TFA speculates that the pointing of tusks into the air while surfacing for breathing would be to check the weather
It's speculation like this that I hate. I mean wouldn't the simplest solution be that the narwhals have a giant tooth sticking out forward that it has to point towards the air to breathe efficiently? You should start there then if you find further evidence there may be more to it then on to the next step. Now if how the males surface is far different then how females surface I may give some leeway, but I don't believe that is the case.
I'm guessing your MTV2 is still music videos. MTV2 USED to be good here. Now it is just reruns from MTV ("retro" or "classic" Real Worlds and Road Rules, etc.). MTV-U is fair, but that is only on college campuses to my knowledge. But nothing is what MTV2 used to be and MUCH Music was about a decade ago. I've heard Fuse is good, but I don't have it in my TV lineup so I can't express my opinion.
I think it would be far more interesting to see if the Chimps react the same when taught by elder chimps. Kids have a habit of mimicking other humans, and I imagine chimps would do the same with other chimps. I would imagine the results would be about the same if it was a grown chimp giving the instructions to the young chimps.
Chimps are ruthless as hell, they would most likely torture more and be less discriminant and emotional about their kills. If they could be well disciplined and trained to shoot well they would make a damn effective war machine.
Obviously since he is on Slashdot he is probably on some rare Unix system, and as such couldn't do this, but he could of filled his post with "^H^H^H^H" or "^W".
The elite class has always been educated, so not really. Now if all you know is how to write papers you may have some trouble amassing wealth and leveraging power against the working class, but the educated elite have always used such education to survive much more comfortably and healthily then the workers (until they get a little too comfortable and it is obvious, then the workers kill them and create openings fora new elite.
Not true at all. If a company had a greater then 5% and didn't do a rebuild or swap parts out then they would be out of business. If ythe 5% actually gets sent out then they would be in trouble. But almost every assembly line has a fairly high number of units scrapped.
Because no other religion has the story of Adam and Eve (hint: Islam and Judaism). And it is completely abnormal to hear this outside of the religious world (just pretend mitochondrial Eve was never a term). Yes the story has connections to Christianity, but C.S. Lewis didn't mean it to be a christian story (that is what his religious writings were about). C.S. Lewis made a world called Narnia, and decided this is how Narnia would be saved, yes it is similar to how C.S. Lewis saw Earth, but the world he created was also similar to Earth.
That bugged the crap out of me too, last time I visisted the South I had that same thing happen to me, except I ordered a Pepsi. That blew my mind, how Pepsi was apperantly a type of Coke.
What we really need is more feminine values, nurturing our wildlife and taking care of our own oxygen supply. It is also the heartful and intelligent thing to do.
Does this meant once a month we get to go bat fvcking insane on wildlife and our oxygen supply for a few days?
"Zooplankton (from Greek zoon, or animal), small protozoans or metazoans (e.g. crustaceans and other animals) that feed on other plankton. Some of the eggs and larvae of larger animals, such as fish, crustaceans, and annelids, are included here." (Wikipedia)
While technically a type of plankton, unlike phytoplankton or bacterioplankton the zooplankton is considered an animal, (phytoplankton being a plant/algae and bacterioplankton being bacteria). When most people think plankton they think of phytoplankton/algae.
As I understand it this effects far from 99% of X-BOX-360s, and regardless I think a class action lawsuit would be the way to go if he was actually looking for justice, but I think in this case it is just a guy looking to get a dime off of Microsoft.
So does this mean any odd toy that breaks I can sue the maker for, and ask them to recall ALL of them? I can understand recalling a batch, or a few batches, but the problem does not seem to effect all X-BOX 360's from my understanding, so why recall all of them? You don't make Ford recall all F-150's if only the 1993 version has problems with the rear differancial brake locking up, and likewise you don't tear down all bridges after one fails, you fix he broken bridge and recall the effected cars, and leave the rest alone.
It should be "fu" (FUBAR: Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition), but it is funny nonetheless (if I had mod points I would of modded you up funny instead of posting this).
A bit off topic, but where exactly did this come from? I'm guessing some very old computer system, some coding language, or some old text editor, but I have heard nothings of the origins, can you please enlighten me?
I think he is referring to people not being friendly because he doesn't follow certain social norms. Probably related to showing, deodorant, burping, and/or spitting. We have a lot of little rules that we don't like to be around people when they don't follow them, 75% are hygienic, 10% are behavior, 10% is attitude (douche-nozzles, elitists, snobs, etc.) and 5% is miscellaneous.

What if I don't believe in pianos? Can I still be crushed by one when if falls above me?
If it is true then you are probably screwed, if not then you are probably safe.
You should send me an e-mail, I havea bridge that I think you would be very interested in.

I wasn't referring to the movie, but the actual military jargon. See SNAFU, TARFUN, and FUBAR in a slang dictionary.
It should be "fu" (FUBAR: Fucked Up Beyond All Recognition), but it is funny nonetheless (if I had mod points I would of modded you up funny instead of posting this).
I which I could moderate your moderation as funny.

Oh the irony, the studio for that movie is Sony Pictures.
