Bout time someone made this point. Its sad how much the oil industry has slammed on these cars to make the sheeple believe they're unsafe.
Electric cars have long been developed and tested on. Somehow, IC cars have stagnated and even gotten slowly worse in the mileage and such. Planned obsolescience is rampant, and the warranty's suck.
I for one welcome plugging in my car at night, while I'm busy unplugging my girlfriend... ahem.. nevermind that.
Lighters have been banned since about three weeks ago. I currently work for an airline, and we've been confiscating literally HOARDES of them. But your allowed to take 4 books of strike on back matches. Go figure...
That's why its the most popular post in the universe. Way ahead of the "Me too" post, and also a better funded response with more accurate information.
The people responsible for this post have been sacked. Please return to the post currently in progress.
From what I've heard, he is in talks with Kevin Smith for doing a Star Wars Academy series of movies. Smith wants to do a trilogy as, well, if it works once, or well twice... then why not do it again??
I don't get how you still didn't get what I said. I was saying that he probably meant that the ADMINISTRATION are the idiots, with all due respect to our men in uniforms.
And when I said, when your commander tells you to jump on a live grenade... I meant that Our men in uniform follow orders. Without question. Usually with good reason... but sometimes the administration can be pretty dumb.
So try to read a little more into the post before you get your skirt in a tizzy next time.
In one post you both deride the man for posting his thoughts on our current government and basically deriding HIS freedom of speech, and then when someone comes back at you, You flip out and quote the first amendment. Hypocritcal a little maybe??
Our rights are going down the tube, and the government is growing more Orwellian by the minute mainly because of people like you.
There is a saying that if you throw a frog into hot water, he will try to jump out. But if you slowly turn the heat up then he will sit there contentedly. While you slowly kill him.
Or, put another way. If you establish a totalitarian regime overnight, the people will revolt. But if you slowly erode a set of freedoms your country was founded on then people like you will just complain a little about how the political water is getting warm. All the while those of us who can sense the change realize we're getting cooked.
Shit on a canvas. That kills me. But your right, I have always wondered why people ooh and ahh over some paint. Yes it takes effort, and yes it takes work and skill. But so much money for so little return is crazy.
But then there is the beloved happy tree guy.. God rest his soul.
I dont know where I was going with this. But art is good, sometimes. But its up to the individual to figure out what art is to them.
That would be hillarious. If, that is, we didnt know that McNuggets is just grade D dog meat ground up. I mean really. They should at least use leprechauns if they are going to call them McNuggets. Or would that end up being a pile left by leprechauns in the John. Hmm.
I have been doing this for a couple years now. The person will ask me to sign my name on the receipt and I just stand there and doodle.
The funny thing is that one time I went to Best Buy and did that, I just stood there drawing smiley faces and lines and things. Finally the cashier stopped me and said "I think that will do" Irregardless of whether or not that was my signature. Thanks guys.
I write SEE ID on the back of my card, because Michigan law is such that if you sign it, they cant ask for your ID they can only compare signatures. Or so my Manager at JCPennys told me.
Even so, with SEE ID on the back, maybe two people this year have asked for my ID. I keep all my old licenses, so I ask "Which one?" And then proceed to hand them the expired one.
Keep in mind this isnt the fault of the Credit companies. Its the fault of the retail industry.
No, It is Irony that Parent got modded up Interesting. Or wait, It would be irony if he got modded up informative... Because of the John Lithgow comment.
Its late, Im tired, and I had a joke that sounded a lot better in my head. Good night slashdot.

$220 for a walkman w/cd's??
$30 for a decent walkman, with a box of 200 HP cdr's costing $36.99.
So 200 CD's, with ~20 songs a cd. And about 3.5 minutes a song.
200*20=4000 *3.5 = 14000 minutes. Divide that by 60 and you get roughly 233 hours, or close to 10 days of music.
The downside? Switching between CD's. Total cost $66.99.

Yeah, where they both fall into a lava pit. Or the one where they get blown up attacking the death star. Or the love scene.... Ewwwww.

I can't find the other one.. but that's close-ish...

I'm sure he meant the administration, as our beloved troops already knew that. But if your commander tells you to jump on a live grenade...
I was going to Mod this redundant, But I didn't think anyone would get it...

Isn't "Petty Cash" what prostitutes ask for??

it does not explain how the Chicken McNugget got *inside* the bone.
Apparently you have never eaten a McDonald Chicken nugget. What meat there is, is usually buried deep inside an inedible bone or bone-like material.
But your only other option is waking up next to a King... I think not.
That would be hillarious. If, that is, we didnt know that McNuggets is just grade D dog meat ground up. I mean really. They should at least use leprechauns if they are going to call them McNuggets. Or would that end up being a pile left by leprechauns in the John. Hmm.
TO THE LAB!
DAMN! Now you tell me. That thrice-bedamned ass-rapist in the park is at it again. And he smoked while he did it. The scoundrel.
Sadly that made me think of a previous girlfriend I had.
Unfortunately the smell was the best thing she had going for her...
Ah, the mistakes of youth.

Yeah, they say a man thinks about it every seven seconds, but given that we are geeks, what power does that raise that too?
Me personally, I think every seven seconds I revert back to a normal human being for a second or so.
I for one welcome our mind reading overl... Ah nevermind.
Ok, well in Russia, minds read... nope.
Um. I did have a joke all lined up, but I forgot it. So would someone mind having a look-see in my head to see if they can find the punchline?
Wait. That opens me up to a vast amount of put-downs. My fault, Flame away.

So that means, it will no longer be based on Avogadro's constant, But instead be dubbed "The weight of measurement formerly known as Avogadro's base?"
*Sigh*, Its only 1am and already I've made a prince joke. Its time for rehab.
