Why do robots need tails anyway?

or as the Rocket Man himself said:
  It's July but it's cold as Christmas In the middle of the year.

Its shark week

In 1985 I bought a "Fat" Mac for NZ$10K
(The kiwi $ was worth about 44cents US at the time)

New Chicago? That was a planet featured at the beginning of "The Mote in God's Eye" (Niven/Pournelle)

"men [are] from Mars and women from Venusâ"and that each gender is acclimated to its own planet[...]"

and relationship books are from Uranus

If we can see an asteroid with the naked eye it might be time to duck.
Its almost certainly too late to call B ruce Willis

"I typically gain 20 lbs over the winter, then lose it over the summer"

I spose it depends where you live.

" plus rain and crappy weather."

Here it doesn't rain in the winter, its too cold for that.
I'd much rather be outside in the winter time, with a temperature of below 255K than in the summer when its above 300 and 100% humidity

Back when I was in school, parent=teacher meetings were always in the evenings so that both parents could attend. Of course this was long. long ago (early seventies), in a country 8000 miles away

Back at the time of Voyager, Pluto was a planet

Yeah, 40 years ago they thought all (passenger) railways would be maglev with linear induction motors doing over 500Km/hr and replace aircraft for medium distance... This is basically the same sort of technology. Of course we really need room temp superconductors first...

I don't use either Twitter or Facebook so would not be worried if eithere or both of them went down

"have lead to Lenovo ThinkPads that are lighter, much faster, and highly more cable"

I would've thought modern Lenovo's would be highly more WiFi than cable

That name sounds Russian - are we sure this isn't recording stuff for the KGB?

(Of course for national security we wouldn't mind if it was just sending info to the NSA/FBI/CIA)

I guess the name Uber would upset the French, after all they get to hear deutschland über alles everytime the Germans invade...
