Aside from the horrible camera quality and even worse acting, Doctor Who has been somewhat entertaining for me. If the taxpayers don't like what their tax dollars are going to, can't they just pull the funding and put it somewhere else?

1: He was a kid, 2: He wore no clothes, 3: He has a *very* close relationship with his pet horse, which he named "Pokey".
Next thing you know, some asshat "judge" will be outlawing Gumby stuff, telling us that Gumby memorabilia supported child porn because his enemies, the "Blockheads" were really trying to kidnap him so they could ship him to a child porn studio in Malaysia.....
Ironically, the most "child-porn safe" cartoon character has to be South Park's Kenny, since he is so bundled up in snow gear, all you can see are his eyes.
"It covers the "simultaneous toasting of a bread component" "

"The assembly tool contains a "cavity" into which the sandwich-maker places the garnish ("including, but not limited to, lettuce, onions, tomatoes, pickles, chilli, coleslaw, giardinera, peppers, spinach, radishes, olives, egg, cooked bacon and cheese") and the condiments ("ketchup, mustard, mayonnaise, sauces, relish, oils, salt, pepper, barbecue sauce, steak sauce, hot sauce, dressings including salad dressings, yogurt, butter, margarine and liquid or semi-liquid cheese")"

"You know, I reckon it would have been much much better to shut the company down (yes the millions of dollars damages will shut it down and facebook might get a few grand out of it) but I say put the spammers into jail for a bit. Not over the top, but say six months?"
-SIX MONTHS?!?! I hope you mean, "six months in Guantanamo Bay" or "six months in San Quentin" or "six months of waterboarding". Six months in a minimum-security "Fed Club-Med" as punishment for spamming is doing them a favor.
Now, when someone speeds through a speed trap, they:
1) Pick up their iPhone
2) Boot the application, and root through the menus to enter all the information: login information, date, time, location, type of trap, city, state, country, what type of road, department, details of where the cop is located, etc......All while DRIVING down the street/freeway etc. So now to warn others about a speed trap (provided they have an iPhone AND are traveling the same route you are), you have to drive AND do all the above mentioned steps.
Keep in mind, you may have avoided the speed trap, but now you place yourself at a *GREATLY* increased risk of an accident. Not to mention that using your iPhone, or cell phone, while driving can be considered illegal in many, many places now.
Also, speed traps move like crazy. They may b there one minute, and gone two minutes later.
Back in high school, some of us had some pretty 'adult' pics that had been translated into ASCII characters. What was even cooler was that you couldn't see what they really displayed. If you didn't know the correct font, type size, and justification, the file just displayed a bunch of number/letters/symbols.
Though, I would think it would be pretty hard for anybody that has enough of a presense to be noticed like this to be able to compose a test and not have a bias one way or another.
"Combine moving inept corrupt people into agencies, with corrupt people from Microsoft and the CEO of companies like GE, walmart, Target, GM, etc and you have the downfall of American civilization and probably the west."

Cool! Now I can spend money on something that is even less useful than before!
So, if I legally buy a copy of a movie, play it on a macbook, and try to view it at home through another connected video device, I can't.....Even though there is absolutely no piracy going on.
It's amazing to see how people keep buying Apple products even though Apple puts less and less functionality in them.

HAHAHA!
I stand corrected.
Are they absolutely SURE it was a meteorite, and not another piece of Skylab? .....I smell a NASA CONSPIRACY!!!1!

I guess Gumby has a serious problem now:
1: He was a kid,
2: He wore no clothes,
3: He has a *very* close relationship with his pet horse, which he named "Pokey".

Wow..... McDonalds *IS* getting desperate.....
I'd *LOVE* to see the court case of:

I can already tell you, "I would be lovin' it!"

"``the ultimate speed trap repository available to you when you need it most while you're driving.''"
It should read:
"``the ultimate repository of outdated speed trap information available to you when you need it most while you're driving.''"
Seeing as how cops frequently change places when monitoring speeds, the information in their "repository" becomes useless faster than you are driving.
The French lose.....again.
Great, just great.
Now, when someone speeds through a speed trap, they:
1) Pick up their iPhone

A cheap radar detector would be much better.
Just imagine the penalty if this had been a male teacher who did that.
Kinda funny how you never hear Feminazis criticize the disproportionate penalties in sex crimes between men and women.

Heh heh heh.....worked pretty well.
Good point.
