a large metal object landed in my backyard today. I assumed it was just another one of those pesky weather balloons, but when I tried to dismantle it with a torch it didn't even get hot to the touch. What I want to know is: What's the deal with all the weird foreign language symbols on it, and why is this other country so darn interested in our weather?
civil disobedience
A political act involving disobeying governmental authority on grounds of moral objection, with the aim of promoting a just society.
Al-Qaeda did that? How on Earth did a database file named Al-Qaeda, that contained the names of all the horrible people the CIA gave money/weapons to in the 80s in Afghanistan, fly 2 planes into 2 buildings?
My Dad repairs Canon copiers for a living, I'll have to ask him if he has any funny stories.
As much as he knows about electronics, it's amazing how he can't even operate a microwave, newer tv, DVD player, computer, radio, clock, etc. The wonders of old age:)
This is known as Re-Badging, and almost all car manufacturers do it. It happens all the time.
The Chevy Aveo? It's actually a Daewoo(Read: don't buy one because Daewoos are pieces of shit.)
Not to mention the fact that:
Volkswagen is part of the Volkswagen group (VAG), along with:
* Audi (the former post-WWII Auto Union/DKW)--bought from Daimler-Benz in 1964.
* NSU--bought in 1969 by Volkswagen's Audi division, a brand not used since 1977
* SEAT--majority owned since 1987
* Skoda--bought in 1991
* Bentley--bought in 1998 from Vickers along with Rolls-Royce
* Bugatti--name bought in 1998
* Lamborghini --bought in 1998
(from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen#Corporate_ structure
Which would explain the similarities mentioned earlier.
It's a lot easier and cheaper to sell one car with 3 different names than it is to sell 3 differents cars with 3 different names.
If my university were to try this stuff on me, I'd tell them to give my money back to me and I'll head on over to the vocational school and take an automotive repair class.

Your 80 year old doctor might smoke two packs a day, but my mother died age 48 of smoking related disease. She had a healthy diet, too. You can't draw a conclusion on the safety of smoking from a sample of two (you and your doctor).
Couldn't the same be said about your mother? I would be surprised if the deaths of >51% of smokers are actually related to smoking.

Hold on. let me run this by you: Ghostbusters 3 starring Steve Martin and only Steve Martin. Maybe a cameo by Martin Lawrence for the hell of it.
oh, wait. Is there any easy way to cancel an order for a truckload of New Zealand Sexy Sheep?
I really don't understand how such a quotation can be modded offtopic in reference to the article in question. Redundant, obviously, but not offtopic.
I can't believe this comment has the only instance of the word "drunk" in reply to an article about Irish people making stupid decisions

And what about those poor scientologists? And the Raelians, and don't forget those silly Amish. heh, people and religious beliefs. What a crazy bunch.

Like the freedom to do whatever you want with your own body and mind when it harms no one else?
You should ask Michael Phelps about how much he loves that freedom. God Bless America!

I think some people may have done it, personally
They have, in a sense. It's called "Vault" and it's the same formula, with more caffeine and less carbonation.

I was hoping I would save a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to gnuco.
