Dude, if you want a free iPod, just send me your bank account number and SSN. When I forward it my buddy the Prime Minister of Nigeria, he'll send you more than enough money to cover the cost of an iPod.
I think that we can all agree that supporting the Afghanistan Taliban fighting the Soviets led to 9-11
Sorry, there was no Taliban in Afghanistan during the Soviet occupation. You perhaps confuse them with Mujahideen. The Taliban came primarily from Pakistan and took over after the Soviets left.
I think he's got some points being funny though. I mean, how many people do you know who becoome so obsessed with this election, that even a mention of "a different" canidate will get you a glare?
I had a friend who used to be like this, one of those "defeat Bush at all cost" types. Then, as the campaigns wore on, he became more and more jaded, realizing that Kerry probably wouldn't be much better at fixing all the things that were wrong with the Bush administration. He considered voting for Nader, but thought that that would just be throwing his vote away and playing into Bush's hands.
Then he remembered he was a Canadian citizen and couldn't vote here anyway.
If NK does have nukes, it won't be long before South Korea and Japan do as well.
Last I checked, Japan was still prohibited from developing nuclear weapons by treaty with the US. And Japan sure as hell isn't going to risk trade relations with its biggest trading partners being jeopardized by violating that treaty.
but the networks have no control at all over how the show is produced
Are you kidding? They have plenty of control. "Bring back the smart guy or we'll drop your show in favor of Masturbation Island or Mennonite Jailbait in Vegas!"
I mean, they canned a great show like Cop Rock, didn't they?
However, Six Seconds in Tattooine provides testimonies from witnesses that were never called before the Palpatine Commission, and these indicate that there were no less than three separate shots fired. Also, don't you find it suspicious that Han Solo, a known Wookie sympathizer, would be fingered as the lone gunman? Why do we never hear mention of his Hutt gang connections, going back several years? His checkered history with Lando Calrissian, the very man who would one day encase him in carbonite? And who, as we well know, was the second Death Star shooter?
But of course the most valuable piece of evidence is the original, unedited Lucas film. If we play the scene repeatedly in excruciatingly slow motion, you can clearly see Greedo's head moves back... and to the left. Back... and to the left. Back... and to the left. Back... and to the left.
Ford tried out an automobile black box in their F150 pickup trucks a few years ago. They played back the recordings in order to find out the most common phrase uttered by the driver before a fatal accident.
In 39 states, the most common phrase was "oh, shit". But in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, the Carolinas, and Virginia, the most common phrase was "Hey man, hold my beer and watch this."
The security problems inherent with this are legion: if I can retrieve my own "forgotten" credit card number, I can retrieve someone else's. But then that's about what I'd expect from someone who advertises a pyramid scam in his.sig.

Click away people, I need an iPod!

Stop wasting your junior high school's bandwidth.
Yes, it happens all the time. For example, "Fight like a man" in France is said "Cry like a pussy."
Whereas "cry like a pussy" in America is said "post unimaginative racist drivel as Anonymous Coward."

Did you know that the average US citizen is forced to pay nearly 50% of their yearly earnings to government
I'd love to hear what orifice you pulled this statistic from.
Step 3: PROFIT!
Whoever modded this "troll" has never seen The Big Lebowski.
He was running with the joke, folks.
I think the expression you're looking for is tempest in a teapot
And I think you're not aware that sometimes expressions take different forms on the other side of the Atlantic.
I'm correcting the language of the guy who's job it is to make the article coherent and correct,
Um, that should read "whose". "Who's" is a contraction for "who is" or "who has".
Dark Matter is a theoretical concept we as to yet have not seen or detected.
Well, yeah, isn't that why they call it "dark matter"?
Austria is that island where the toilets flush backwards, no?
Only if Michael Palin is filming it.
1/5th the gun deaths in Canada compared to the US.
Like that's supposed to make up for imposing Alanis Morisette on an unarmed populace.

Just use the polls on slashdot for voting. Somehow I suspect this would result in CowboyNeal becoming president.
Hey, I've been complaining about missing options for the last three elections.

Conspiracy theorists can relax, however.
Sure, that's just what THEY want us to do...
From the article:
Everyone knows that piracy can effect an artist's bottom line
Perhaps they mean affect. Unless they mean that piracy can bring an artist's bottom line into existence-- an interesting concept.
Yeah dude, I totally remember the MD5s, they had that song "Kick out the Jams," man, it like totally rocked.

Don't worry, NASA scientists have already modded them down.

Actually, it is "survival of the fittest," and the phrase was originated by Herbert Spencer, not Charles Darwin.
So they come out with this model which will play games pretty well, especially the ones currently available for the Mac
Wow! Both Warcraft 3 and Halo?!
