  1. Re:Two Days before US Elections? on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 1

    I have crafted 5 excuses for your enjoyment:
    1) 2 Days, 2 Months, 6000 years, 14 billions years, big deal?
    2) I did my Calendar math on a Pentium.
    5) I forgot to consult the Book of Armaments.

  2. Two Days before US Elections? on Obama Sets End of Iraq Combat For August 31st · · Score: 0, Troll

    No coincidence, nope nothing to see here. Move along.
    Unlike chickenhawk Republicans, Obama will NOT be playing politics with our soldiers' lives.
    No sir.
    No Him.

  3. Re:Hmm.. they already had depicted him before... on Extremists Warn South Park Creators Over Muhammad In a Bear Suit · · Score: 1

    Every newspaper in the West should have shown the Danish cartoons as an act of solidarity.
    But they are too busy taking on the REALLY violent groups, like the Tea Party movement.

  4. Blind Spot: Hitler's Secretary on EFF Assails YouTube For Removing "Downfall" Parodies · · Score: 1

    The acclaimed documentary which focuses on a woman who was actually in the bunker with Hitler.
    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/blind_spot_hitlers_secretary/?critic=creamcrop
    This film and Downfall are both excellent and compliment each other very well.
    After watching them, the parodies may not seem as funny for a while...

  6. Chiropractors! (wait for it) on British Chiropractors Drop Case Against Simon Singh · · Score: 3, Funny

    What a pain in the neck! (At least proctology is based on peer-reviewed science)

  7. Advanc ED on AdvancED Flash On Devices · · Score: 2, Funny

    I thought they had drugs for that?
    I seem to remember a subtle commercial with a gray haired man throwing a ball through a hole.

  8. Blue Book and Green Book not included on OpenGL Programming Guide 7th Edition · · Score: 1

    You need the trilogy to code life like colours.

  9. I beg to differ! on How Dangerous Could a Hacked Robot Possibly Be? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Irrelevant????
    I see someone skipped the last few minutes of the Battlestar Galactica Finale!

  10. Best Intentions on Porn Surfing Rampant At US Science Foundation · · Score: 5, Funny

    It all started out as innocent research on "Black Holes" and "Uranus"...

  11. Re:And Today is Reading Rainbow's Final Broadcast on We're In the Midst of a Literacy Revolution · · Score: 2, Funny

    Reading Rainbow has been in decline since Geordi ditched them for that Chief Engineer position.

  12. Average gamer OVER 19, is 35. on Average Gamer Is 35, Fat and Bummed · · Score: 1

    Nice headline. The MS in MSNBC is not for Math Skills.
    From TFA:

    analyzed survey data from 552 adults in the Seattle-Tacoma area.
    The subjects ranged in age from 19 to 90,

    And later on, points out that this is merely correlation, AKA scientific fact to a journalist.

    it is not conclusive, its researchers say, but rather serves to "reveal important patterns in health-related correlates of video-game playing and highlights avenues for future research."

  13. A lock for "Most Naseauting Cinematography" on "District 9" Best Sci-fi Movie of 09? · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's high time the Academy recognized Joe, the epileptic cameraman, and his trusty pogo stick named "Earthquake".

    Seriously dude, it would still have that extra realism if the jerkimeter was at 5 instead of 11.

  14. Re:Tax & Tax on US House May Pass "Cap & Trade" Bill · · Score: 2, Funny

    In 2008 Americans voted "Yes (we can!)" to all of the above.

  15. "insatiable appetite for cheap electricity." on US House May Pass "Cap & Trade" Bill · · Score: 5, Funny

    The problem of too much cheap electricity is about to be solved.

  16. AT&T "backpeddling furiously" on Will AT&T Charge Extra For MMS & Tethering? · · Score: 2, Funny

    And they didn't trip? They must be on sure footing.
    I'm putting out a "buy" signal on AT&T shares.

  19. Re:Michael Crichton would be pleased on Breast Cancer Gene Lawsuit Argues Patents Invalid · · Score: 0, Troll

    Michael Crichton was also a global warming skeptic and therefore has no credibility on any subject*.

  20. Re:first post! on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Wolverine had less of a fan base

    Especially among critics.
    Rottentomatoes average of Top Critics:
    Star Trek: 91%(about as good as it gets)

  21. Mother's Day on Is a $72.5m Opening Weekend Enough For Star Trek? · · Score: 1

    $75 million is very good. Mother's Day historically isn't a big movie going day.
    On top of that, I'm speculating here, that most moms don't go for action/sci-fi fare.

  22. Waaaay more than Moore's Law on Ray Kurzweil's Vision of the Singularity, In Movie Form · · Score: 2, Informative

    He's talking about genetic enhancement, nano technology, robotics, AI and more.
    And you "only" need one of these to reach a critical level for the Singularity to occur.
    For instance:
    *Genetically enhance humans to be better at genetically enhancing humans, rinse and repeat.
    *Make strong AI capable of creating stronger AI, etc

    I recommend his book "The Singularity Is Near".
    Free preview at google: http://books.google.com/books?id=88U6hdUi6D0C&printsec=frontcover&dq=kurzweil#PPA19,M1

    His website has some interesting stuff, including opposing points of view.

  23. So what? on Super-Sensors To Sense Big Bang Output · · Score: 3, Funny

    This only shows what happened in the first trillionth of a trillionth of a trillionth of a second after the Big Bang.
    Which leaves PLENTY of room for God.
    He's awfully quick, you know. (As Mrs. God can attest to!)
