Come on, at least give 'em partial credit for getting "it's" right.

That hat makes you look like an idiot.

The TSA didn't catch the shoe bomber or the underwear bomber, for that matter. Both were screened abroad.

You're driving your car. Here are your five threat levels:

1) "Sha-na-na-na, sha-na-na-na-na-na, ..." (Cruising for burgers)
2) "What an idiot!" (Where'd that bozo get a license?!)
3) "WTF?" (Damn! Where'd that car come from?)
4) "Oh, shit!" (Mother of God, please make the airbags work!)
5) Wham! (preemptive strike without warning)

Sort of gives a new meaning to the phrase "crash and burn".

Damn! If this was the Spinal Tap edition of /. I'd be able to give you another mod point.

Looks can be deceiving. The beast guarding the Cave of Kyle Banor in The Holy Grail was furry and cute, too.

That thing looks unnervingly like the rolling trash can in my garage.

Sure you can, but how much are you willing to spend to get your part, which is, let's see, 138M tax payers, 10K books, leaves you with 1/13,800th of a book. With any luck, it'll be an entire word.

Doesn't work for me. I live in a rural area and when you go to town during the summer you have to remember to lock your car. Otherwise, you'll come back in half an hour and it'll be full of zucchini.

If only all NASA missions were this successful
If they were all successful, it would mean we weren't pushing the envelope, weren't making mistakes and weren't learning from them.

You're describing what one should do if the brakes fail, not if the engine is at max throttle.
If the throttle is stuck and you have a manual transmission (which you imply), you should put it in neutral and use the brakes to stop. By definition, engine braking doesn't happen if the throttle is wide open.

A VT-100 should be plenty for anyone.
