    The Americans With Disabilities Act likely has interfered with pay toilet deplyment. The smaller less comfortable standard units were sized in such a way to limit the ability to use them for other purposes beyond restroom use.

    The larger handicapped accessible units are both more expensive and more prone to abuse.

    There is a difference between 'Morals' and 'Ethics'

  13. Re:Bee's and ID on Scientists Figure Out How Bees Fly · · Score: 1

    How does figuring something out put a nail in the coffin of Intelligent Design? If figuring it out is all it takes, didn't that happen the first time man figured anything out?

    It takes more than one nail to seal a coffin. Otherwise the zombie gets out.

    And as for emergencies, a knife will serve you far better than a cellphone.

    What if your vehicle breaks down and you have no way to repair it? I think that's the sort of emergency the grandparent is talking about.

  17. Re:Get a life! on Futurama to be Resurrected? · · Score: 1

    There're two volumes available. For a total of 8 out of 22 episodes. Buy them so they are more inclined to release the remainder.

    "(I know, I should tell them.)"
