  1. Re:Reverse on Cell Division Reversed for the First Time · · Score: 1

    My high school biology teacher showed us the end of The Miracle of Life in reverse. Baby comes out! Baby goes back in!

    Man, something was wrong with her.

  2. Re:What is Ebola? on Ebola Vaccine Passes Initial Human Tests · · Score: 1

    Conversely, the survival rate of nonfatal car accidents is 100%.

  3. Re:Hindenburg was flashy, not bad. on New Aircraft is Part Blimp and Part Airplane · · Score: 1

    It appears that this theory has now been refuted.

  4. +1 Funny -1 Offtopic on How Do You Deal with Depression Around Christmas? · · Score: 1

    A: Sad, Bad, Mad
    Q: Who are the Strong Brothers?

    Not to make light of this discussion or anything... my girlfriend is taking medication for depression. It works mostly, but she's 1000 miles away from her friends and with family she doesn't get along with, so she's having a rough time. She's coming back tomorrow :)

  5. Re:AdBlock on Graphics Coming to Google Ads · · Score: 1

    The solution is Filterset.G, now self-updating.

  6. Re:calender on Gmail Gets RSS · · Score: 1

    Fortunately for you, they already have a spellchecker.

  7. Re:Foo et al. on Looking Directly at Extrasolar Planets · · Score: 1

    I went to WPI, and a mile or two away is... the Foo Bar. Also, Swartzlander was my Physics prof there.

  8. Loophole has been closed! on A Method To Uwe Boll's Madness · · Score: 1

    Germany closes tax loophole for Hollywood

    Hollywood's Big Loss - No more free money from Germany

    I find it odd that Slashdot reports on this only AFTER it's no longer true :)

  9. Re:Talk to those that wrote it down? on Vatican Rejects Intelligent Design? · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are Eastern Rite Catholics. Sort of between the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics, and much fewer in number.

  10. Re:Something Missing? on Eight Year Old Physics Student Admitted to College · · Score: 1

    This must be the dialect that is used for email ;-)

  11. Re:USPTO Broken on USPTO Issues Provisional Storyline Patent · · Score: 1

    Impressive that you made this comment without invoking Godwin's Law :)

    So I will: The Nazis were elected democratically.

  12. Re:No other Kuiper Belt Objects have moons?!? on Pluto's 3 Moons and a Probe to Study Them · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our fictional lesbian overlords.

  13. Wikipedia strikes back on Ancient Greek Computer Reconstructed · · Score: 1

    There's a new box at the top of the article:

    This article has recently been linked from Slashdot.
    Please keep an eye on the page history for errors or vandalism.

    They know us too well :)

  14. Broke Search Bar for me! on Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 Released · · Score: 1

    I upgraded to 1.5 Beta 2 recently (automatically! though the updater called it by the internal name 1.4.1) and then the search bar stopped working for me. I use that thing all the time, so I had to go back to 1.5 Beta 1. :(

    Does anyone else have this problem? I'm on a Mac Mini running Tiger.

  15. Re:Cheap porn-stupid comparison. on Movie Studios Unveil New Anti-Piracy Lab · · Score: 1

    like this?

  16. Re:PR bullshit on SpaceShipThree to be Orbital Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    Crashes Firefox (Deer Park Alpha 2) also.

  17. Re:OMGWTFBBQ on SCO Says Email Is Inaccurate · · Score: 1

    My mom once caught me in the middle of sock manipulation.
    I must have looked pretty guilty.

  18. Re:Quick Script + Gutenberg? on Amazon's 1,082-volume Classics Collection: $7,989 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Also, from where are you? I find your use of the (US) term "English major" surprising juxtaposed with your (UK) spelling of the word "catalogue".

    He's from England, and a Major in the British Army. An English Major.

  19. Re:A day that will live in infamy. on Supreme Court Rules Private Property Can be Seized · · Score: 4, Funny

    Actually, you won't be here all week. I've convinced the local government to take your house by eminent domain.

  20. Definition of "Table" on Major Blow to Opponents of Software Patents in EU · · Score: 1

    All is not yet lost as the rejected amendments can be re-tabled when the entire European Parliament has the opportunity to vote next month.

    For those Americans confused by this statement, remember that the British political term "table" is the opposite of the American political term "table". So this means the amendments can be brought back into discussion.

  21. Re:hmm... on Gentoo Founder on his way to Redmond · · Score: 1

    "I've got a bad feeling about this..."

  22. Re:I want to be on the HMO the monkeys have. on Ebola Vaccines Successfully Tested on Monkeys · · Score: 1

    My HMO is close - it's run by monkeys.

  23. Re:best ever headline on msnbc ! on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 1

    Yeah? That may be so, but I'm much more willing to believe a thorough study over conventional wisdom, and the study WAS recent. The fact that Dr. Levitt doesn't use his study to back up a pro-abortion stance (his position on the topic isn't clear) helps me trust it more too.

  24. Re:best ever headline on msnbc ! on Genetic Testing For Geekiness? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    One economist recently claimed that legal abortion led to a drop in crime rates - which would favor the other side of this argument. It's an interesting question.

  25. Re:Are people really this stupid? on Home Made Star Wars Movie Injury · · Score: 1

    The paper plates at my favorite pizza place are clear. After the pizza's been sitting on them, anyway.
