Freshman year, MIT. Went to the top of the "crow's nest" atop the MIT Greene Building and watched snow falling in sensurround, as it were.

Classes were delayed several days. Played Risk.

Maybe this one will get better reviews than Mel Gibson's. Haven't we had ENOUGH Jesus movies? The guy's been dead a while, now.

Too bad Flickr faces becoming useless, buggy and horrible if Microsoft succeeds in buying Yahoo.

Yea, and, like , you have a pacemaker. Or a digital camera that might get fried? This is one of those things tht might sound OK on paper, but is phenomenally stupid in real life, like the Taser.

The Constitution says nothing about private individuals owning guns. It's also true that it would be impossible to do away with guns any more than we can do away with illegal drugs. I say this: make guns illegal, because at least that will reduce Crimes of Stupidity-- people accidently shooting themselves or family members.

I don't know who would be more delighted; Buckminster Fuller, or Dean Martin.

"A mere 78 years separate the 1st flight by the Wright brothers(1903) and the 1st flight of the Space Shuttle(1981), and only 83 years separate Thomas Edison’s 1st light bulb(1879) and the 1st practical visible-spectrum LED(1962)."

The latter achievement was harder; it involved quantum mechanics.

"Nah, I’m always careful to use “Red Chinese” to better discern between them and our nearly forgotten friends & allies in the Republic of China (a.k.a. Taiwan)."

I'm with you, man. I knew when Nixon claimed that capitalism would lead to democracy in China it was a crock. The Chinese pollute, steal jobs, and cause global unrest (Darfur, Tibet, Burma, North Korea). We're not perfect, either, but at least we have a written Constitution.

"Wait, it’s illegal to sell vibrators in some states? What on Earth"

Bush should use one to vibrate his brain. It might help.

"You would not fall all the way through cuz the earth is hollow and populated by many races including aliens."

Quick! Build a fence to keep them from stealing our landscaping jobs!

In Utah, you'll be able to wed several robots, some of them underage.

"Which, of course, says nothing at all about the relative merits of libertarianism"

I'm not a big fan of Libertarianism, but it beats "stupid Conservatism" of the type we've seen post Reagan, and particularly, these past 6 years. Libertarians, at least, believe the Govt shouldn't mess with people's lives. They wouldn't be running into Terry Schiavo's room to stick the plug back in or shipping random people with Islamic names off to secret prisons in "Very-Bad-istan" without a trial.

"i dont see Bush on that list."

I think they mean NATURAL disasters. Bush was courtesy of Diebold.

If you include ALL disasters, September 11 was way bigger than, say, Mt. Saint Helens.

That whole Microsoft "My Documents" thing was always puerile. Kind of the clueless geek engineer concept of how to make something seem user-friendly.

Have you checked out "hello Cthulhu" based on "Hello Kitty"?

Lion's vs Christians....it's so--- Roman Empire.
