..I heard you like Subway, so why not put a Subway on the subway so you can eat your Subway while you ride the subway?
Incidently, reading this post, the word Subway has lost all meaning to me..

In the UK a well known clothing store tried to charge more for larger cup sizes.. Which to a point makes sense, more fabric, more cost.. except that the cost of production has almost nothing to do with the cost of sale.. you're paying for fancy shops, head offices and analysts who read slashdot in their lunchbreak.. :)

Comment NASA already did.. (Score 1) 820
Well, it all started in 1962... Utilizing advances in modern food synthesis, scientists at NASA began work on a germ hostile space meat to be used into long expeditions in deep space! Only recently has their hard work paid off. As even more advances in the field of space meat have been made and applied to what is now known as operation meat. Seeing this as a way to end their streak of being sued by angry costumers poisoned by their burgers, the Mac Meaties corporation decided to try this miraculous space meat. Not having access to that technology, we make ours out of napkins.

That Nagging Netflix Queue 161
Instead of being used and returned at the pace of cloth diapers, it seems DVDs rented from Netflix are often gathering dust, unwatched, in customers' homes, in what a posting yesterday dubs a "paradox of abundance." Readers suggested some reasons why this was so, and why this might not be a bad thing, in the comments attached to the story; read on for the Backslash summary of the discussion.
