Comment Re:I'll never give up incandescents. EVER. (Score 1) 328

I'm glad your ceiling is nice and toasty. The people are usually located on the floor, though.

Which is why nobody was arrested

Only that people are free to SAY (or even publish) just about anything, including this drivel, as a matter of law.


Yes, they are allowed to say whatever they want. And this univiersity has the right to tell them it's unacceptable and revoke their frat priveleges.

Exactly! Any day now they could make a mouse as smart as the pig I ate for breakfast!
