    Why should KY be excluded ? Lubrication is built into humans and has been for ever.

    When I first read the grandparent's comment, I thought "what's so special about Kentucky?"

    Your interpretation makes a lot more sense.

    Saturn didn't invent podcasting either.

    Yes he did. It was only recently that Prometheus' lesser know brother Carlos stole podcasting from the Gods and gave it to mankind.

    Now, he too is in Tartarus being punished for his transgression against the Gods.

    Sorry. But dictionary.com says site is correctly spelled, as it is a shortened form of website.

    When I go to the URL in your signature (presumably the site that is referred to just before asking what's wrong with you), it just goes to some search page. Is this intentional? If so, why?

    Have a pleasant day.

    I think the Bible would have been a lot more interesting with Jesus talking about how quickly the human body can be drained of blood given adequate vacuuming systems, claiming that he's a ship, speaking incoherently, and threatening to kill people with his brain.

    What do you think is written in those secret books of the Bible kept in the vaults in the Vatican?

    In the Gospel of Vernon, threats of killing them with his brain was how Jesus got the money-changers out of the temple. And he mentioned the blood/vacuum thing as sort of an aside at the Last Supper, but the published Gospel writers chose to leave that part out.

    Those mop commercials might not be targetted at the youths watching the cartoon, but at the guardian supervising them. The guardian may do housework, thus potentially needing a mop.

    If the guardian happens to be doing housework where the advertised product seems like it would make things a lot easier, it may influence a purchase.

    I've just lost faith in the federal government's ability to act as it was meant to by the Founding Fathers.

    I was responding to this comment.blockquote>I guess we should just do whatever the most agressive group of people wants us to do.

    We should just give up the space program, veil our women, and start to live in the dark ages.Which to me implied a mass-conversion to Islam as the solution. Both pork and alcohol are proscribed by Islam.

    I'd like meddlesome foreign policy to disappear too. But that's unlikely as long as there is a reliance on petroleum.

    You forgot giving up bacon & beer. Both of which are more important than the space program.

  19. Re:Don't be too hard on Lucas on Neal Stephenson on Star Wars in the NYT · · Score: 1

    The fact is that there's no good reason why Obi-Wan had to lie to Luke other than the fact that Lucas had no idea that Darth was Luke's father.

    Just playing Devil's Advocate here.

    Obi-Wan may not have wanted this poor kid who thought that his father was dead (his foster parents might have raised him with that information), find out that his dad's not really dead. He may have thought that Luke might go looking for his father instead of trying to escape and eventually blow up the Death Star.

    Imagine if Luke tried to redeem his father in the first movie. Remeber, this is when Luke was deflecting bolts from the hovering soft-ball robot with less skill than was demonstrated in the prequels by 6-year-old kids.

    All that said, I agree with you that Lucas probably didn't have the entire series written when Episode IV was released, and Lucas did not know that Vader would turn out to be Luke's father.

    It's been a while since I've last read the Bible, but I seem to remember that the whole Samson and his mane story didn't really have much of a divine moral, commandment or prophecy to it. It was there apparently just because it was a nice story about a super-powered guy.
