My Shorin-Ryu sensei taught us to carry three sai. You used your first one to impale your opponents foot into the ground.

So, the Hitmonlee entry says that they are 4'11", right? So is that with or without those spring legs completely unwound? (we both know it's supposed to be with them fully coiled), As this artist's version of Hitmonlee doesn't have spring legs, and the method applied is a more "gritty, realistic" vision, I can see…

I'm guessing that it's a Magikarp with a really good hologram transmitter.

This sentence makes the writer inside of me want to stab himself with a spoon.

1. Already anticipating the hate spam, so whatever.

Magic item descriptions were never in PH's if I recall.

And the worst case run time for a scan of a human body? I mean, what kind of container are you going to store that in? An ArrayList? A tree of some sort? I mean, depending on the type of tree, the retrieval time would be almost constant time, but the building of the container...

During our first baby shower, we were given a diaper "cake", which was made up of a couple of boxes of N and 1 sized diapers, along with decorations of baby rattles/toys, bottles of baby wash, et. al. Believe me, with the cost of disposable diapers, and the number you go through, getting a gift like this is more than…

These are all super creepy, especially the phone booth one. I keep expecting her to explode or look up with some eerie grin, and instead she just keeps spinning...taunting me....

I think the book comment was sort of hyperbole, because when e-readers came out, people were pish poshing on them because what could they do that a nice book couldn't. But yeah, I own three tablets of varying make/size and I'm just curious to see if this product will live up to what it could be.

Depends on where you are and the laptop, I suppose. I know that I commute and carpool a lot, and on the some of those days where I don't drive and traffic on the beltway is hell, having a device that I could repel the warmongering Netherland Menace from my Roman Utopia would be a welcome distraction. And yeah,…

Personally, I'm thinking of playing Sins of a Solar Empire on this. Any 4x game really. I'm really hoping this lives up to what I hope it will be.

I call bullshit on that weight measurement.

The Japanese, if I recall my Eastern Studies class correctly, bought wholesale into the Deming style of business management, which is based almost entirely on statistical improvement. I'm sure there's a wiki on it, but in short, it can be summed up as set a goal for quality, meet it, set a new goal, meet it...

Okay, okay. Apologies for the term confusion. I get the same way when someone calls a data structure a container. Which, interestingly, is almost the same parallel.

Clip.

I'm aware of the physics behind the statement I made. I was alluding to the fact that the original poster didn't think about the physics behind his statement, i.e., drawing a simple force diagram would have solved it.

If I'm ever in a home defense situation where I really need the weapon and the lock fails, I'll just take my wrecker bar from beside the bed and break the glass front of my gun cabinet. :P

Lolwut? Speaking as someone who's taken a double tap to the vest and had the cracked ribs that goes along with it, I can tell you that it will knock you on your ass. Okay, I take that back. It definitely knocked me on my ass and had me seeing stars for about three seconds. It actually felt like my best friend Jack…

As one other person said, it was probably around $90 cash trade-in, but I remember the trade-in for merch being higher. I also didn't realize the game release was '98...good lord, I feel old.
