aren't* going to go to state. . .

  18. Re:countdown on Circuit City Ripping DVDs for Users · · Score: 1

    According to your reasoning, a Tivo subscription should be illegal.

  19. Re:Like a dinosaur on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 1

    Hello, Jackie. Hello, Allan. That is your theory, which is yours . . .

  20. Re:To boldly blow like no man has blown before on Matt Damon as Kirk in Star Trek XI? · · Score: 1

    For me it was "Lifeforce". But he's not the reason I remember the movie :)

  21. Re:My views on Idaho Falls and Alabama in general on Where the Highest Paying Tech Jobs Are · · Score: 1

    Actually, it'd be "und y'all vatch dis!"

  22. Re:Dennis Miller is a coward on Stephen Colbert Wikipedia Prank Backfires · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, right. And the Americans that stopped being isolationists after Pearl Harbor were cowards, too. Whatever.

  23. Re:My take on Doomsday from a market perspective on The NYT Imagines Life After Earth · · Score: 1

    As someone who grew up in the north and now lives in the south, I'd have to say you're full of it.

    And the reason life "grinds to a halt" one or maybe two days a year down south is that the expense to have an army of snow/ice removal equipment just isn't justified.

    Skiing in Colorado every couple of years lets me play in the snow just about as much as I want to.

  24. Re:Please stop quoting Pimental. He was wrong. on Vinod Khosla Talks Ethanol · · Score: 1

    Termites efficiently convert cellulose to ethanol in a room-temperature, carbon nuetral process. Whoever is the first the duplicate *that* trick on an industrial scale will become very wealthy.

  25. Re:Yet another way the poor kids get left out on House Passes Ban on Social Site Access · · Score: 1

    I don't know; somebody there will eventually discover the visual equivalent of the brown noise.
