  1. Re:Bloody Luxury on Judging The Apple 'Sweatshop' Charge · · Score: 4, Funny

    And you tell the young people of today that and they won't believe you!

  2. Re:Damn devil ... on The World's Deepest Dinosaur · · Score: 1

    No no, it was God who put it there to test our faith and further weed out the non-believers.

  3. Re:Why Farming for Gas Sucks on Kids Build Soybean Fueled Sports Car · · Score: 1

    Is farming for gas like farming for gold? Cause that's a pain in the ass to do.

  4. Is this really a viable alternative? on Kids Build Soybean Fueled Sports Car · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure you'd have the same exact problem with soy plants as you would with fuel derived from corn, and that is the amount of land you have to produce it. I know that for corn, in order to replace the current supply of oil you'd need a heck of a lot of extra land, way more than what is currently available...

  5. Re:Interesting but not too surprising on Glass Shapes Can Make Us Drink Too Much · · Score: 1
    Mmm, I remember that one, I believe it was on an educational video as well.

    Adding on to what jpmkm said, it's probably related with size/shape/color constancy of vision, dealing with the fact that despite orientation, distance from our eyes or the color of light shining on an object, we still manage to retain its original properties. Oddly enough, young children, as young as infants, actually have these perceptions of constancy. Presumably "volume constancy" isn't as necessary for survival as the others.

  6. Re:Girls are Evil on The World's Most Beautiful Equations? · · Score: 1

    And really the phrase "time and money" implies addition, not multiplication.

  7. Re:oh yay on D&D Online Stress Beta Begins · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about Photoshop? That's a damn fun game.

  8. Brontosaurus on New Mammal Species Found in Borneo · · Score: 5, Funny

    Was it just me, or did the image of the new mammal first look like a tiny brontosaurus?

  9. Tastes Like Gravel on Webcomics Dissected · · Score: 1

    Perry Bible Fellowship is definitely a great one, but I would have to say the best one I've ever come across was Tastes Like Gravel. Sadly, it's been discontinued for quite a while now, bit it was awesome.

  10. Re:Least I could do on Webcomics Dissected · · Score: 2, Funny

    Meh, I would hardly say Least I Could Do is the greatest comic.

    Here's every LICD comic ever made:

    Frame 1
    Rayne: I'm awesome. The greatest. A sex god. My penis is huge.
    Frame 2
    Someone Else: No you're not, no you're not, no you're not, and no it isn't.
    Rayne: Yes, I am, and I will prove it
    Frame 3
    *Rayne does something*
    Frame 4
    Hot Girl [in bed naked]: Wow, that was amazing.
    Rayne [also in bed naked]: Yeah, I know. I'm the greatest.

  11. Re:Worst. Mouse. Evar. on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    That seems like a deal-killer to me.

    Hmm... that would seem like a very large flaw, not to mention a pain in the ass.
    I guess we'll just have to see once more people review them.

  12. Re:Worst. Mouse. Evar. on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    When you're "holding down" the button, your finger is just on the mouse, no pressure needed. -- Ok, that's another reason this is the worst mouse ever. You can't rest your fingers on the mouse buttons. The buttons are not touch sensitive, there is still a mechanical action that takes place. "On Mighty Mouse, the entire top shell is the actual button. As with previous versions of the Apple mouse, simply press on the upper surface to click -- the body pivots up and down to actuate the clever click mechanism."
