  1. Re:Intercalation, Calendar Calibration, Leap Secon on Earth Travel On Time, Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    Fortunately, the earth is pretty regular in its movement around the sun.

    Well, according to the article, the Earth has been having trouble with regularity.

    Anybody got any bran muffins?

    I don't have far to go before I have to do my Jesus impression. I live in Seattle.

    Well, obviously, if I think it's pointless, I'm not going to use it. That's a given. But by God, I can still bitch about its pointlessness!

  6. Re:I inquired with my county about testing my wate on Measuring Pollution In Humans · · Score: 1

    As for me, I am a firm believer that no tap water is safe for human consumption, so I've decided to purify drinking water at home.

    People in the Midwest get very few cavities, and their teeth and bones are strong and heal quickly. This is because of the minerals in the tap water. Your body uses what it can from the water.

  10. Re:When will these fag-bashing slurs stop? on Weird Presents Anyone? · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, while "gay" might mean "bad", "bad" can means "good", and "lame" does not often mean "limping".

    It's all in the context. Words mean different things at different times, and your son should already realize this. There is no One True Definition.

    "Gay" can mean "happy", or "homosexual", or "bad". This does not imply that to be happy is to be homosexual, or that to be homosexual is to be bad.

    I can't believe no one but the parent mentioned StarCraft:Ghost! I mean, how much cooler can it get than going toe-to-toe with an Ultralisk or watching the Zerglings pop out of the ground around you?

    Anyway, that's the only game I'm looking forward to.

  13. Resident Evil 2 did the same thing on Asimov's "I, Robot" Gets Movie Treatment · · Score: 1

    The new Resident Evil: Apocalypse also has a trailer that starts out like a commercial. But then it turns into something you can recognize as a trailer.

  15. Re:X-men 2 - I cried when I saw Nightcrawler on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    The characters in X2 are two-dimensional and stereotypical. The writing is uninspiring. The action is entertaining, but mediocre.

    Well...it's a comic book!

  16. Re:28 Days Later - best horror movie in years on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 1
    I don't remember any of the zombies from RotLD sprinting!

    There was a mob of zombies that rushed out of the trees to attack the two cops. There was an army of zombies running out of the fog and hitting the cops roadblock.

    Return of the Living Dead had three great qualities aside from the fast zombies. First, a zombie on walkie-talkie ("Send...more...cops..."). Second, a naked chick/zombie queen. Third, a nuked city ("It's the only way to be sure").

    I'd say it's the coolest zombie movie I've ever seen. The title of scariest zombie movie would have to go to Resident Evil, though -- I haven't seen too many of the classics. I'm looking forward to the new Resident Evil.

    As for 28 Days Later, I think it sucked. It was all hype.
    • It was more a post-holocaust film than a zombie film, like Reign of Fire or something.
    • The Blair Witch camera-work gave me a headache. Obviously pretentious.
    • It was like the characters were intentionally stressed-out and hard-core -- that level of tension is not natural over a period of time.
    • The fort men wouldn't have become that uncivilized that quickly. A few of them should have rebelled against the rape orders.
    The only redeeming feature was the British accents.

  20. Re:America screwed over? on Saddam Hussein Arrested · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If the trial is done in an Iraqi court under Iraqi law, why would the court admit or consider any comments by foreign leaders of state or government?

    His contacts with the United States could come up in questions of motivation or supply for his war crimes. His defense could try out the argument that Hussein was a patsy for the United States and other countries.

    Don't forget, it's not like Iraq likes the U.S.

    It's not so much that he needs the religious right. It's more that he knows that God put him in the White House, and he intends to do right by God, and to hell with the consequences (or rather, the consequences will not include Hell). Bush has got Religion.

    "Why can't you be more like the math department? They only want Paper, Pencils and wastebaskets. And the philosophy department doesn't even want the wastebaskets..."
