agreed! Trying to say that an alien intelligence has motivations even remotely similar to our own seems to be a failure in thinking. All we can do up until aliens actually make themselves known in the most blatant manner possible is speculate as to their intentions. Thinking they're here to destroy us is paranoia…

I'm in the camp of "we're not worth the hassle of destroying." There's 145 moons, 8 planets and a mess of other small objects in our solar system alone. What resource on our planet could possibly only be found here? Aside from organic life? I feel fairly certain that if a civilization has mastered inter stellar travel…

You would think in desperate times, landlords in general would be more willing to cut a deal to let people move in. Having someone there paying rent and operating a business sure beats the pants off of no one there to pay rent

there's surprisingly little smoke kicked up. wierd

Eve... Apple's original.... wait. I shouldn't finish this. The fundies may get upset.

Didn't Plato say at the start of his account something along the lines of "this is a thought experiment"? It seems to be something that's conveniently left out when everyone talks about Atlantis.

Having driven the base model Impreza late last year, I can say that i will only consider the WRX variants. It may get decent mileage and is apparently a "top safety pick," and that's good and all. But, when the car feels like you're driving an underpowered and overweight brick, I just don't see the point.

So what would I have to do to put in a salvage claim on all these poor helpless cars?

A tube through the nose? wouldn't it be more efficient just to make a suppository?

at this point... who do they think they're fooling with that swirly crap?

Do plastic surgeons count as body shops?

"backwater region of the Milky Way"

To be fair.... a vinyl equivalent would cost hundreds of dollars and be just as tacky. If I was in the mood to do something like that for shits-and-giggles, I'd probably go the cheep route too. Though I wouldn't do it on a remotely new car in somewhat good condition. It would be more for a lemon's racer I think. I had…

The number of people I narrowly avoid that plow through red lights with their face staring at a cell phone put me firmly in the "dangerous epidemic" camp

Screw the earth. I need downforce!

NO, I WON'T TAKE YOU TO THE FAIR!

I SAID "YOU'RE OVERCOMPENSATING FOR YOUR LACK OF... HAIR!"

You can't see what's in front of you either.

Technically it's not a one-off since several were built.

Along with my comrades here, I also despise this abstract interpretive pretension. While the images are pretty, abstract art like this makes no sense to me. It's gotten to the point where I avoid the whole "modern art" section at art museums because I feel like I'll destroy something if I see one more collage built…
