Because apparently if children see vaginas, penises, and female breasts, the whole fabric of British society will collapse.

FTFY.

Male breasts are usually considered OK.

Tweaked a bit more to ward off any overly anal types pointing out that there are no male vaginas or female penises.

Zelda and Mario are still big with the kids.

The only reason I don't a Wii-U for my kids is because through the Wii I found out that optical disks and kids don't mix. Every N64 game we have still works.

I had to return a PSP Lego Star Wars game to Goodwill not too long ago. It would not load because despite the disc being fairly well protected in a plastic shell, some idiotic little ape still managed to scratch it up pretty bad before donating it.

The the hell can someone manage to scratch up a PSP game to the point of being unusable?

Cost definitely had something to do with it, but as one of the few people who used to have a Game Gear when I was in primary school (all my friends had Game Boys), the number one thing that sucked about the GG was the battery life.

The Lynx, although an impressive bit of hardware for its time, also suffered the same problem. However, another factor that helped the monochrome Game Boy win out over the more advanced and colorful Lynx and Game Gear was the fact that the latter 2 really stretched the definition of "portable video game." Compared to the Game Boy, they were huge, too big really to be practical as portables.

"... mass of approximately half that of Earth"

How many moon units would that be?

Around 40. At least if you can assume the mass reported for Earth and the moon given on wikipedia. A simple division says the earth is 81.2797 "moon units".

Okay. Then how many Franks or Dweezils does that translate to? Like, ohmahgawd!
