    That is not copyrighted. Names do not get copyright protection, just trademark. And that is why a toilet cleaner can be called Super Bowl without risk of a business destroying lawsuit.

    Reminds me of the moment when Hunk (I think that was who it was) showed Allura and Coran where the milk from the ice cream they were enjoying came from.

    Still need to finish the last season and a half soon and then try the original Voltron once Legendary Defender is wrapped up.

    I always thought honey was bee barf, not bee doo... (I know, it was just a Futurama quote, but when else will I get the opportunity to utilize the phrase bee barf?)

    Don't forget to L@@K under the liner though before throwing the cap away. :D

    Typical AC, just have to ruin a perfectly good double punchline.

    I had a cousin who was kicked out of the Boy Scouts for simply eating a few brownies.

    They are both equally bad and dangerous. This is like asking, "Which is deadlier, death by hanging or death by boonga-boonga?"

    It is the type of argument one would expect from either a pedantic troll or a pedantic retard. At this point, it is not easy to determine which it is.

  11. Cash, grass, or ass (where ass can refer to just physical labor of some sort in exchange for other goods and services, and not just the more traditional giggity definition.)

    I can't recall the last time I saw a self checkout that didn't take cash. It had to have been way back in the early days of automated self checkout systems, when they were one of the best ways to check out fast (due to everyone else being unsure how to use them properly).

    And also, even a single transfer from a PayPal account will usually count for the direct deposit requirement.

    My main CU has a monthly cash back reward of something like 2% on the checking account and 2.5% on savings (based on the balances of the accounts) if you meet their simple requirements. 12 card swipes with the bank card (can be as either debit or credit), receive your statement electronically, and either one bill pay or direct deposit each month.

    I'm still waiting for a group of shitlord astronomers to officially name a Goatse Nebula and a Goatse Galaxy.

    And taking this train of thought further, I propose that 46 Capricorni be declared Goat C (considering the Capricorn constellation can be called the Goat.)

    And Sagittarius A is probably the reason the deep time civilizations on the opposite haven't been able to easily get over to our spiral arm. The gravitational effects from S-a kept flinging them way off course so they could only get over this way by sheer luck.

    I always figured the term black whole refers to the entire structure; singularity, accretion disk, event horizon, relativistic jets (is that what they really call those? Pretty cool if so), etc. So we do get to see the black hole, except for certain parts of it, like the singularity and anything behind the outer layer of the event horizon.

    I guess a simple analogy would be that you consist of the visible you and what is beneath the skin. Unless you find a way to bend light around yourself, we still see you; we just don't get to see the underlying components of you.

    (Okay, the analogy sounded better in my brain, but it works well enough for this discussion.)

    The real mind fuck question is "What would a singularity look like?"
