Agreed.

Normally I would agree with you. However, being that she was in two X-men movies you should probably turn in your geek card.

I didn't know anyone was praying to systemd.And would guess anyone who is, will not care. The hairless monkeys praying to the nuclear warhead would probably be more interested.

Because of osmotic pressure, freshwater fish are hypertonic and absorb water continually. Their kidneys work pretty hard to keep the correct electrolyte balance.

Emphasis mine.

It would be interesting to see what the divorce rate of Hindus is after living in the US after 5, 10, 20 years. And what the differences are when one or both of the couple's parents live with them or close by vs. their families remaining a large distance away.

I'm sure the divorce rate would be much lower the average American marriage. But I would guess without the pressures of culture and family, it would go up.

No, but using an abacus does.

Only the really short ones. They incessantly sing annoying songs and never get eaten by cats or incompetent wizards.

Esso was around in the North East until '72-'73. My father worked at one on the PA turnpike during the summers when he was in college in the early 1960's. When Standard Oil was broken up in the early 1900's many of the companies had rights to the Esso name within their own state. Some didn't object to others using the name within their state as well.

I think the southern states had to re-brand in the mid to late 1960's to Enco

I remember the Mobil Pegasus well. I think it was pretty cool at any age. But that was the 1970's for you. We thought airbrushing naked women riding dragons on cars, and especially vans, was cool then too.

The Exxon tiger was around back then also.

We had Esso in the US as well. Though I doubt most people on /. are old enough to remember them.

Marijuana must be much more potent than I thought. Clinton didn't inhale and look what happened.

There are some talking birds that I'm convinced they have at least some idea of what they are saying. Many, if not most simply make noises that the human they are bonded to get excited/happy about.

I was with a friend at a drive through once and the last thing she ordered was french fires. The cashier didn't hear her and asked what the last thing she ordered was. Before she could open her mouth her pet cockatoo yelled "FRIES, FUCKER!" Of course when we drove up to the window he wouldn't say a word.

Another friend of mine had a blue-fronted amazon parrot. He loved doughnuts. Anytime anyone came into the house with a doughnut, or a bag or box from Dunkin Donuts he would immediately ask "What's that?" in a coy kind of voice. if that didn't work he demanded you "Come over here!" If that failed his last effort was "I love you." His name was Quasi(moto) He would also stand in front of a mirror and say "You're a pretty bird Quasi"

Considering on the Planet Earth series, or something similar, they filmed a pod of orcas spending hours wearing out a larger whale, of some other species, and her calf until they were able to kill and eat the calf. I'd guess they might if the opportunity presented itself.

For gods sake, this is /. You forgot: 5. Profit!!
