So I can charge Westinghouse for the electricity used by the TV they made, since when I press the "off" button on the remote is goes into a standby mode?
If it brings you a $4,800 electricity bill for that, then yes, I think you can.
I drive on the right, because the left is where the incoming traffic is and I have a genetic predisposition to keep alive.

Here in Brazil things are even worse. But I will not talk about now, but how it was in the beginning. When cellphones became digital, you couldn't buy a cellphone that sent SMS's, they could only receive. They only started to sell SMS sending capable phones when sales began to go down to have something new and increase phones selling. Sad, but true.
I was once playing Civilization and Ghandi told me something like "Give us what we want. And take notice that we have NUCLEAR WEAPONS!". Very not ghandish...
And in response, General Dynamics developed a cloud-powered submarine.
As amazing as it might look, Thornsen Nordenfelt made a series of steam-powered submarines. Of course the steam isn't the power source, but it makes your joke to look not that crazy.

..but how can they make sure the new kilogram weighs a kilogram?:)
Actually the kilogram is a unit of mass, not weight. We say "it weights X kilograms", but we should really say "it weights under Earth's surface gravity the same as X kilograms". But of course we don't say that. We don't even say kilogram, we usually say "kilo", which means only "a thousand"!!

I refuse to split a sphere in east and west too. But with this huge stony sphere under my feet, I have no problem at all. Neither do cartographers.
(Somehow I'm still amazed that the GP post of mine was modded "informative" instead of "troll". Sorry for trolling, anyways.)
how do you divide a sphere in east and west?
Easy! What is west from Greenwich is the western hemisphere, what is east from Greenwich is the eastern hemisphere.
Have you been sleeping during geography classes?
The headline guy was fired for that one.
Here in Brazil that news about lead in Mattel's toys painting got this headline:
China-made toys cause brain damage
What? No vinegar?
I'm taking your comment with a pinch of salt...
What for?!?
American Footbal or English Football?
Anyone willing to watch a camcorder bootleg of a movie is not going to shell out for the product anyhow.
Anyone willing to watch a camcorder bootleg of a movie deserves a psychiatric treatment.
There, I correct if for you.

Apparently you've never heard of high-end Alienware notebooks. (Of course, they cost a lot of money!)

Does Anyone Really Use Their Wii Anymore?
Are you kidding? In some days I have to fight people at home to play on a PSOne! We would kill one another if we had a Wii...
Heavenly crap!

I wonder if I use bold in my signature, people will notice my posts.
Hey, it works!
Let's look at the chicken/human comparison a little more:
Chickens don't need a reason to cross the road.
Damn! I got here too late!!
There was even Monty Python reference and "did it run Linux?"...
Penguins don't run, silly!
REPENT! The end is coming!
