Comment Re:Why Not Build Something New And Useful Instead? (Score 1) 289

Why not invest the money in Tesla, bullet trains, solar/wind generated electricity, vaccines for 3rd world children, developing a compressed air battery car further, etc?

It wouldn't surprise me to hear about Titanic being sabotaged by the Cunard Line because it secretly ran and navigated with Tesla technology. On certain talk radio shows.

"As close to the original as possible" with "state of the art 21st Century technology..." hmm.

I visualize the current crop of baseball stadiums like Camden Yards and Petco Park, retro but with all the bells and whistles.
Although for the full-on, authentic retro experience, across the street from the stadium there should be a dry cleaners, a barbershop and a tavern with sawdust on the floor, instead of a Starbucks, a Verizon store and vegan/gluten-free FUCKING WINE BAR!

Comment Re:Need more virgins (Score 1) 114

Nah, we're quite safe. We all know that only female virgins are sacrificed.

As it turns out, not even a female virgin sacrifice is quite as effective as the right kind of adult:

A man who would come here of his own free will.
A man who has come here with the power of a king by representing the law.
A man who would come here as a virgin.
A man who has come here as a fool.

Well fellow Slashdotters, two or three out of four ain't bad!

There are plenty of mathematically literate people who realize that lotteries are for fun, not investing.

My gambling fun of choice is in a Vegas non-hotel casino like O'Sheas, drinking complimentary Bloody Marys while playing in their 1 dollar blackjack tables, fifty buck can go a long, long way there. As a bonus, instead of having an elevator version of Burt Bacharach in the background (as in the hotel casinos), O'Sheas plays Bowie, the Stones, Van Morrison, etc.
