    where it landed and mostly saw her legs.

    Soooo does this mean its a waste of money to throw into the womans locker room?

  3. Re:Gee.. what a shock. on MPAA Gives Film About Ratings an NC-17 Rating · · Score: 1

    Blockbuster won't carry NC-17 or "unrated" versions of movies.

    My local Blockbuster carries a NC-17 movie called Crash (a pretty below average film by the way...IMHO). Plus i've seen lots of unrated films there as well, many times advertised as such. Of course Movie Gallery has even more of these types.

  4. Re:HD for dummies on 50% of HDTV Owners Don't Use HD · · Score: 1

    The only case that I know about is Kubrick's Eyes Wide Shut.

    Full Metal Jacket is like this as well.

    From http://www.visual-memory.co.uk/faq/:

    "It seems to have been Kubrick's preference for his films to be shown in the 4:3 or "full frame" aspect ratio, because, according to his long-standing personal assistant Leon Vitali, that was the way he composed them through the camera viewfinder and if it were technically still possible to do so, he would have liked them to be shown full frame in cinemas as well."

  5. Re:Vacuum? on Hard Drive Window · · Score: 1

    (Um, how'd you get inside your hard drive?)

    I've been inside his hard drive, and i've got to say his pr0n collection sucks.

  6. tom lehrer on Singing Science · · Score: 1

    Of course we all rememeber Tom Lehrer's The Elements. If you haven't see the flash animation that was made to it, you should, so here it is.

  7. "The FCC may soon allow cable/sat companies" on FCC Report Supports a la Carte TV Pricing · · Score: 1

    "The FCC may soon allow cable/sat companies"


    I assume they are refering to small dish sat companies, because the few large dish programing providers that are left still offer some a la carte pricing. I pay for NPS's Absolute Digital Pack, then i throw in a few analog channels such as IFC for $10 a year, and Sundance @ $19.99 a year.

  8. WTF!! - "the second is not available to everyone" on Company Develops Microwave-powered Water Heater · · Score: 1

    "...or natural gas heaters that heat up water on-demand...and the second is not available to everyone, especially those in rural areas" WTF!!! I'm pretty sure i've seen propane models, and trust me, there is a lot of propane in rural areas. Ahh there we go, Froogle to the rescue. I realize that the summary said natural gas, but I feel it was cheap of them to not mention propane.

    What the hell?? I didn't know that ducks were part of the Microsoft family of products.

  12. Re:Now I'm scared on Aluminum Foil Hats Will Not Stop "Them" · · Score: 1

    It is rather cumbersome, but as a bonus to blocking everything, I've got a strong neck now.

    So i guess one could say you were REALLY able to stick your neck out on that post.

    *smells somthing burning* mmmmm toasted karma

  13. Re:Don't use passports on Fatal Flaw Weakens RFID Passports · · Score: 3, Funny

    The problem with travling via tunnels is the chance that you may take a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

  14. Re:Microwave your Passport? on Fatal Flaw Weakens RFID Passports · · Score: 1

    It might be a Federal document, but with a total standard (non rushed) fee of $97, I should be able to f#ck with it if I want to. ;-) (of course that would probobly result in another $97 fee, but that is outside the scope of my worthless point) Cost figures from here.

  15. Re:Give Jobs Credit on Pixar For Sale? · · Score: 1

    Just think about the crappy cartoons that existed before Pixar movies, in case you don't agree.

    Are you high?! How many of the movies from the 30's, 40's have you seen? I could watch The Three Caballeros repeatedly without growing tired of it.

  16. Re:Effects of Hydrogen? on Hydrogen Fuel Cells Hit the Road · · Score: 1

    Plus, the tanks are designed not only to resist puncturing, but to keep hydrogen gas from entering the passenger compartment in the event of a rupture.

    Just a small question. How well do the tanks resist puncturing via bullet? You never know when that A-hole road rager is going to go John Woo on you.

  17. Good ole MSNBC... on The End Of The Light Bulb? · · Score: 1

    From TFA:
    LEDs don't emit heat, so they're also more energy efficient

    b) I'm back in high school as an adult going for my second diploma as if it were a bachelor's degree.

    Is this actually a common dream? I thought only I had that kind of screwed up dream.

    If Archimedes is damn smart, how come he's dead? Explain that one to me will you!

  21. For the love of.... on The Princess Bride Musical · · Score: 1

    Why me?? WHY damn it!!!. This just means more of "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die" whenever people meet me for the first time...and learn my last name. :-(

  22. ah hell!!! on Peter Jackson to Executive Produce Halo Movie · · Score: 1

    This movie is going to hell damned fast. We are going to see Halo done like Meet the Feebles. tsk tsk

  23. My BS detector is going crazy! on When Hybrids Do (And Don't) Make Sense · · Score: 1

    I was actually looking for the small writing on the site saying "this site is a parody and should not be taken seriously". I'll give him that the engine might run longer, but getting insane milage out of it seems a bit of stretch. Why is he limiting this milage to just his hybrid? Why not a normal vehicle. He should be able to buy an old Volvo 240 for cheap and do the engine. ...Though I guess if you froze your penis you could go all night long. ;-)

  24. Re:Republican here, Bush SUCKS on FBI Agents Put New Focus on Deviant Porn · · Score: 1

    "Next time I'm going to "throw away my vote" and vote for the Libertarian candidate."

    Thank you. If enough people "threw" their votes away, the act would not be meaningless anymore.
