You know what's really annoying? Going to the gym immediately after January 1st. It's disturbing how many losers sit around between christmas and new years going, "Yeah, this year I'm finally going to get in shape. Maybe I'll get a gym membership. I've never tried to before, I could right now but I won't -- I'm gonna do it in the new year. Make a new me!"

then for 3 months or so you can't even get on equipment because it's covered in sheeple livin' the dream, and then, like clockwork - they all quit.

losers.

I had my left phrenic nerve removed along with a large, gross tumour.

This story is ridiculous. All life has evolved as a result of 'pressure' from the environment surrounding it. It's not a conscious decision on the part of the plant, it's a permanent adaptation. It's not going to just say, "Oh ok, now I don't need to do this anymore".

If we were able to obliterate all insect life on earth, would we be studying the Venus Fly Trap and the Pitcher Plant and saying, "Oh wow! These plants are still trying to capture insects we obliterated years ago!". I feel stupider having read that article.

This is kind of cute, but not really...

The person shows the elaborate process they go through to get the key pressed. I mean, if you were a paraplegic typing with a pencil stuck up your nose - you're still hitting the key. Or is the pen hitting the key? What if you white out just the key you need to hit so you can claim you knowingly hit it, but it wasn't marked.

I mean, cummon. This isn't worthy of slashdot. This is really lame.

"would make the US second-rate in education and basic research."

-- Wait a minute, somehow the U.S. is going to improve as a result of this beating out the 5 or 6 other countries that kick the 5#17 out of them for education and basic research? Awesome!
