  1. Why wait until 2050? on RoboCup 2007 Opens At Georgia Tech · · Score: 1

    Well, if there are no limits, somebody should see me about my robot soccer team concept. 1. RoboGoalie is slightly taller than the goals and slightly wider than the goals, and is made of completely solid material. Now all you need to do is come up with a robot that can kick _one_ goal in 90 minutes.......

  2. Re:an unfortunate encounter on Randal Schwartz's Charges Expunged · · Score: 2, Funny

    Well there you go. I've been trying for years to become more witty and improve my mental processes, and all I had to do was go out and learn Perl. Thanks for the tip. :)

  3. Somebody has to say it on Pictures of Titan's Lakes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Maybe the methane came from Uranus? Sorry. :)

  4. Evidence of life? on Pictures of Titan's Lakes · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm surprised this isn't being reported as evidence that cows once lived on Titan.

  5. Re:Wootz? on Ancient Swords Made of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From TFA: "Their blades bear a banded pattern thought to have been created as the sword was annealed and forged." That's actually incorrect. The pattern is in fact the ancient arabic translation of the word pwned!!, repeated over and over. (Also from TFA) "But his suggestion isn't necessarily rock solid." Does anybody else reckon this may not have even made Slashdot if it wasn't for the steel being called w00tz!??

  6. Nothing at all from the "Moon landing hoax" folks? on An Indian On the Moon By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Wow, I thought at least somebody would have said something. What if they can't find an American flag fluttering in the breeze when they get there? Wouldn't that be kinda funny? For those who think the original moon landing was a hoax owing more to Hollywood than NASA, some good news. You'll be able to spot the hoax this time around. The Indian film-makers won't be able to resist having 500 astronauts in sequined space suits pop out of craters to dance with the main characters when they hit the moon.

  7. About time on ISS Construction Resumes · · Score: 1

    I submitted my request for the disco ball years ago!

  8. Re:obvious question on First Phase of AIDS Vaccine Trials Successful · · Score: 1

    "David Rasnick, who invented protease inhibitors" Is it just me, or does that sound like something you would wear to a strip club?

  9. History of the internet? on What Should People Understand About Computers? · · Score: 1

    If the history of the internet comes first on your list of things to put in your book, you're probably not the person who should be writing said book. You'll have a hard time finding a customer with the patience to get past chapter one.

  10. Now there's a great merchandising idea..... on Kong Mirrors Real Evolutionary Paths · · Score: 2, Funny

    Kongdoms! I think you might be onto something there!

  11. Great News! on Printing Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Now YOUR history can be written by the winners too!

  12. It's too late for that on Conquering the LaGrange Points? · · Score: 1

    I already bought the titles to the LaGrange Points for fifty bucks on the internet.
