Vercotti: Well, I had been running a successful escort agency - high class, no really, high class girls - we didn't have any of that. That was right out. And I decided. (phone rings on desk) Excuse me (he answers it) Hello......no, not now......shtoom...shtoom....right......yes, we'll have the watch ready for you at midnight.......the watch.....the Chinese watch....yes, right-oh, bye-bye mother (he replaces reciever) Anyway I decided then to open a high-class night club for the gentry at Biggleswade with International cuisine, cooking, top-line acts, and not a cheap clip joint for picking up tarts, that was right out, I deny that completely, and one night Dinsdale walked in with a couple of big lads, one of whom was carrying a tactical nuclear missile. They said I'd bought one of their fruit machines and would I pay for it.
Interviewer: How much did they want?
Vercotti: Three quarters of a million pounds. Then they went out.
Interviewer: Why didn't you call the police?
Vercotti: Well I had noticed that the lad with the thermo-nuclear device was the Chief Constable for the area. Anyway a week later they came back, said that the cheque had bounced and that I had to see Doug.
Interviewer: Doug?
Vercotti: Doug (takes a drink) I was terrified of him. Everyone was terrified of Doug. I've seen grown men pull their own heads off rather than see Doug. Even Dinsdale was frightened of Doug.
Interviewer: What did he do?
Vercotti: He used sarcasm. He knew all the tricks, dramatic irony, metaphor, bathos, puns, parody, litotes and satire.

Apparently the LHC detectors spew out 1.25GB of data per second. That's about six times the contents of Encyclopedia Britannica including the index every second.
That's 3.7 Libraries of Congress per hour for those of us on the other side of the pond.
And the commercials with George Takei (I'm sure there's a "yellow peril" joke in there somewhere) in a white lab coat and the caption reads "actor portrayal" LIKE WE DIDN'T KNOW - IT'S GEORGE FREAKIN' TAKEI YOU IDIOTS!!

The planetary atmosphere is at disequilibrium for a single observation. Because I observe during (or just after) a volcanic eruption or a meteor impact or a CME or a nuclear war;) am I to assume it's always that way?

No, you fool! You'll awaken Godzilla!

George Carlin was a fucking genius. Fuck! I fucking miss him.
It's fucking uncouth, you stupid fucking cunt.
Maybe you could make multiple partitions, rather than treat the whole disk as a single partition?
In other news, the chairman of Goldman Sachs sent the chairman of BP a nice thank-you-note.
Holy crap! I had no idea that the relativistic speeds involved would cause the mass to increase that much!

Good thing they didn't use PS3s to build it.

Yay! More websites in Flyspeck 7 with grey text on a black background.
Try to imagine my disappointment. "Dissection/disembowelment" was my fourth choice, after "burning", "flaying" and "breaking on the wheel".
Copypasta is also high-calorie, unhealthful food.

The Apollo program left a few of them on the lunar surface. All you have to do is salvage them.
In geological or climatological terms, six months is a single observation.
Besides, he's the only other (non-Scooby gang) person in the episode.

You live in Pahrump? Tonopah? No, I thought not. So, not your backyard then.
Sure, put it in my back yard, I don't care. The containment is WAY good enough, and I don't plan to live for geologic time periods.
I'll put a proviso in the sales contract that the next owner has to keep an eye on it, and pass along the proviso. Kind of like the GPL.
