Like an open world version of Carmen Sandiego?

The other brand was 6+... a thinly veiled 7-Up.

I read that as Vince Gilligan saying "Our lawyers want us to call it Part 2, when it's still really just the same Series/Season 5."

In other news, NASA scientists announced confusion after attempting to crash a helicopter and failing despite repeated tries. The helicopter in question had, in various stages, had its stabilizers, fuel tank and even rotors removed. Despite all this, the helicopter remained aloft. "A failure," one scientist was quoted as saying. "We'll just have to shoot it down and try to crash one next next year after more planning." "A helicopter that cannot crash is a tremendous blow to science," another was heard arguing with another, "How are we supposed to obtain crash data with an infinitely levitating hunk of junk?"

So... what does his license plate mean? I assume it's related to being in the ATMoB since the snippet comes right after, but what's the [SCP]-Maker supposed to mean?

He makes Special Containment Procedures to Secure, Contain and Protect makers?

Sadly enough, I read that as [i]trowel[/i] on my first pass and found it a surprisingly interesting statement. Compact, can be used to dig a hole for shelter, a sharpened edge can be used as a knife, build a dam, uproot plants for transit, go gardening... then I saw the response and it turned out to be nothing more than a Hitchhiker's reference. Sigh.

Ever try a Domino's Thin Crust with Double Bacon? One of my friends in college got two of those once and, after the puking up the first one, left the second on his desk. The next day, he found the grease soaked through the pizza, its own box, the lid of the box under it, and the bottom of the box under it, sticking it solidly to the table.

"This thing is as dangerous as a mosquito."
"I was worried it was as dangerous as a shark or a lion."
"But sharks and lions only kill a few people. Mosquitoes kill 2 million people each year."
"One of us needs our threat level assessment recalibrated, and I don’t know if it’s her or me."

My reason: I did six months of brain-meltingly boring data entry. (Seriously-- one of my assignments was to record, without the ability to OCR or copy paste, the list of every to/from/CC/BCC on all company emails. That included a ~5000 name, company-wide email with the body of "TEST". Took over an hour.) I chomped through pretty much everything remotely interesting that had an audiobook version, ranging from economics lectures to the pre-teen How to Train Your Dragon books.

The only thing that I picked up that I did not listen to in its entirety was Palanihuk's Choke... because I couldn't stop laughing when I had it going.

I also expect some kind of preferential treatment for handing over my money early-- sort of like a pre-order bonus, except to a greater degree since more of my money is at stake.

I can't install third-party apps on it though. (Kindle Store, Humble Bundle games, etc.) without modding it though. Which is easy though; maybe 30 minutes from start to finish, if you don't have the files already.
