Where can I buy these "like points"? Or do I have to grow and harvest a certain amount of corn?

...2026.

Normally we Trekkies would not be so creepy as to pair off Klingons and Furries. But to each his own.

I can't find the torrent for Corvettes - anyone have a link?

Quite. I've yet to see a termite or spider trolling vitriolically on /.

And the RIAA blames us for piracy! Aliens are clearly the only people who'd want some of the stuff they complain is being downloaded.

Skynet was too busy playing online poker with V'ger.

More power to them. If they can make a living off what they enjoy, and through it give enjoyment to a lot of other people, I'd say they're doing better than most of us. What's the point in demanding people entertain us for free, out of their spare time and the goodness of their hearts? (Plus webcomics like that tend to have really erratic update schedules.)

I wonder what would happen if we discovered a race that seemed animal to us, were tasty and edible by humans, could adapted to live anywhere on Earth, and be imported to end world hunger? Then we discover they're actually sentient... so, what do we do?

What the - my car battery is dead for the third time this week?? Man, I gotta change my MiFi password again. I guess "cowboynealzcar" just won't do it.

No, you'd need a Beowulf cluster of lemons for that kind of power.

Not bad actually. Your eventual choices are:
a) go mad and get eaten
b) run away and spend the rest of your life haunted by what your saw
Pretty Lovecraftian. But I will never look at Hulu the same way again.

Not surprising, really. They take the brains of anyone who finds out too much about them and put them in cases for transport to other worlds for study while the ones on earth use the bodies to blend in with humanity. If you're going looking for info, I'd invest in some big, mean dogs. They don't like dogs.

That was freaking brilliant. Hats off to Keith Martin!

Ditto for Commander Keen! That game was so wacky and yet so much fun - I have a fondness for 2D side-scrollers to this day.
