You know me well enough to know I've literally never spent more than 5 minutes looking into it? Really? I've watched the "Loose Change" bullshit. I've spent hours reading on the Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth website. I've read a number of peer reviewed papers on the subject. My ex father in law is also a…

No. I'd rather accept the truth when it is incredibly obvious and not waste my time on conspiracy theories.

We'll go ahead and pit that against the number of scientists and engineers that fully endorse and have provided support for what actually happened. What is that, 200,000? More? Yeah. As with climate science and the theory of evolution by natural selection, I'll accept what the incredible majority of scientists have to…

I will never understand how anyone could think it is a good idea to tear this down. It is simply amazing.

That's the first thing that came to my mind. It's a pretty big business risk ignoring hacks though. I can't imagine that there won't be pretty big repercussions for a few people. And the possibility that someone didn't do something over paying out $500? I hope it was worth it.

I would only approve of this if his regular shadow had a shadow that was also Darth Vader, and if the Darth Vader shadow had a shadow of him. Circle of life. Or something.

Is there a difference anymore between writing a headline to get clicks and lying? If you include a link, we assume you've read the content you are linking to. If you've read the content, you know the president literally had nothing to do with this decision. This headline is misleading at the very best. At the worst,…

I missed the part where he was from Greece, because it's not on this page, but I didn't miss the part where he was called an "American engineer."

Well shit, as long as they were following the local custom, I guess it was alright! Being American has everything to do with this. I knew that they were Americans when I read the headline. If you've ever ready anything anyone from another country has said about American tourists, you'd know why.

I'm not a vegetarian, and I have two responses for you (one of them is posted in response to another comment, but it works here as well).

Yes. I've been fishing many times. They were not fishing. They were snorkeling, which is ostensibly an activity one does when one wants to appreciate nature. If they were fishing and they killed something they pulled out of the ocean, I feel like this would be a totally different story. They were just sightseeing and…

The fact that their first reaction is to kill something they pulled out of the sea is enough to make me furious. America: Sharing its stupidest inhabitants with the rest of the world since 1776!

I felt the same way about Battleship, but I was really, really, really high when I saw that movie. I imagine that, were I a 13 year old boy, it would have been my favorite movie ever. Especially the part where a bunch of old men, who are for no fucking reason whatsoever hanging out on the U.S.S. Missouri or whatever…

I liked it too. Shhhhhhh....don't tell io9!

I couldn't agree with you more on all points, but the most intensely frustrating thing for me is that people have complained about Superman killing Zod at the end of that movie. Zod essentially tells Superman, "You're going to have to kill me because I will never stop trying to destroy Earth." And as you point out,…

This pit actually locates his keys in the morning on the way to work. Stinkbugs! Always losing their keys!

"Could you do what you did? Of course you could. But I never thought you would or could do that to me."

Even if you've only barely covered the process, I get what you are saying. Thanks so much!

Can someone explain why these storms occur more on each side of the equator, rather than on the equator? My completely unscientific assumption would be that the equator would be where most of the activity would be located because...I don't know, spin or something. Does this have to do with magnetic fields being…

I agree. This one was complete bullshit. They needed to kill someone, and Ted got the short end. Sadness for the Blue Beetle.
