Wait... you expect people to actually RTFA? You're new here, aren't you?
Reading The Fine Article confirms that my guess was correct -- it is humans, parrots, and elephants. However, I believe an elephant would be a poor choice of dance partner, because when that gray old lady steps on your feet, it is really gonna hurt!
...only three animals are now known to dance by verifiable proofs.
Which animals are those? Oregon zoo has concerts close too the elephant pens. Zoo workers their claim the elephants do dance to the music. So are the 3 animals humans, parrots, and elephants, or what?
Perhaps it was suspected that Bonobo chimps were dancing, when in fact they were merely having sex?
We actually had a sequence that ended up getting cut from the movie that took place on Rura Penthe, in a Klingon prison,
So, how do you say "Bend over, you're my bitch now!" in Klingon, anyway? Did they abandon this scene because it was too much like This Ain't Star Trek XXX, and they were afraid they would get sued?
Right of rescission applies only to physical products, not services. I suspect cybersex would be regarded as a service, even if software is transferred in order to perform that service. You can't rescind your contract with your housekeeper after he has already cleaned your house! I'm not sure about the enforcability of a contract to perform a service that was illegal in the first place.
Google is apparently planning on rolling out 'high-quality news' to users who not actively searching for news.
This to be followed by rolling out 'high-quality porn' to users who are not actively searching for porn (a small minority of google searches, to be sure.) Later, they plan to roll out V14gr4 and p3n1s enlargement ads targeted solely at women. Their new slogan: "Google... we know what you're really looking for!"
Mind you, I do appreciate both Led Zeppelin and The Who. I have more than a dozen Led Zeppelin CDs, although only a couple of the Who. Both bands have recorded songs that I regard as true "classics" that continue to survive the test of time, e.g. Stairway to Heaven, Going to California, Baba O'Riley, and Behind Blue Eyes to name a few. I even had a devout Muslim Kenyan friend who was a Zeppelin fan, so the appear to have universal appeal. My point was just that all music is to some degree derivative; even the best classical composers borrowed heavily from traditional folk tunes. I agree, I would question the judgment of someone who claims to be a fan of "rock", but doesn't like any of Led Zeppelin or The Who's songs.
Perhaps I need to change my approach. Does the phrase, "Hey baby, wanna come over to my mom's basement this weekend and play with my new joystick?" send the wrong message?
The other is a media pad, said to be smaller than a Kindle but with a bigger screen, that would let users listen to music, view photos, watch high-definition videos... Just what we need! The current iPhone is way too small for watching pr0n while driving! Why not just build in a projector and project the picture on the windshield instead?
The stories about hookers and blow are real. I saw it with my own eyes. Big deals usually involve both of them. The truly sad thing is that was in the Christian Rock music business!;-)
Run a video card stress test, like this one If your computer crashes/reboots/hangs, then your graphics card is overheating. I had an nVidia card with no built in fan that came pre-installed in a high-end Sony Media PC with no provision made for cooling the graphics card. I always had trouble with it, even after installing an auxiliary fan to cool it, so I replaced it with the best ATI card that would work in my box. Now it has no problem passing stability tests. And I don't buy crap made by Sony anymore either.
It's the chicks, man! Gamer groupies only go home with the Alpha Geeks who buy a new $1000 CPU and $500 video card every year. At least that explains my inability to impress the chicks at LAN parties. Of course, the complete lack of any females whatsoever at LAN parties may also have something to do with it... hmm.
...Another is avoiding attacks aimed at civilians. God knows the US has NEVER intentionally attacked civilians, no siree! (Cough, Hiroshima, Cough, Nagasaki, Cough) I'm not really certain that avoiding "collateral damage" is a big a concern to the US military as you seem to think it is.
Any strain of Modern Rock can be traced back to them and / or the Who.
Or at least it can be traced back to the Blues artists that Led Zep and the Who stole most of their early licks from. But then, they were American and Black, and everybody knows white British boyz deserve the credit for inventing everything. Although it may have some Scottish/Irish folk influences, Rock primarily derives from African rhythms.
I was once given $1000 is cash in an unmarked white envelope by a head-hunter to entice me to quit the job I had just started and go to work for another firm so that he could make his commission. Not a check. I suspect the methods used by the RIAA to influence judges also don't show up so obviously on bank statements. In fact, since the RIAA members routinely hire independent song promoters who give away hookers and blow DJs to get songs placed in rotation on top-40 stations, I'm pretty sure they consider "hookers and blow" as a legitimate business expense, and probably get a tax deduction by claiming it as "entertainment".

It's already been done. Pictures of the new chips are available here and here
How about a game where you just drive a bus through the desert for 8 hours? Oh wait... it's already been done!
Second Life, the online environment that asks the age-old question, "Do androids dream of cybersex with electric sheep?"
Or, we could just start using IP multicast for all audio and video streaming. We're talking 15 year old technology here... why isn't anybody using it?
Sure, that covers ROFL and STFU, but you also need "B" and "W" for BFF, BRB, and WTF.
'K bye.

Google "andromeda collisions" for simulations of the collision between our galaxy and the Andromeda galaxy in about 3 billion years.
Oh shit!!! We're gonna collide with Andromeda in 3 billion years?!? I sincerely hope I can get all of my real estate holdings sold before then!
Isn't most of this article obsolete, since Gonzales v. Raich in 2005 pretty much overturned the 1995 United States v. Lopez ruling anyway?

Publishing the braille edition of Playboy suddenly makes a lot more sense!

The RIAA doesn't have a problem with this, so long as they collect a license fee for each and every cricket listening.
