I've seen a few motion capture-based games in the arcade where moving your body is part of taking cover and looking around corners. It was all kinds of fun until those sofa-loving bastards bought out the local arcade and turned it into a Raymor & Flannagan.

Also highly amused the quote at the bottom of the page is from Stanley Kubrick, director of Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love The Bomb.
I thought "Thompson" too when I first read the headline. The "Camera" business would have fit, too, because when he was first starting out as a journalist he wanted to be a photojournalist.
The hard drive on my three-year-old laptop died recently, and I replaced it with a new one. I didn't feel like jumping through hoops to prove I had a legit copy of XP to get it re-installed, or worse being unable to prove it and have to pay. So I put the latest version of Ubuntu on it and it's running smooth.
John Adams also passed laws that made sedition illegal, made it nearly impossible for aliens to attain citizenship and before he left office he tried to pack the Supreme Court with like-minded judges to prevent those laws from being overturned. His fight for the cause of independence was noble, but after all that he only served to prove Lord Acton's maxim.
66 cameras, 31 laptop computers, 20 cell phones, 17 sets of electronic games, 13 pieces of jewelry, 12 GPS devices, 11 MP3 players, eight camera lenses, six video cameras two DVD players, also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw either, and two dozen amyls.
This reminds me of something that happened at my old elementary school. Kids were doing poorly in spelling and grammar, so the parents complained to the school. Rather than stress grammar and spelling further, the school stopped grading kids on it.
Freshman year my roommate related a story to me of his first time drunk. He was over a friend's house and tried to leave on his bike, which he promptly ran into the curb and wiped out on the lawn. Unfortunately, most of the decisions he made freshman year were of about the same quality.
The Computer Club and Anime Society at my college jointly host gargantuan lan parties every semester. We're talking about taking over the entire gym. Everyone registers their gear beforehand, puts their name on their stuff with label makers and masking tape. All the consoles are setup in clusters so that one official/trustworthy club member can keep an eye on the wired controllers and gear. Wireless controllers have to be checked out and the user must leave his/her college ID (or comprable ID for non-students, since the event draws a good amount of locals as well) to use a controller. I've been a part of 6 of these and only once has anyone's gear gone missing, and even then it was only a few Xbox 360 controllers.
Another thing to note is if you've got a large group of people you don't know, watch out for assholes. We had a few groups put bets down (without our knowledge and far from our approval) on a Halo tournament and when the losing group welched, a fight almost broke out. We suspect that the people who we escorted out may have taken the controllers as souvineers, but we can't prove anything...
In which German policemen use the chair as a prototype and begin their own underground office-chair racing league. I can just imagine them zooming around police station basements all over Deutschland.
According to one of my English Lit professors, that line is actually a jab at the Rose Theatre, the main competitor of the Globe Theatre, where most of Shakespeare's plays were heard. One day the sewer runoff that ran under the Rose Theatre seeped up into the center of the theatre, giving it quite the aroma. Hence the line about a rose by another name smelling as "sweet."

Blemish on the glass? I just ask politely for a new one, just like I did that one time with the dirty fork.
Will it run Duke Nukem For... eh, you all know where this is going...
In the words of Crow T. Robot, "That's good old-fashioned nightmare fuel right there!"
Bob Johnson... oh, wait...

Don't forget "Toys in the attic"
Yeah, but we'd never have to worry about politicians again.

And you'll get strip searched because it's suspicious to be travelling without luggage.
Get the extra credit question?

Not a chance. Someone had the presence of mind to send the good people at CERN a crowbar just in case.

I'd rather have it painted to look like the Companion Cube.

Potato Cannon + Motorized Office Chair = Best. Drive-by. Ever.
Toby: They think if they crash into it hard enough they can get to the center?
Sam: Yes.
Toby: That's not a theory of physics pretty much disproved by Wile E Coyote?

Sorry for the low quality.
