Yeah... that's pretty much exactly the kind of thought process I would expect from someone who buys this car.

That makes my 2.65GPA even more impressive, right? ... right?

I remember being pissed off when the school wouldn't buy back my fifth edition of a calculus textbook because a new edition came out. What's changed in undergrad-level calculus in, say, 2,000 years? Nothing, that's what. But cover art! That's constantly evolving.

Right. But "Motorola" is simply used as shorthand for "Motorola Mobility," since the vast majority of people probably don't know the difference (and don't care), and those that do would know what the author meant anyway. So the author wasn't wrong necessarily, they just opted to be colloquial rather than technical.

And obviously the author meant Motorola Mobility as well, since he (she?) refers to all of them by their common, single-word monikers, rather than Apple Inc and Google Inc.

Mr. and Mrs. Dotcom had separate residences inside the house? Is that a rich people thing, or just the "people who aren't that into eachother" thing that it would be if you and your wife slept in separate rooms in a non-mansion?

Then those people have problems. If Instagram wasn't around they'd have the same problem, expressed via a different app.

I was leaving work one night and found a security guard standing idly outside one of the elevators with a plastic shim stuck in the doors to keep them open about half an inch. Always curious, I asked the guard what was up. He said the elevator was stuck and he was there to be in communication with the two guys inside,…

I've made a girl for you! She's a digital recreation of a woman. You can carry her around on this thumb drive.

There's that old saying that dating services add 2 inches of height and $20k in salary to a man.

Well, while he's not the first person to confuse the Onion with a real news source, considering his deep interest in Planned Parenthood this article offers plenty of clues that would tip off someone. For instance, PP doesn't call their clinics "abortion clinics," they call them health clinics. So calling a massive…

I used to have an autonomous roaming heater, but then we broke up and she moved to a different city. I miss that little heater. :-(

I like the mental image of 4-feet of headphone cord dangling off your goggles.

I've never heard of sweat pants that wear lawyers! Crazy.

... but in the video they say "missing half of the right wing." So, there you go. One of each.

Spaniard?

Hmm... and yet people who insult the palette of others and tell them what ought to taste better to them always come across as pretentious douchebags. Like the best beer, the best whisky is the whisky you want.

You know who does? South Korea's got Seoul, that's who.
