It's very hard to hit someone in the nose, unless you're very quick or they failed to put up a guard.

To win, I recommend fighting dirty: don't let your opponent prepare his stance. Once you've committed to fighting, hit early and hit hard, preferably before your opponent can even put up a fighting stance.

If your opponent has long hair, grab it. Game over for him.

Sorry Xerloq! We experimented a bit with the edit comment button, but that little piece of code choked the server, so we disabled it.

Thanks JPB! (what took them so long?)

@muerzin: I wrote my doctoral thesis on yeast prion (That's me on PubMed)

My problem with Macs (when I was using it back then) was superficial: I simply couldn't get used to the one button mouse. It seemed like such a waste of functionality (I right/left click on my PC mouse all the time) and I remember Jobs was so adamant in keeping it that way. I don't know if this is still the case today.

No, I'm not from NYC - and I quite like Singapore!

Well... given that this was a TV show, maybe it was staged...

You're here, aren't you webrunner? :)

I vote for Sid Morrison to go on Jeopardy!

So, no one picked up on the fact that the dealership didn't notice the change for 3 weeks?

I'm continually amazed at the things I learned while reading the comment on Neatorama. Thanks Crudely Wrott!

Link and embed still work for me, Robustion!

Y'know, I wonder why Trader Joe's doesn't just open an online store for people who don't have a market near their homes.

About the dangers of pot: "According to the NIDA [National Institute on Drug Abuse], the conclusion that can be drawn from this scientific research is: someone who smokes marijuana every day may be functioning at a reduced intellectual level all of the time, even during periods of brief abstinence." (source)

And no, I don't smoke pot or drink alcohol. Well, I don't abstain from alcohol but just never got the taste for it. My "drug" of choice is Neatorama ;)

@Cori - re: Neatorama being plagued by all of this political stuff. Having personally written close to 10,000 posts on Neatorama, I got really tired of just posting innocuous "neat" stuff.

Don't get me wrong - the bulk of Neatorama will continue to be interesting tidbits from around the Net (I promise!), but I'd also like to post something of a more serious nature. The discussions are what I like most about editing for Neatorama, and you don't get serious back and forth on a post about a neat gizmo or something.

Minimum speed limit is a confusing concept.

You can qualify it all you want that it applies only when the situation allows it. But invariably, some stupid jerk would still plow at that speed during bad weather and cause an accident.

I think the concept behind the legality of candid photography, as long as they're taken in public areas, is that there is no expectation of privacy in public places.
