The Star Beast! Kids love Lummox. :)

.. or we could follow the whale's lead and dump all our shit in the Challenger Deep and/or elsewhere deep. I wonder how long it would take us to fill it? ;)

Military? Forget that, you should note that the soldier concerned is in the bloody artillery!

Perhaps "arrest" means something else in the IDF. ;)

That's Muphry's law for you.

on the other hand, this may be another victory in the war on tourism.

I'm struggling, but don't worry when i get it, it'll be electric

Kindle sure sold a lot of models really fast... I don't think we can call ebook readers dead this early in the game.

Did the atmosphere rape and murder a girl in 1990? There are witnesses to the fact that the atmosphere was at the location of multiple rapes and murders in 1990. While the rapes and murders were happening!! At the very least the atmosphere should be charged as an accomplice, as crime scene investigators have conclusively demonstrated that the alleged rapists and murderers in the majority of the cases would have been unable to perform the heinous deed if the atmosphere.had not been present.

Who is going to take responsibility for answering our questions? The atmosphere has remained eerily quiet in the face of such bold questions! We must demand answers!

Those Lego Mindstorms NXT's are totally awesome! I spent some time googling them and am blown away at what can be done with them.

I think that my kids might be ready for them but will probably take the approach of getting them for myself and "letting" them play with it. If their interest grows then we can expand it.

It seems quite good here and I frequently have to defend slashdot on other sites, purely because of the Microsoft hate here (which in my opinion has significantly weakened over the last 10 years)
I will say one thing about the comments here and that's that a contrary position is not shunned completely and mod'd down, Digg comments are absolutely and utterly horrible, to be blunt they are effectively a clusterfuck of circle jerk madness - if you're not part of 'them' you're the enemy and be prepared to be mod'd down - heavily, gave up 3 times with Digg and the last time was the final time, not interested (and don't even use the site anymore)

To make my point though, I could have said how terrible slashdots comments and users are, contrary to your claim but as long as I wrote it out fairly well, I'd still be moderated relatively well

I don't understand why 32 stories is worth noting.

Used to be the same way for me, then I found myself not being online much over the summer. Haven't gotten em since!

Ah yes, the Call of Cthbooblu.

Beware there might be a lawsuit from Milton Bradley..having the HMOs using virtual money to lobby is rather like having the advantage of some really well healed (pardon the pun) lobbyists just playing a game that we all have to pay for!

How is that in any way less strange?!
