    It's "pwned," you idiot! You sound like a damn fool when you say it wrong.

    Ah, that's cool.

    Buy why would an automated car/truck stop to pick up a hitchhiker? That sounds like a liability suit waiting to happen...

    The most likely reason is because the hitchhiker managed to flash some robot leg.

    That would also mean having to change the names of several days of the week, as they are taken from (I believe), a mix of Roman mythology and Norse mythology.

    Didn't Superman spin the Earth backwards by flying around it opposite to the rotation? That seems like it would work to speed it up if he flew the other way. Just need to contact Clark.

    I always thought that too, but apparently from reading articles about the movie more recently, they were trying to show him flying so fast that he went back in time (supposedly just going around the Earth so he didn't get lost).

    So how did they explain away the Earth actually stopping, then reversing its rotation, which would have been more disastrous than the nuke detonating on the San Andreas Fault?

    The EC doesn't do much to protect smaller states because the large states with the most EC votes can overwhelm a collection of smaller states.

    And what are the odds that no candidate is ever going to ignore the flyover states again after the amazing turnaround this election had in the final hours?

    Or Girl Scouts in Girl Scout Cookies. This is some weapons grade bull shit deceptive advertising at its best!

    The ingredients mention nothing of girl Scouts. The aloe bottles in question do indeed declare there is aloe in them.

    Still, that was still a great gag in the Addams Family movie. Wednesday pulled off the punchline perfectly.

    In other related news, there is no evidence of babies in samples of Baby Oil, nor of motors in Motor Oil!

    That is a really bad comparison. In the case of baby oil and motor oil, the ingredients listed on the bottles don't say there are babies or motors in the oil. The Aloe bottles actually did list Aloe as one of the top ingredients.

    If you are going to try to make a comparison joke, at least have some factual basis for comparison.

    In this study, what is their standard for determining which news is fake and which is real?

    I bet this is PTSD for the Popeye movie she co-starred with Robin in. A shame too. All the actors perfectly nailed their roles. Unfortunately, that was not enough to redeem a most horrific script and storyline.
