    According to this illustration, it seems every single probe they send to mars is an utter failiure.

    This is funny just on the superficial level of a stick man being eaten by locusts, but is there some satirical element to it that i'm not getting?

    Having looked in the past at several creationist quote mines, the total lack of context and liberal scattering of [...]'s here leave me deeply unconvinced by your copypasta.

    I don't play any MMOs but I'm told that MMOs changing over to free-to-play is usually a last ditch attempt to avoid canning the whole thing, which is almost always futile. Is this true?

    Ah, we have to pay road tax every 6 or 12 months - they give you a circular ticket referred to as a tax disc that you fix to the inside of your window.

    What is the purpose of making licence plates expire? Do the numbers change or something? We don't have that in the UK - other than being obliged to replace them if they deteriorate below a certain standard of legibility, a car is given number plates the first time it's sold and that's it.

    Have you read it? It really is a big pile of nonsense. I'm not saying that to be glib or senselessly derogatory, but it reads like a David Lynch script.

    It's all i hear 15 year olds talking about nowadays, their favourite star, Jessica Lange. And I get sick of having to buy Cary Grant action figures, but I hear next year Douglas Fairbanks Jr. is coming into fashion.

  22. Re:Top Speed on All-Electric DeLorean Car To Hit the Streets In 2013 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When I bought mine I had to dismantle and reassemble the fuel injection system, replace the fuel sender, fuel pump, gas struts, roof lining, door seals, respray the dashboard and centre console, dismantle and reassemble the blower/heater assembly, remove the front wing/bumper to rewire the cooling fans, remove the rear bumper to adjust its fit, install a self bleed kit on the thermostat, replace the otterstat, replace the seals in the clutch master, rewire a melted fuse box and a million other things i can't remember. I know that car inside and out, i've had it for 7 years, and i have to say it's a thing of beauty, but it was absolutely, definately assembled by barely sentient monkeys. The build state of the thing is an abomination. I found bits of held together with (and this isn't a joke) blu-tack and paperclips. If you stripped one down completely an rebuilt it, then installed a turbocharger,(which plenty of people do) you would have a car that was beyond reproach. As it stands it is a perfectly fine, if extremely quirky car, and I love mine to death, even though most people would evaluate my experience as nothing but pain :)

    This is modded insightful? Labeling and humiliating struggling students is not the only logical alternative to "coddling". Why don't we simply execute the poorest performing student in front of all the others - that should motivate them to excel, right? Anything and everything....

  25. Re:Excellent on Human "Cloning" Makes Embryonic Stem Cells · · Score: 1

    if you look at basic Christian religious beliefs, you'll find that consistency in most of them.

    you need to define the terms "basic" and "christian", and the inclusion of the qualifier "most" renders the strawman accusation toothless. It seems like a setup for the no true scotsman fallacy.
