Since it looks like the other comments haven't covered this and I can't stand for you to not understand this... "I reverse entropy every time I turn on my air conditioner." No, you don't. You are creating more heat outside your house than you are sucking out of the air inside your house. You are not magically making the universe colder by using an AC unit.

You do know what "discarded circumcisions" means, right?

Close. Most coal came from the Carboniferous period where there was an explosion of plants, many of them in boggy areas. When plants die in bogs they fall in the water and bacteria can NOT decompose them. This is why the carbon was sequestered and turned into coal.
Today, there is very little chance of this happening, especially at a plant in Japan. In all likelihood these flowers will decompose when they die and release all their nitrogen oxides back to the environment.

Same with me. I grew up in backwater Alaska and have never met an important person in my life, and I'm currently at Cornell for engineering.

Really? You think anyone can simply skate through college with A's and B's just by turning in papers and showing up to tests? For some of us that aren't gifted with an IQ of 140, it actually takes some work to learn linear algebra or basic electrical engineering principles, for instance. I attend a private university in the States and it's a metric fuck ton of work, in my opinion. I work hard for my B's.

What a hideous colour khaki is! I'd hate to be a Delta.

WHAT THE HELL IS A GIGAWATT?

OK this is a really dumb question, but what's with the "This?" I've been seeing it a lot lately and just don't get it. I'm not trying to be a jackass or anything here, I really don't understand.

I asked my sister's dog, "Hi Dolly, wheeeeere's Geordi? Wheeere's Geordi!!?" Dolly lead me out the door, inside the garage, and to the kennel where Geordi was. It was just incredibly interesting to me that she seemed to have a concept of "where" and "the other dog."

You know what's disgusting? You meant "monkey sex" as a joke, but recently a new strain of HIV that's "closely related to one found in gorillas" was found in a woman in Cameroon. What do you think the chances are that someone was desperate enough to pork a gorilla, then this woman?

There's a command you have to run from the command line when you want to file a bug report. Annoying, yes, hard to find, yes, but the functionality is there. If you can actually find the command (I couldn't in a 5 minute googling) it actually is a pretty easy system they have set up.

..is when they can "fix" the abnormality. Who will be the one to decide whether or not one needs to be Fixed?

FTFA:
"The lawsuit filed against Turnitin's parent company, iParadigms LLC, seeks $150,000 for each of six papers written by the students....'This case is not about money, and we don't expect to get that.'"
Not about the money? ORLY? Do you honestly think these high school kids give two s**ts about their little papers?
