It's that one where you snort cocaine from a hooker's breast. Very addictive gameplay, and great graphics. I don't play it that often though, because the ongoing fees and medical expenses are a real bitch.
Every species seems to have the built-in desire to perpetuate itself.
Actually, I think generally the desire is for each individual of a species to survive, not necessarily perpetuate the species forever.
I'm sick of "environmentalists" who blabber on that humanity == evil or humanity == a cancer on the Earth, etc.
How many environmentalists have actually said that to you, as opposed to propaganda written or said about environmentalists? I know quite a number of them, and none have said this to me. In fact, most are very much concerned with our long-term wellbeing, as opposed to those who want to make a quick buck and don't give a shit if we fuck up our environment and standards of living.
Why would you bring up environmentalism at such an irrelevant moment, anyway?
Technology will solve our problems and allow us to expand beyond our home planet.
And what does this have to do with environmentalism? Do you believe that it is somehow opposed to technology?
"iPod generation"? WTF? How is that name relevant to...well, anything?
Haven't you noticed? Kids these days are all silhouettes. This definitely impacts their interests in space exploration. In space, nobody can see you dance against a brightly colored background.
Are rap songs shorter with an upshift in frequency? I doubt it.
Pretty much, yes. It has a "sharp" style, and words are pronounced much more quickly than in rock, folk, opera - in fact, it is sung more quickly than just about any genre I can think of. And while rap is known for deep basslines, the vocals are higher pitched than other genres, both to distinguish them from the bass, and as a side-effect of the quicker pace. Of course, rap varies, and some rappers use a deep voice, but the majority of it is higher-pitched than equivalent songs in other genres like rock.
Sure, I may be being a little bit uh, anal here, but a glib report along the lines of "it's like a rap song" just trivialises and dumbs down the research which is actually quite neat: these birds have adjusted their songs to compete with the other noises in their environment, showing a high level of behavioral plasticity.
I don't think anybody would have read the article and assumed that the birds were imitating rappers. It's just a catchy hook - and that kind of thing actually gets readers interested, which can mean that more people read the research than otherwise.
Anyway, you said in your previous post that it has nothing to do with urbanisation. The article makes it pretty clear that it actually has plenty to do with urbanisation. They are doing this to compete with traffic and industrial noise. What causes the increased traffic and industrial noise? Urbanisation.
But why does the container even matter? Anyone familiar with metric units knows how much a litre is, and has a good visual picture of how much space it takes up. So why not just say 400 litres? If people need to visialize it in "bottles" or hogsheads, or whatever, they can easily see that 400 litres equals 400 litre bottles - or even better 40 10 litre containers, which are pretty common for holding water. Or 100 4 litre wine casks.

Yeah. They're nearly as crazy as the people who decided that making Speed 2 would be a good idea. Nearly.
No, I was just making a joke about inbreeding.

You should hear the crap the US sends out on the so-called "Clear Channel" stations. It would make Stalin blush.
Why would a small piece of personal electronics inspire hate in you?
Damn. I knew I should have shown him Electro-Gonnorhea: The Noisy Killer.
Will there be albino Inuit lesbians?

Does it really matter if mankind's existence in the universe ends? I don't think the universe cares either way.
Oh, that's exactly what we need. Space Hillbillies.
Quick, everybody donate funds to Al Qaeda. Our future counts on it!
Yes, I'd say that people with half a brain would click goatse links at work. When they aren't drooling on themselves.
So, where does the cop not wearing his hat come into it?
They actually plan to cut cocaine with it and sell it to schoolchildren. Spacecraft aren't cheap, you know. Have to raise the money somehow.
Are you talking about the movie Speed 2?
I'd rather not, thanks.
Yeah, but can it fly?
Watch out, this could cause a schism with pastafarians and kibologists.

Run-DMC are not crap!
Ahh, so that explains why murder rates have risen recently.
Ewwww! You just got cow on my America!
