    "Think how many people could be fed with all that money."

    I am so god damned tired with that line. No one should ever starve, I agree. But you're playing the if game. And that never gets anywhere. If you're so interested in saving lives with every spare penny, sell plasma and semen.

    Step 1: No rectal thermometers at work.

    "My car gets forty rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!"

    These are actual units of measurement:

    40 rods = 1 furlong (fur) = 660 feet

    I think he meant how it is only useful for earth, how many planets on star trek have 24 hours in a day, or 365 days in a year? That's the kind of "arbitrary" he's talking about.

    The US says we get everything first. There's no such place as the UK, it's just an urban legend.

    I wonder how you explain that to a doctor...

    At least it'd be easier than explaining why a person cut up their ass when sitting on a scanner though...

    God help you if you make a wind chime out of a bicycle, becuase no matter where *you* live, I know *I'll* be able to hear it.

    There's a joke in here somewhere; "girlfriend", "hard-drive", "wind blowing."


    Nope, got me, I can't think of anything.

    Yeah, even my dad who is a die-hard battlestar fan (the first one) is coming around to the new show.

  18. Re:Are they still going to rip-off old storylines? on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    This always bugged me, why was the first one so good? Was it the cheezy acting? The way the characters always seemd to be perfly joined together like puzzle peices? The little kid and that damned robotic whatever-it-was? The completly pointless reason why the cylons attacked humanity? Or was it the way they took THE GENOCIDE OF THE HUMAN RACE so passivly? They all seem like good reasons, what's your favorite?

  19. Re:Regurgitation on Battlestar Galactica Season 2 This Summer · · Score: 1

    Let's stop using the word "original" while we're at it. I think we're all aware that there was a Battlestar in the 70s and 80s as well...

    Yeah, downloading's better. But for all those poor suckers on dialup, just use a vcr, and if you don't know what that is, get a DVD recorder or a TV tuner card. women>scifi Whoa, did I actually say that?
