If you intend the next time you land to be the last, it's not really a problem.

That's a wonderful pic, Stark. Better resolution next time and close up of the skirt.

I say give up. Every year many, many news sources have to give several reports about the benefits/evils of chocolate, beer, or wine. It's slow news day fodder. (No offense to io9.)

It would be even better if your parents DIDN'T know about it. That's the kind of playroom I always wanted.

Dude. I'm totally going to shave my cat and see if I can transfer my newspaper comics onto it.

You're ruling out the fact that every cat is possessed by a demon.

Someone went and cast Ultima.

As for the rail-cars, I like the idea, but (these aren't deal breakers, just pointing them out) as you go you're going to have to stop and carry your bike around several-mile-long stopped trains, and you can't be sure the junctions will be set in the direction you want. Also some of the the lower rail bridges may…

I could not agree more.

Wait... you're using a BBC MAP to cover alcohol usage in America? WHY????? I can't think of any American maps covering alcohol usage in the UK.

And don't forget how hard it is to secure a six-pack in PA. You have to buy by the case, unless you're comfortable in bars.

Pennsylvania, too. You have to buy liquor from a state store, and beer from a beer distributor - by the CASE, no six packs (how the hell that's supposed to curb drunkenness is beyond me). You have to go into a bar to get a six pack, and all they keep is piss-water like budweiser.

I'm detecting a bit of myopia. I'm guessing some of the younger nerds aren't as familiar with the older works.

I couldn't get into the new book.

The "UFOs are real" ship has sailed already with me. (naval metaphor in this post! ha!) Solid evidence please, or I'm not interested. I refuse to believe that the government that can't even get my tax return right can keep a secret of that magnitude.

I'm glad people still remember that movie. I've been using the handle "Varkman" in online games for years - since playing Starcraft on [battle.net] not long after Darkman came out. My favorite animal is the aardvark.

Well, the CDC already has guidelines for the zombie apocalypse, so I guess it stands to reason.

First hint I got was when I gave each of my kids a dollar to pick out a candy bar.. only to discover the candy bars were all over $1.10.
