In the most recent star wars movie, ObiWan and Yoda are looking at a big 3d map of the star system. Obi refers to a small planet to the north of something. Being a map maker for a living, I was somewhat incensed - cardinal directions aren't really applicable in space.

Switch from drinking 5 cups of coffee everyday to drinking 4, and have one cup of apple cider or hot chocolate. Go down in one day increments, but still have a hot beverage as a replacement. Once you get to about a week or so off caffeine, there should be no headache problems. If you start to get a real bad urge, drink tea instead (not as addictive to me as coffee, I don't know about others).
WARNING: When you start drinking coffee again, use moderation. It is very easy to fall off the wagon.
The internet is a vast network of intellectual people who believe in distributing information (mostly) for free. The individual users and companies that most prolifically contribute to the internet will always be one step ahead of spammers and crackers, and two steps ahead of any regulations.
The spokeswoman said the government was unhappy with Microsoft's refusal to sell individual programs from its standard Office package, which includes e-mail, spreadsheet and word-processing applications.
Off the record, she refered to Bill Gates as a shlemil, and said they weren't going to take any more of his schmutz. They are tired of schlepping his insecure software around, paying far too much of their hard-earned mezuma for his khazeray.
I will paypal someone $1 if they can post a video of an eagle going into a wind turbine.
I actually did some site location research for the Oklahoma wind farm, and one of the concerns was the location of Lesser Prairie Chickens, an OK endangered bird. As posters have already pointed out, the potential harm from wind turbines is significantly smaller than that of pollution created by other types of electricity generation.
Wear a suit and sunglasses to work. Make sure to always stand with your hands crossed behind your back. Get an earpiece that goes in your ear, with a curly phone-type cord. Wrap the cord around the top of your ear, and run it down the back of your shirt. Lift up your collar occasionally, and mumble something into it.
If anyone criticizes you, just put your hand in your jacket pocket, point your finger at them, and tell them to move along.
Why not combine the airbags with some parachutes? Parachutes work fine to land living humans in the Soyuz capsules. Is there something about the Martian atmosphere that would prevent this?
14 media and technology industry convergence trends and ideas to watch in 2004

Deer will breed well in captivity, or in semi-protected forests. Not to take away from the accomplishment of cloning a deer, but it probably isn't cost effective from a conservation perspective.
Cloning panda bears, tigers, or condors might give a more favorable biodiversity/dollars-spent-on-cloning ratio.
'Norse' refers to a tribe of Scandinavian origin, while Camelot was purported to be in England. Also, the popular mythology of Arthur puts the time period around 1200AD. I will let some other wise-guy post a wikipedia link correcting my dates and stuff.

You should have made it look like this instead of the little christmas house.
Then, I would be impressed.
Never has a spacecraft been built so quickly, on so little money, and been sent on such a long journey fraught with so many dangers.
I didn't know Ford made spacecraft!

Whenever we get the spams to 'increase penis size', the joke around here is that you just measure the outer diameter instead of the inner.
I work in the pipeline industry, it's pretty strange.
