I do believe there have been law suits involving Coke at restaurants. That's why (at least in Florida) if you ask for a Coke, and they serve Pepsi, the server asks if Pepsi is alright.
The US educational system isn't graduating many scribes today
If you mean the US educational system isn't graduating many people with basic literacy, I'd agree with you (at least in regards to primary and secondary public education).
Most Slashdotters who watch the show would know how to spell these names.
I would disagree to some degree here. Most who watch the show only hear the names, and English spelling is such that there are multiple ways in which to spell various sounds. Typos like Psilon/Psylon/Cylon/Sylon, Ty/Tigh/Tie/Tye, Odama/Adama/Odamah seem acceptable if one has only heard the names spoken on the show.
Enterprise jumped the shark was the Ferengi episode, whom the federation had never seen before
That can be easily explained by poor record keeping, or a corrupted database, or there was a change of management and somebody deleted records of various species encountered because they weren't happy with their severence package.
I may be wrong. But the last time I filled out the paperwork to purchase a firearm (in the US), I don't remember "Are you terminally ill?" being among the questions like "Are you a convicted felon?" or "Are you a fugitive from justice?"

I think you meant "we Canadians are wont to be."
Another way to explain the fact that more soldiers fired at the enemy in Vietnam than WWII is deep seated racism.
If that's true, wouldn't soldiers in the Pacific theater of WWII be more willing to shoot the Japanese?
I'm sure the ants knew what they were doing. It wasn't "let's try this stupid stunt out".
Every species has rednecks.
But there are those who are unhappy who try to make others feel better.
fire is cool
Someone needs a refresher course on temperature.
No. An anti-magic cone is in the eye of the beholder.
Incredible how a whole country can change from "good" to "evil" overnight...
Why not? It happened to Anakin.
they fuse together into helium.
you go up in a ball of flame.
So when you're screaming on fire, you scream in a squeaky high-pitched voice?
Ethically though, we're giving people in the third world food with human genes in them.
It's Africa. They're already cannibals. This should make the rice more appealling;-)
Completely irks me to mate
That's odd. Most people here would be more than happy to mate, given the opportunity.

Back in the day, you needed a huge family to run that farm you needed to feed yourselves.
Plus, you needed more children back then as back-ups because infant mortality was a fair bit higher then than it is now.
Really, what dictators have ever been really good environmentalists?
Idi Amin kept the crocodiles fed.

I may be wrong, but I believe that in Hawai'ian, the apostrophes in words represent glottal stops. So maybe that's it.

So, why exactly are you wasting time here on Slashdot instead of revelling in family bliss?
Everyone in his family has Slashdot accounts, so it counts as family time.

What about virgins?
This is Slashdot. There's plenty of 'em.
On second thought... typing would be awesome though!
You'd have to be self-taught, as I don't reckon there's a typing tutorial for people with a sixth functioning digit.
More options sans internet:
Paper weight
Night Light
Beverage Holder
We've got to educate our 10-19 year olds not to give any more money to the RIAA.
:(
Good luck with that.
Just tell them that, as a parent, you think the RIAA is cool, or whatever the positive slang word for good is nowadays.
That might work.
How'd you get out of that pit?
love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
So what you're saying is, love is not your typical Slashdoter, then?
