I remember back in the day AltaVista was the only search engine which allowed you to use + and - to fine-tune the results. Before Google's pagerank that was the best you could hope for.

And here's what matters to you: that radiation you expose yourself to by being made of carbon has no measurable affect on your lifespan, or anyone else's.

We'd all live to be 200 years old if not for that nefarious C-14!

I hear the problem with the research is that the rats gain intelligence and escape the laboratory at NIMH. It's a secret, so you may not have heard about it.

Unless you have kids. In that case take the extended warranty -- you are the outside of their distribution.

On the FIRST DAY of having our iPad I walk in on my toddler standing on top of it. WTF WOULD POSSESS HIM TO DO THAT? I enjoyed all of 2 hours of clear screen. Now GMail looks like a haunted house.

He also found that the crystals were cubes.

Oh, and beer. Damn preview and I still forgot to mention the great beer!

I'm surprised no one mentioned Alamo Drafthouse. They serve good food, and the adverts, if there are any, are fun cheesy ones from the 70s that relate to the movie you're going to see. They have special events, and a strict no texting/talking policy. If you want to kill a half-hour, watch their PSAs about it. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U6o08BOR2Q

Republic of Korea = South Korea
Democratic People's Republic of Korea = North Korea

Again supporting the rule of thumb that if a country has "Democratic" in the name it's not.

The Walking Dead is another one. Killing zombies is subservient to the characters and story, and the comic book art suits it well.

You don't need reams of paper. Just do about 50 pages, and repeatedly flip through those 50.

So basically he's reguritating a plot point from Black Ops 2? Except with high falutin' language?

So if an eagle catches fish, and the catfish catches birds to eat, who wins?

Are you licensed by the state? Does your profession have a code of conduct? Are there standardized tests for entering the profession? Is there an accepted body of knowledge?

Sadly, the answer is no to all of these. The person who cuts your hair has more certification than the person who writes pacemaker software.

So the gold vault at thee New York Federal Reserve is underground. When I was there piles of gold had little pieces of paper on top saying who owned them. I wonder what would happen if a bunch of water rushed down there... Hopefully the massive door is waterproof.

Everyone knows the time crystals have a 4-sided shape.
