OK, I'll feed the troll. Are you such a mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging animal that you can't defy your instincts? "I'm sorry honey, I didn't mean to bang the babysitter but my instincts took over! It's not my fault; she's half your age with supple skin and firm breasts. The survival of the human race depended on me and I did not falter!"
“If hooking a car battery to a monkey's brain might possibly find a cure for cancer in ten years I only have one thing to say; the red one is positive and the black one is negative.”

I'm not going to do the homework on all of the countries you listed but you're sorely mistaken about Bulgaria, at least for the working class. You'll sign a contract for 35 hours a week over 5 days, then you'll be expected to work 10 hours a day 6 days a week. Don't like it? Take a walk, there's a dozen people who are willing to take the abuse because it's better than pumping gas or collecting bus tickets.
For example if you drive around Sofia on the ring road there is a fighter jet in a reasonably good condition (much better than the Buran on the picture) parked in one of the laybuys. It is nowdays prime location on the ring road for "truck stop and servicing" by practicioners of the oldest human profession.
Great, I discover this after I spent all of my time in Burgas!
Except when I spawn as the infected. Then I'm absolutely terrified.
I know what you mean. After watching one of the "... of the Dead" movies I dreamed that I was fighting in a zombie war. After a particularly viscous battle I said "That was rough; but at least we're winning. We are winning, right? It's almost over?" My brother-in-arms didn't answer. I looked over to see why and noticed he didn't have a lower jaw, eyelids, or a left arm. He looked back at me, sighed, and shuffled on toward the next town.
I'd guess this is just a scheme to have their IT department unblock their favorite networking site. Maybe I can convince my boss to let us do tech support via Facebook...
I refuse to purchase from TigerDirect because of crap customer service. I ordered a few things and the computer case was caved in; not dented, not dinged, *caved-in*. Since I ordered through Google (the excuse they gave) they couldn't RMA it, they could only refund the purchase amount. I went back and forth with customer service because I feel they should have refunded my S&H as well. Once they made it clear the S&H was not being refunded I said "You can keep the $12, it will be the last of my money you will ever get." The other items I purchased were a great price and were not damaged, but I'd rather deal with companies that get the whole order right or are willing to do the right thing. It would have taken them 15 minutes to deal with UPS and make things right, but instead they lost my business and I steer any of my friends away.
Damn you, you're the first AC I've felt the need to reply to!
You, sir, have just described a project that visited me on 3 occasions in high school.
Freshman year we assembled it without being told what the end result would be, then filled out a chart noting the results of all of the possible permutations. The part numbers were covered with epoxy and not everyone's schematics were the same, so 1010 on your board could be 0001 on mine.
Next semester the little beast came back to bite us. We had to design a schematic using relays and lamps to make a "low tech" solution.
Senior year we dealt with practical aspects such as costs, availability, etc, and did a price comparison between the relay based and IC based.
I, for one, welcome our new underground overlords.
Sorry, the thought of super-Gophers scares me more than cloned dogs, or Africanized bees, or cloned dogs with Africanized bees in their mouths so when they bark they shoot bees at you.

SILENCE!! I Keeeeel you!
Your use of the word "cromulent" embiggens my heart!
You act like you've never accidentally a sentence.
Thanks for the link, I'd seen it attributed to several people but I hadn't actually seen the act.

Yeah, you'd have better luck taking the pee out of a pool.
I am a Floridion you insensitive clod!
Like GWB said, "if I said it once, I said it a Brazilian times... I hate exaggeration."
There, that's better.
the roof, the roof is on fire.
... is probably the surest (maybe only) way ...
"I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure"
Pass.

...the fact that I didn't properly proofread by one sentence post.
I see what you did there.

Wait, we're allowed to post after we RTFA?

Un-original joke is un-original; isohunt made the same claim last year.
