Of all places for this to be implemented, it has to be McDonalds.
That choice can be explained in one word: Hamburgler.

It is my understanding that after flying on a starship, you do not exactly die, but have options to become a a single drop of rain or maybe a highwayman.
So here's this lawyer burning up, rubbing his head and shifting every which way, watching his newspaper melting, and saying that he "couldn't imagine what it could be." How about the huge building that looks like the eye of freakin' Sauron? Oh wait:
"At the bar, he explained..."
Indeed, lol.
Edie Brickell and the New Bohemians' "Good Times": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ8jjUt_H5U
It's a nice tune, and Edie Brickell looked great.
And so my adverb was chosen, but I'm sure they've fixed a few. (While selling a few motherboards in the process, of course).
I think it does poke fun at the original. Geek squad goes around ostensibly fixing computers, but they can't fix a soul. It's not much, but as you said, I don't think you need a lot of parodic content if if it's not for commercial purposes.
I agree. Judging from the "superflip" video, it also looks like they count rotating a center layer as one move, even though the video does it in two. They do it twice, so it takes 22 motions to solve in the video.
The Virtual Tour background image is a flag with three stars in the blue, and what looks like morse in six stripes. Hmm.

Sorry, I don't know how to get around the "junk charachter" filter with regular morse symbols.
Yeah, I find that interesting. People take Bible passages out of context to try and support their beliefs all the time; athiests and preachers alike. In this case, the athiest says ZOMG!! I KNO MATHS THE BIBBLE SUXOR LOLOLOLZ!!
If you do 30/pi and round to the unit, it's fine. If you read a little further the thickness is given and could account for the missing circumference quite well. If you're a numerologist, the passage is 1 Kings 7:23 and (23-1)/7 ~ 3.14. Or if you're a 2700-year old brass-casting jew, maybe it just makes sense.
Or maybe the author was just trying to say it was a big frickin' bowl and not trying to give a math lesson.
Yeah, and on a slower system it's unwatchable. Youtube and netflix run smoothly on my old Celeron, but I have to quickly set quality to "low" before the hulu video loads to be able to watch it. And then, it STILL isn't smooth.
