I just want one seat from First Class. Is it better or worse than a Lazy Boy chair?

1. He was put into a toaster, and on the third minute, he rose again. He was put on wall to judge the living and the dead.

2. Serve it at Communion: "Body of Christ" - "Amen". "No, really. This part was the body."

Mom's gonna be so mad when she sees what you've done.

Hot!

IANARS (I am not a rocket scientist) but, although there is no oxygen in space, there is oxygen in oxygen tanks. And rocket fuel may contain an oxygen source mixed in. Anyone know this for a fact? Not to mention, that the entire habitable area of the TV/movie space craft is filled with oxygen or oxygen-containing 'atmosphere'. So you may have a fire or explosion, albeit only as long as the O2 source holds up.

Moving in slow-mo in space? I'd move in slow-mo, if it helped me avoid hitting my head, hitting vital sensitive equipment, and otherwise flailing about. Haste makes waste.

My questions:

With laser guns, why do stormtroopers keep missing? Why miss at all?

Why do robots bleep and bloop? If you must communicate with a robot, wouldn't you make it (as robots are all 'made') able to communicate in your language --- right out da box?

Why does Schwarzenegger's Terminator have an Austrian accent, if it was manufactured in the U.S.? (Wasn't it?) Austrian voice chip?

In Tom Cruise's War of the Worlds, why do the aliens vaporize people that they will later collect for food? Playing with their food? Naughty.

I like the conclusion about the War on Work and the negative outcomes of engaging in it. But I don't take as 'made', his arguement attempting to debunk the wisdom of "follow your passion". I posit that these people who work dirty jobs (for small money or big) do so only because passion is in there somewhere. They buck the trend (i.e., seeking easy jobs with good money) because something in the dirty job "does it" for them. Anyways, great talk by Mike.

So wait - when I have that sensation of falling when I'm asleep, I really did fall?

"We're are now entering Crips territory. Please put on your blue bandanas."

Nice work if you can get it,/
And you can get it....

If your parents had the same attitude
and didn't just steer you into the field
with the highest (perceived) probability
of high income, high job security,
autonomy and respect.

(E.g., physician, lawyer. Not teacher. Pity if you were "born to teach" but took the long journey through medical school to realize this.)

Loop the Loop - awesome. I liked when the driver says, "wow, I did it!!!" It's a renewal of the feeling from childhood when I put my toy cars through a loop for the first time.

It should 'print' something like "Top Gun". Or how about different settings, each print a top movie of the 1980s?

I watched the vid here on neato at 3AM. I thought it was a real HSN-type channel -- I fell for it. Too funny, and believable! That salesman 'sold' it!

The toll-free number worked for me, BTW.

I agree with 'wow'. That would be the appropriate Catholic line of thought.

Then let the punishment fit the crime, sorta. When caught and convicted, he should receive raps on the knuckles with a ruler, equal in number to the cent value of what he stole. Throw in the cent value of the purse? (JC Penney, $29,99 = 2,999 raps added.) Add jail time, sitting in the front of the cell in student desk, in view of the others. Did I miss anything?

Firefox is very insecure. It's always telling me, "Look at me! I'm infinitely customizable through add-ons! Put your tabs on the side in tree-style! Play music right in the browser! Live bookmarks! No one else has 'em!" ;-)

Seriously, I love Firefox. Just fix the memory leaks, please.

AdBlock and NoScript FTW.

DRob, that Michigan deposit refund is such a good motivator, that folks from Ohio come in to collect refunds --- on bottles and cans not bought in Michigan. Michigan loses millions of dollars every year because of it.
