Yeah, the guy who looks like Seth Rogan looks nothing like Seth Rogan. The guy who looks like Seth Green does look like Seth Green, but it's not Seth Green.
It's funny how often people will argue a point without first looking it up. Yes, Cog was two takes, edited together/ It also involved CGI for various purposes, including changing the speed of some of the action, recentering the shot and editing together the aforementioned takes.
Oh, and ...
"And it was taken in more than one takes yes, but the final product of what you’re seeing is in one take."
... makes no sense. It was either shot in one take or it wasn't. If there was even one edit, it wasn't one take.
For what it's worth, Richards did play a bumbling detective after Seinfeld, in the short-lived "The Michael Richards Show." I wonder if perhaps the Monk connection is a mistaken inference.
"why would one destroy a laptop in order to promote a company that gives children laptops?"

I believe what you mean to say is that no matter how many intermediate fossils we find, it is never sufficient enough for the creationists.
This is paranormal-fanatic speak for "No one has come up with any explanation I will accept."
