"An ultra-strong glass that has been looking for a purpose since its invention in 1962"

"Corning set out in the late 1950s to find a glass as strong as steel."

"Then in 1964, Corning devised an ingenious method called "fusion draw" to make super-thin, unvaryingly flat glass."

I was downloading the torrented facebook files over verizon.

In Soviet Russia, law plagiarizes you!

I file ze bugs reports just zhis morning!

And whereas I do have some sensation of 3D vision, it's not quite as good as what most people have.

I was a forceps delivery baby, and my head and eye socket on one side were slightly misshapen. I say slightly because now at adulthood most people never notice anything off about my eyes or head unless I call it to their attention. Mt left eye droops a little relative to my right eye, but I can mentally pick which eye I favor at any given time. Sometimes it's a blessing, other times a curse. Like if I favor my left eye, my right eye aims oddly skyward. O_o

Run! He'll eat us all!

This guy is a genius! With an imagination like his, he should write science fiction!

That's true for most people, but my ears are better and I can hear the difference. :P

like when I open a local file in my browser I get "file:///"

we still have people right now saying "H-T-T-P colon backslash backslash"

With an extra digit for security! ;-)

Ditko is still alive. Not sure about Don Heck's heirs.

Kirby was involved in the creation of both Spider-Man and Iron Man. Yes, Steve Ditko redesigned the character that Kirby created and drew the character's first stories. Don Heck drew the first story appearance of Iron Man because Jack couldn't draw everything. Kirby, interestingly enough, drew the covers for both first appearances of Spider-Man and Iron Man.

This is all well documented with citations on wikipedia.

Joe Simon also had a hand in creating Spider-Man. If you want to go back far enough, there's a pulp character called The Spider that one could argue was partial inspiration for Spider-Man.

"Of course, you could use paper ... but then you take the risk that people will still be able to read 17 years into the future!"

How would non-paper storage of the same data alleviate the need to be read by people?

And don't go replying with "*wooosh*"! I get the joke, but the joke is flawed. If you don't understand the flaw, then *wooosh* back at ya!

We'd never hear the end of it.
