Sure, but first ... *Another stupid LOLcat picture* ... :naughty: Are you still bitter about the time I corrected you? The UK police guarding the prince's limo had guns. "They were lucky not to be shot." was a direct quote from those police. Remember when you doubted this, rolled your eyes, and mad...

Light Sabers I've never understood the practicality of light sabers. If you had the technology to produce beams of light capable of cutting through anything, you'd think you would have some kind of gun or projectile. It always seemed silly that Star Wars fighters were thousands of years in the futu...

They should have drawn Eve as Boxxy.

Oh.

I thought the RFIDs all transmit the same code and it only protects against the production of counterfeits.

It sounds like the guys who built the snowman were hardly children! They sound like juvenile, college-aged dudes, snickering as the bus driver (joining in the fun) ran it over.

The article says $20,000 - not two million.

Why? The chips are redeemable for cash.

They can now return to the casino, unmasked, and cash the chips in over time.

What?

Any good punishment should work as a deterrent. Nobody paces outside a liquor store, contemplating if they should rob it or not, and considers the possibility of lethal injection. They fear prison. Nobody is afraid of the death penalty because it's so rarely used. So ironically, our apprehension abo...

Hahahaha! I created a second account (not to comment as a sockpuppet but to view the feedback section and responses to my threads there.) So I sent the moderator a private message, telling him the account was only to view old posts and not to delete/ban the account. He didn't heed my advice. I was p...

Yes, if by "heat" you mean excessive bullying, warnings, personal attacks, and unfair moderating. You were one of the offenders.

I really like atheist celebrities like Richard, Hitchens, PZ, Bill Maher, The Mythbusters, Penn and Teller, etc. You'd have a hard time telling from your youtube channel. :tea: http://www.youtube.com/user/JQisAwesome#p/u My Youtube channel's main purpose is to troll. Well, not really. It's supposed...

Not to criticize the backbone of the Chilean people, but if this had happened in America, that policeman wouldn't have made it down the block. There would have been an absolute shitstorm - both online as the video propagated - but also in the street when it happened. Americans don't put up with tyra...

I left voluntarily after my 5th advisory from the moderators and the 50th blatant trolling against me went unpunished. They have a Forum User Agreement which the regulars have learned to violate without technically violating. I created an avatar very similar to their official "Banned" avatar, only i...

Fixed.

Welcome JQ.

Do you know MelodySheep from Youtube? I ask because he is also a science-loving, keyboard-playing Washingtonite.

I get that the ACLU is worried about the precedent of censorship that this case represents - but... road salt? Seriously? I suppose the terrorists can steal a bunch of sodium chloride and make mustard gas. I think. But... this is hardly an Orwellian tragedy. Sounds like a property owner pissed off t...
