Every time I see a character leave a tap running movies I just cringe. It’s just wrong. So what if there could be someone in your house, flick the tap off before you go and investigate.

Unfortunately he became a bit crazy about Vitamin C. I kinda blame him (probably unfairly) for the whole vitamin supplement market.

I don’t know an example of the top of my head but stereotypical attitudes about virility and impotence make me inclined to believe that such a character would probably have self-esteem issues...

This would be a pretty good call if biology didn’t use any electricity to accomplish that.

THIS thread. This thread right here is why the internet.

I approve this correction, but will leave my post unedited for posterity.

That’s probably why they have a machine do it.

That we know of! Dun dun dun. But seriously though, causality is a bitch.

See this is what I thought, but I'm never certain as people are always talking about quantum systems as if they're interesting, when we all know it's new fundamental particles that are actually interesting.

There are still people not reading it?

Supporting evidence:

I came down here to say exactly the same thing about Sydney and Melbourne.

But 1140 x more frames per second is fine? Really the important quantity here is that the speed at which the camera can record, which is increasing.

I have just gone through and liked every comment mentioning Australia. No offence to you North Americans, I'm sure you've got very flammable trees, but if you're going to write a headline like that you've got to bring your A game.

I got to this comment thread disappointed. I left satisfied.

While in no way defending what Greenpeace have done here, I think it's a little bit over the top to call it harming the environment. "Defacing an irreplaceable piece of Peruvian history" sure, but the environment doesn't really care how those rocks are arranged.

It wouldn't be an Australian Christmas without a barbeque (which chrome is telling me is spelt with a 'c', but that's clearly wrong). Also, it wouldn't be an *ideal* Australian Christmas without Pavlova:

I haven't made up my mind about Stephenson or Heinlein, but that's pretty much exactly how I felt about Catcher in the Rye expressed more pithily than I ever could.

I hate to be "that guy", but there is a second figure...
