Are you the one who thinks that those WTC photos where someone photoshopped in some missiles are real?
Is this company working on a solution that will have the cell phone to project the movies on the inside of my windshield in my car? It would make a pretty good widescreen display to add cinema to the driving experience.
Missouri is mentioned? I'm wondering if this has to do with the forthcoming "Ringworld" SciFi production. The Gateway Arch would make a good ultra-cheapo looks-like-hell "Arch" of the Ringworld sky. Has anyone in St. Louis seen a fat guy running around in a painted-orange "Puss in Boots" halloween costume?

' I'm getting the poo from a 1 million Genetically modified monkeys on typewriters thrown at me with these movies '
But since it is Scifi Channel, you know it is good glowing digital poo!
' To this say I miss 'The Invisible Man' the series. I donno if they ran out of money or budget '
I can just hear it now: "Guess what? Yeah, they cancelled our project. It turns out that they were so cheap that a show with a guy who isn't there that you never see was too expensive for those skinflints. Hey! Do you think our pilot for "Inside the Black Hole" might go?"
You know, if it turns out that this "sex game" is real, it just might be possible that "GTA" is not suitable for young children after all. This really changes things.

Interesting site. Did you bother to scroll down? I did. There are interesting things which wipe out the other trivialities. You stopped before you got to these. Apparently, you did not want to "let little things like facts get in the way of a good display of ignorant fucktarditis":
# "The plaintiffs were apparently able to document 700 cases of burns from McDonald's coffee over 10 years, or 70 burns per year. But that doesn't take into account how many cups are sold without incident. A McDonald's consultant pointed out the 700 cases in 10 years represents just 1 injury per 24 million cups sold! For every injury, no matter how severe, 23,999,999 people managed to drink their coffee without any injury whatever. Isn't that proof that the coffee is not "unreasonably dangerous"?"
# "Even in the eyes of an obviously sympathetic jury, Stella was judged to be 20 percent at fault -- she did, after all, spill the coffee into her lap all by herself. The car was stopped, so she presumably was not bumped to cause the spill. Indeed she chose to hold the coffee cup between her knees instead of any number of safer locations as she opened it. Should she have taken more responsibility for her own actions?"
# "Coffee is supposed to be served in the range of 185 degrees! The National Coffee Association recommends coffee be brewed at "between 195-205 degrees Fahrenheit for optimal extraction" and drunk "immediately". If not drunk immediately, it should be "maintained at 180-185 degrees Fahrenheit". (Source: NCAUSA.)"
' The ruling applies to companies using logging as a means to track employees. '
This is especially important in the north woods, where bosses of some tech firms commonly threaten to discipline employees by putting them on lumberjack duty. It can really keep them on track.
Using these criteria, neither Afghanistan or Iraq counted as a humanitarian intervention. They both had a "humanitarian crisis" for years and were mostly ignored (or left to simmer on the back burner, anyway). Somalia needs to be added to the list of "humanitarian interventions", though.
' Do you ever wonder if we had just stayed focused there, instead of splitting our resources, could we have caught him by now? '
Isn't OBL believed by many or most to be in Pakistan? If this is the case, a significantly greater effort in Afghanistan would not "get him". Isn't finding him in Pakistan much more dependent on the cooperation of the Pakistani government and local military and other leaders, than it is on the size and "dedication" of the American forces?
It can also be said that Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Kosovo were also about oil. I've seen claims to this effect in "respected journals" like The Nation and Z Magazine. They mention secret plans to run oil pipelines across each one of these countries: the real cause for all of the military intervention. This is the "Everything is a war for oil!" mentality. No country is free of a global web of imaginary pipelines.
The reason for the rage against their targets is that their targets do not submit to the Muslim god. While we can do what some demand here and let them exterminate the Israelis for the crime of being Jewish, it is mere crumbs for them.
' I think al-Qaeda's motivation is more about the Western World's pro-Israel, pro-Jewish at the expense of Islam (Palestine) '
Palestine is actually not that important to them, as long as it is Muslim. Hatred for Jews, and especially the resentment that Jews are living free of Islamic law in a place so close to (Saudi) Arabia is a much bigger part of it. Especially since Israel was formerly part of the Islamic empire: they are very offended when a place that was conquered and forced to turn to Islam later becomes non-Islamic.
The Palestinians are a pawn for most of the Islamic and "Arab imperialist" extremists. Syria and other Arab countries actually oppress the Palestinians in their borders by denying them citizenship and forcing them to live in refugee camps. The Jordanian government actually once massacred large numbers of Palestinians: a number many times greater than those killed by Israelis in the intifadas.
Something similar was the main reason for the train bombing in Madrid, Spain. The Al-Qaeda branch there was acting on a centuries-old resentment among the Islamic extremists that the Spanish rose up and drove out the Muslim invaders that ruled Spain.... hundreds of years ago.

First, the comment "there is no other kind!". Is there something about McDonalds coffee I did not know about? Do they sell vibrating cups too?
'damages when the defendant is as huge as McDonald's and thus won't be punished by a smaller verdict.
Damn straight! McDonalds was criminally negligent for not requiring all of its female coffee drinkers to show proof that they were wearing waterproof chastity belts.
Back off, man. I'm bidding on all the medical droids, and if i win the auctions, I'm sending them to Africa to do medical work. I'm doing my part. After that, I'm going to figure out of the big beam on the Death Star can be tuned so it can wipe out the tsetse fly.
Isn't it the shocker, though, when you drive west on I635 and cross over from Missouri? Suddenly, the forests give way to shallow trilobite-filled swamps as far as the eye can see.
"That's okay. Someone stole the Darwin fish off my car just before I left Texas."
Look at your trunk lid again. No fish, right? Look closely. See that salamander? Yes, that one, next to the keyhole. The fish was not stolen. It merely evolved.
Here's the deal. Before the trial, she has to pick whether or not she will win it. When the trial is over, if the actual result differs from her prediction, she loses regardless and pays court costs.

Did you know, that, on the way, it made the Cardiff run in 12 miles? Too bad, however, that several muggles saw the thing. They had to be mind-wiped.
