If I'm not mistaken, that letter opener can be turned around and serve double duty as a backscratcher.

Sometimes 'treatment' is a euphemism for 'locking the person away where they can't hurt anyone else'. So, yes, all forms of mental illness respond to 'treatment'.

Having read none of the Avengers comic books, my favorite character in the animated Avengers:EMH was the Wasp. She was the perfect foil for so many characters — happy when others were brooding, excited and adventurous when others were focused. She was a great character in that series. I hope Whedon finds a way to…

The map is weighted by number of people who use twitter in the country. I guess there are very few twitter users in Saudi Arabia, and the ones who are there happen to be Catholic.

I'm surprised the article didn't mention why advertisers like QR codes so much. They're not just links to somewhere on the net, they're links that can carry referrer information.

Congratulations. Comixology has finally caught up to comics on the web. Comicpress and other plugins have been able to do this for a long time.

I agree — guns are completely a masculine thing.

'Free speech' means freedom from government censorship. There's never been any prohibition against unwanted speech being drowned out by a louder mob.

Sigh. I posted the exact same information (including the favorite song) at apparently the same time, without seeing your post. Sorry about that. I'm going to go ahead and blame Kinja.

One other Christmas carol? Wrong. The H.P. Lovecraft Historical society has put out at least two albums worth of holiday carols. http://www.cthulhulives.org/solstice/

Wait, wait, wait. 2007 — Superman & Batman vs. Aliens & Predator? Why was I never told that such an awesome comic existed?

On Usenet and some BBCode forums. Don't have them here, do we? Nor on Facebook, G+, Disqus or any media site that I know. The more monetized the discussion forum, the less people will be encouraged to link outside of it.

Meh. In the 90's, none of that would have looked too far out of place.

What the author was saying is that links are now treated like money. Gizmodo allows you to post links like that, but not every site does because they don't necessarily want to help fund other sites. If you have any financial interested in quickmeme.com, you're an example of the problem.

After reading about this awful mess, I think I'd prefer Fan Fiction Fridays. ;)

Not weird at all. I'm not a car nut, but I look at this thing and I'm eight years old again. Oh, my squee.

Count me in the camp that says the original FF are unfilmable — not for any technical reason related to their powers, but because their personalities were campy, four-color, two-dimensional caricatures.

I guess the thinking must've been, If we're going down, the whole WORLD's going down!

So at this point I shouldn't be eating wheat, sugar, fat, meat, eggs, dairy, alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, or any GMO fruits or vegetables.
