Comment Satanists? (Score 5, Insightful) 1251
I have trouble believing they are really Satanists, rather than people claiming to be Satanists.
Oh wait, that's true of most Christians too.

What makes some insect farmers more edible than others?
I thought this meant your Minecraft session occurred in a boat trapped with a tiger.
Or maybe each of the ten weather balloons may or may not have a live six-year-old boy riding in it, and DARPA full well remembers what happened last time with just *one*.

I don't know about you others, but I shave, despite getting my slashdot account almost 12 years ago.
Actually I think damages were 40000d6, for which a final roll of $125000 is slightly below statistical expectation. In order to count the sheer number of dice, a roller rink had to temporarily be rented out as bean counters dumped the entire truckload of all 40K dice.
That's so many six sided dice, WotC has announced plans to buy out Chessex.
In other litigation news, GW is suing WotC for the usage of the term, "40K dice".
Maybe it's the caliber of the government IT workers...
Military Official: Davis, I need you to wipe every hard drive in this container.
Minimum Wage IT Contractor: Okay. [Opens a pack of lemon-scented WetNaps and starts wiping the outside of the hard drives.] Hard drives wiped, sir.
Officer: Then I need you to write "10101010" repeatedly on them, until there's no more space!
MWITC: Okay. [Pulls out Sharpie and draws alternating dashes and circles on the enclosure until there's no more place to put any.] Done, sir.
Officer: Good. Sign off on this ticket, and we're ready to liquidate them on Ebay!

"Umm, Officer, I know what this looks like, but really, I'm trying option number six in today's Slashdot poll..."
Or better yet...
"Hey Paul, are you done with my taxes yet...? Oh god! Do you have to do *that* when you're filing my return?!"
Don't get just one cat. Get more than one. Get several.
You're right - Cat 1 and Cat 2 will probably do nothing. Most people won't even think they exist. Cat 3 will do most of the work, but won't harrass rats beyond 100 meters. Cat 4 needs motivation - give it a small token, like a ring.
Cat 5 can be faster than Cat 3, but like Cat 3, speed and response begin to attenuate after 100 meters. They start dropping packets, which should promptly be buried in the litter box. In the event that rodents bite back, you should consider shielding Cat 5.
Cat 6 is extremely fast with very little latency, but inflexible and difficult to work with. I use them in my fruit pantry, where rats ate "twisted pears"
We like to think if as birth-barfing. The really nasty part is when it gets near the end... Ever drag your own anus down the length of your tongue? It's not pleasant.
