The first time I read this I thought 'Now my brother can finally get a job and get off WoW servers' ... then I re-read it and noticed they said the guy was taiwanese.

I just completed a class, and it was my first experience in a completely PowerPoint based lecture scenario. Sure, he jotted occasional notes on the board, but in about 50 hours of lecture I managed to only take about 15 pages of notes (including labnotes). I see the use of PowerPoint as a pro since it gives profs the option of making them available to students, so if you're sick or miss a day then you're not scrambling to borrow notes from someone else. But I actually think it's more of a con since my prof didn't really adhere to his slides, and by week 3 we were already 2 weeks behind. The end result was him giving us the slides and telling us to read them on our own. Gee, I could have stayed home and done that myself. So while it makes it easier for students to stay caught up, it just seems to make the profs less likely to stick to their material. Or, less likely to put as much effort into teaching it. I'd rather handwrite notes off a chalkboard any day.

I can think of at least 10 guy friends of mine that are going to cream themselves when they hear about this .. if they haven't already bought them and suffered from a joy overload.

True, at least antibiotics can kill off most bacteria. Children continue to survive. Mmmm, radioactive bacteria. At least next time I eat contaminated beef my skin should have a nice healthy glow.

I think you're ignoring the issue that most girls don't -want- to look at pictures of androgynous looking girls. I personally would rather see models wearing clothes that are of average size, or hell even slightly below that since the average woman is now what, a 14? Which is considered overweight, and is ridiculously so. I think a major problem is that the fashion industry designs for smaller sizes. Numerous times I'll see a shirt in a magazine, fall in love with it and only moments later notice the fine print indicating it's only available from size 0 through 4. Thus magazines pretty much have to work with models that will fit in those clothes. I find that female designers seem to be a little more consciencious about sizing and because of that have a wider range of sizes. Male designers are more suspect to making women have disgustingly waif-like body shapes. So while the magazines don't help the situation, I don't think it's directly their fault.

Wouldn't using sound effects from 'The Jetsons' better simulate "a 'beautiful and futuristic' noise similar to the sound of flying cars"?

Mmmm elephant garlic. It's free radiaton, and radiation (like butter) makes everything taste better. He should shut his mouth.

So umm, are they essentially saying that happiness is like an STD?

A++ As an actual girl, I feel this overwhelming need to now put on pretty heels and dust off the china while performing fellatio and wishing I was a cheetah.
