That's why discerning women only date hockey fans.

This isn't that uncommon. There are plenty of documented cases of people not showing any vital signs, and then snapping to when taken off life support.

What makes you so sure? Pornography has existed in one form or another ever since our ancestors first began painting on cave walls and baking statues of clay. The word itself is derived from two Greek words, and the name dates to the Victorian era, during which Dickens was one of England's most prolific writers.

Dickens himself may not have been a pornographer, but both the word and concept existed during his lifetime.

For a moment, I thought that said he named one of his kids Porn. I was this close to wanting to read one of his books.

You fail basic economics. Gasoline is a nearly perfectly inelastic commodity. The price can go as high as oil and gas producers want, until there is a viable alternative for consumers.

The entire test hinges on the premise that the symbols he chose accurately represent the music.

What a coincidence, I love nipples and third degree burns!

I always hated math because it's completely arbitrary. It has always been more philosophy than science. The concept of i? Seriously.

If he was at all serious about not caring about money, he wouldn't be waiting until he dies to give it all away. It would already be gone.

The problem with these studies, including Mythbusters, is that they don't stay true to the scenario:

The five second rule is for food that has dropped from a height, not been placed carefully on top of a bacteria smear.

The Myanmar junta is supported by Communist China.

This is just another example of an already rich person trying to make money by buying a house and reselling it. This woman isn't poor.

Given that gas is a nearly perfectly inelastic commodity, this debate is moot. Consumption won't change until a competing fuel is made available.

"hairy legged femocrats"

I'll have to remember that one. And as for the Donald Rumsfeld quote, it makes perfect sense if you don't have your head up your ass. A known known would be what you know for certain; a known unknown are the things you don't know for certain; unknown unknowns represent the question no one has thought to ask yet.

That's some grade-A trolling, right there. The US has, within its borders and EEZs, a massive amount of oil and natural gas, and it's easier to ship oil here than to England. We also don't get half our oil from a pipeline controlled and taxed by neo-Soviet Russia. There's a reason oil is so expensive for you. Americans are pissed about the price of gas because we know how ridiculously cheap it is to produce and transport for us.
