  1. Re:15 Reasons to boycott IMDb on IMDb Turns 15 · · Score: 1

    Considering "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (aka the Theme from 2001) is from the late 19th Century, I _think_ it would be in the public domain by now.

  2. Re:Hmm... patents worth bundles on PTO Eliminates "Technological Arts" Requirement · · Score: 1

    Well, if you manage to patent 1+1=2, then I would simply declare 1+1=10, patent it, and give it freely to the public.

  3. Re:A Fucking Patent on PTO Eliminates "Technological Arts" Requirement · · Score: 1

    But if you refuse to issue liscences, then all those fine ladies you will be with will be fucking illegally? What would be a suitable penalty for that? Spank them, perhaps? O:)

  4. Re:A Step Forward In the Fight Against Spam on FBI Raids Home of Spam King Alan Ralsky · · Score: 1

    Would tax evasion also be one of his crimes? Or do you think that asshat is smart enough to remember how Capone got nailed?

  5. Re:Will I be notified on FBI Raids Home of Spam King Alan Ralsky · · Score: 0, Troll

    Even more appropriate would be for them to shove all those penis enlargement pills down his throat until his dick explodes.

  6. Re:Not Tested on Humans on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do I dare say it?

    I, for one, welcome our new drugged-up hyperintelligent rodent overlords.

    Now, all this weed talk is giving me the munchies.

  7. Re:Muddying the waters on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Words of wisdom seen in someone's sig on another forum I frequent...

    "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

  8. Re:I don't get it... on Cannabinoids Induce Brain Cell Growth? · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be hippiecampus now?

  9. Re:Anyone.. on Capitalizing on Melting Polar Ice · · Score: 1

    How many billions of years? IIRC, our sun will become a red giant in about 4 billion years and incinerate this planet.

    Can't think of any smartass interpretations for the other signs.

    I'm thankful it isn't that way. If it was, I would have been killed late last year when the driver of the semi I was passing decided that he wanted to be in the same lane I was in, which wedged the right side of my car underneath his back trailer: http://webpages.charter.net/scarletdown/XFers/Geo- 1.JPG

  12. Re:Sounds cool... on Distant Planet Imaging Project Gets More Funding · · Score: 1

    If they did it as a giant phallus, then people might mistake it for one of the ancient gods from a dimension beyond our comprehension, like those in this video: http://newgrounds.com/portal/view/226663 (Click the "Watch This Movie" link to see it.)

  13. Re:And who has the authority to adopt this policy? on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall that with Panama, Noriega declared that a state of war existed between them and the U.S. Therefore, a day or two later, we gave them a little war. So even if our Congress didn't actually declare war, the other side did.

  14. Re:Well, there's a reason on Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge · · Score: 1

    I thought Mr. Luthor, Otis, and Miss Tessmacher already tried that back in 1978, and failed, thanks to that guy from Krypton.

  15. Re:Alimentary, my dear Watson... on Supernova 1987A Decoded · · Score: 1

    I know I should try to respond to that with some sort of "ass" joke. Butt, at this late hour, all I can think of is getting my booty sleep. So, I'll have to pass on that for now.

  16. Re:Elementary, my dear Watson... on Supernova 1987A Decoded · · Score: 1

    It was the Suncrusher that made stars go supernova, as demonstrated in the Heir to the Empire novels. (At least, I think it was Heir to the Empire. Been well over a decade since I read them.)

  17. Brand Lock-In on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 1

    That hypothetical situation with Sony reminds me of how back in the late 60s or early 70s, when Magnavox released the original Odyssey video game console. The product bombed badly because the marketing was a bit misleading. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but many potential buyers thought that the game would only work on Magnavox TV sets, which IIRC, were only sold through authorized Magnavox stores.

    Even better...

    Give a man a fish, and he has fish for dinner.
    Teach him to fish, and you have just eroded your market base.

  19. Re:Republicrats on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 1

    It's too bad that the ones who voted for Bush didn't understand that. I mean, if a vote for Nader was a vote for Bush, they should have just gone ahead and voted for Nader.

    (I think that might have originally been a Jay Leno line, or a variation of one of his.)

  20. Re:Meh... on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 1

    Ah, I believe the process is:

    1 - Turn condom inside-out.
    2 - Shake the fuck out of it.

    (I hope it's okay to use the "fuck" word here.)

  21. Re:using other containers have same 'crime'? on Refilling Ink Cartridges Now a Crime? · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's just like the Kikkoman Soy Sauce bottles at my favorite Chinese buffet. They have "Refill only with Kikkoman" printed on them. I've been tempted every time I see those to sneak a few drops of La Choy soy sauce into one of them and see if it would explode and take out the entire shopping center that the resteraunt is in.

    And I believe that pornography as far as the Middle East is concerned, is anything showing skin above the ankles and below the eyes. :D

  23. Re:they invented on Modern Humans, Neanderthals Shared Earth for 1,000 Years · · Score: 1

    Neanderthals are alive and well, and living among modern Humans. Just pay a visit to the shipyard a few miles from where I live one of these times.

  24. Re:Spam is spam on MS Speaks Out Against New Zealand's Anti Spam Bill · · Score: 1

    I don't know if you are in the U.S. or not. But if you are, then I would like to point out that the National Do Not Call List: https://www.donotcall.gov/default.aspx actually works.

    I registered my phone number back in February, and starting a month later, I have received very few telemarketing calls, perhaps one or two every couple weeks, when I used to get telespammed heavily on an almost daily basis.
