I like to reply-all saying:

Standby for the redundancy applications in 3...2..1.

Some people are offended by this.

You're so right about this - autonomous cars are still decades away. In the next 5-10 years we might get cars that can drive on a freeway on a sunny day, and even then you'll still have to be awake behind the wheel.

The majority of the 1% inherited their wealth and most of that wealth can be traced back to some extremely dodgy deal in the past. Eat the rich.

You're excused. To someone brought up on 'cmd' PS is probably indistinguishable from magic.
Oh, and congrats, Mickeysoft, on finally figuring how to do wrap-around text selection. Welcome to the 20th century.

Contact won't happen until we stop eating sentient animals. Imagine what would happen if a space-faring race that looked like giant prawns turned up ... om nom nom!

Stupid JS Tricks - like popping to the top of the page when returning from a link instead of returning to where you were. Stupid, stupid, stupid. And stupid.
Current site works fine with JS off - keep it that way.

Cave paintings [...] may have been an early form of advertising of your goods and services
