Well, that, of course, would still not have been enough to drop planes out of the sky and explode the nuclear power grid - it might cause some problems in accounting, though...christian culture just can't be happy without its doomsdays, how could it, being founded around apocalyptic beliefs...

So they try to combine one part science and one part fiction into...what? A hypothesis that takes a metaphor and makes pure insanity? Bloody literal thinkers.

Domains have been around since 1985...that's not necessarily a URL. The "www" shouldn't have been there before around 1990 though.

For a good house you need masonry, not nails...then again, not sure if Stormtroopers are qualified for that...

I guess it's the red pill

Well, you need sunglasses, of course. Ideally the model that selectively reflects only your right arm in the right lens and the left arm in the left lens...

I totally know what you mean...

I think D&D players usually take the alignment to be too important...in other words, any sane character isn't on the chart (at least if you interpret true neutral as devotion to preservation of balance).

Well, I admit to being slightly spooked by the severe lack of any obvious attempt at satire in the reply by Frank Boyd...still, I guess no self respecting real crackpot would say it quite the way Robbiecda did.

And I would argue that satire is supposed to be ridiculous

Gold is hardly as abundant as iron...but mostly it is much harder to mine for,

Wow, that's...so utterly ridiculous

Well, in 2100 the 2012 advertisements may, too, be retro futuristic. If the services now promised may then be provided.

Some modern TV sets don't actually switch to dead channels - they just tell you there's nothing there and stay right where they are.

It would seem we still lose to the zebra and tiger.

Same principle as the East Frisian rocket:

Well, silver ions are still a good deal different from (metallic) silver.

Well, it's a big difference whether you say "Silver is anti microbial" or "Some silver salt with a huge organic compound is antibacterial"...the latter is true, the former is about as good as praying the rosary... OK, I shouldn't write it like this, some religious people might claim the rosary helps beyond placebo…

Hardly a parody...more like an homage. Pretty cool, though - I love both this and Dumb Ways to Die.

The horses...they are nothing without size. Ducks are fucking crazy!
