  1. Re:EMP Testing on Could a Meteor Have Brought Down Air France 447? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What?!? Man, that's just like telegraphing your punches! Rule #2 of driving in Boston: don't give the other drivers advance warning of what you are going to do; that only gives them the opportunity to cut you off! (Rule #1 is "Never make eye contact.")

  2. Other quotes on Publishers Want a Slice of Used Game Market · · Score: 1

    Quoting every Scooby-Doo episode ever made, the game marketing executives were also heard to say "And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids!"

  3. Watch out, Post! on Judge Rules That Reasonable Consumer Should Know "Crunchberries" Are Not Fruit · · Score: 3, Funny

    Grape-Nuts is obviously the next target!

  4. That's what I hate about Methodist Hospital on Hospital Turns Away Ambulances When Computers Go Down · · Score: 0, Troll

    The computers go down, but the nurses don't.

  5. Is this really a good idea? on Device Reads Messages From Surface of the Brain · · Score: 1

    What in all your reading of The Terminal Man, has ever given you the slightest impression that this device is a good idea?

  6. Re:To Implant or not to implant... on Device Reads Messages From Surface of the Brain · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are they saying that electrodes implanted in your brain are less invasive then silicone implanted in your chest? What about a game controller integrated into breast implants -- man, you'd never be able to get me off of Mario Kart if I had some of those to play with!

  7. Re:City tits are perkier than country tits on City Slicker Birds Shun Their Country Cousins · · Score: 0, Redundant

    There is only one way to resolve this: where's the link to the pics?

  8. Inaccurate on Man Shocked To Find Out Power Line Rappelling Is Dangerous · · Score: 1

    Touching one of the wires shouldn't be a problem -- birds do it all the time. Touching two of the wires, or getting between one of the wires and a path to ground IS a big problem. Unfortunately, this guy hasn't completely removed himself from the gene pool, so he doesn't qualify for a Darwin award, but let's all wish him better luck next time!

  9. It's the economy, stupid on Time On Social Networks Almost Doubles In a Year · · Score: 1

    The number of people who don't have lives has doubled in the past year. Whether due to losing their jobs or other reasons, I'd say yes it is because those people aren't spending money elsewhere.

  10. Re:Apparently the Obama administration doesn't on Google, Yahoo!, Apple Targeted In DoJ Antitrust Probe · · Score: 1

    dilute???

    I think you mean delude. Or perhaps you're just delusional.

  11. Re:Another one bites the dust on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    I know what you mean about a "level playing field"... On a tilted playing field, they tend to fall off during strenuous activity!

  12. Re:Heads aspode on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Reminds me of the "Buy American" bumper sticker I saw on a Ford Courier... sort of makes you want to pull the driver over and explain to them that a Courier was just a Mazda B2000 with different badges and a higher price tag. Hondas are made in Marysville, Ohio with electrical parts from Stanley -- there is no such thing as a truly "American" or "Japanese" car anymore.

  13. Great news! on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 4, Funny

    My goal of getting a hummer from a cute Asian girl is that much closer to completion!

  14. Re:I'm just waiting for on Sotomayor's Position On Copyright Damages · · Score: 1

    Boyfriend?!? Wouldn't her long forgotten girlfriend releasing a tape be much more amusing? But seriously, her personal life is irrelevant. If she does her job right, and faithfully interprets the original intent of the constitution, then her personal views are irrelevant as well. Saying that a Latina should have better judgment was a misstep, what she really meant was that better decisions can be made when input from people with diverse backgrounds is considered.

  15. Re:I feel like everything that can be wrong . . . on Sotomayor's Position On Copyright Damages · · Score: 1

    had two friends kill themselves Man, it must be rough being one of your friends!

  16. Re:These ARE FUCKING TERRORISTS what don't you get on Sorry For the Detainment, Here's a Laptop · · Score: 1

    Why would you expect a Muslim detention camp inmate to be any less celibate than, say, a catholic priest at an all-boy boarding school?

  17. Generation gap on Dinosaur Posture Still Wrong, Says Study · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it was only the teenage giant sauropod dinosaurs that had bad posture? Of course, these are the ones we would be studying, since they would have wound up in tar pits a lot more often. You know those reckless teens!

    (Note to self: great idea for new cartoon series: teenage giant sauropod dinosaurs. Name each one after famous Impressionist artists. Have running joke about confusing Monet with Manet.)

  18. So that's how it works! on Man To Stay On Airplane For a Month To Cure Fear of Flying · · Score: 1

    I have a fear of physical intimacy with beautiful women... anybody want to help me work on a cure?

  19. Re:TFA Is slashdotted on Dinosaur Posture Still Wrong, Says Study · · Score: 1

    have you ever seen a giraffe try to reach the ground with their head? Almost as amusing as watching a deer run up a flight of stairs. However, since giraffes do that on a regular basis to drink water, you'd think they would be better at it.

  20. Or they might be wrong about environment on Dinosaur Posture Still Wrong, Says Study · · Score: 1

    If they spent all their time in the water, they would not have needed a lot of musculature to support their neck and head. Why would a long neck be an evolutionary advantage in the first place? Either it helps for a) reaching food, b) being able to breathe while under water, or c) scoring with the opposite sex. For any of these, a more vertical neck posture would work better.

  21. Re:panz on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    Just encourage every kid to find what they want to do and do it. When I was a kid, it was obviously to me what I really wanted to do required the willing participation of a member of the opposite sex, and while it might be useful for the propagation of the species, there was no way I could make a living by doing it.

  22. Hold on there! on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    These days, white straight males don't like math much, either. Well, I'm a white male and I think math is just fabulous!!! Oh, wait...

  23. Re:Discrimination in Applied Science on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    I hear the statistics for lap dancers are even more heinously skewed, but that might be more of a demand side limitation than a supply side problem.

  24. Re:the biggest gaps seem to be in interest on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 0

    Boys are better at manipulating physical objects, while girls are better at manipulating other people?

  25. Re:Social or Biological? on The Myth of the Mathematics Gender Gap · · Score: 2, Funny

    70% of PhDs in Mathematics go to men and up to 30% go to women. All this tells us is that having a PhD may help you get laid, but if you have nice tits, then you don't need a PhD.
