@Death_By_SnuSnu: No, because the lack of 'distinctness' between the two sounds is exactly what causes the effect. In other words /ba/ and /ga/ and /da/ and /va/ would all be subject to it between themselves, /wo/ and /th/ would not.

Jeff Goldblum is disappoint.

@NightyFury: This is Harrison Ford and Daniel Craig's Snakes on a Plane.

@OMG! Ponies!: Someone with your nick would have to say that.

Correlation != Causation

@Queenjulie: It helps the people making decisions. It's easier to lowball folk you don't like if they can't tell you are lowballing them. It's easier to promote someone you like if no one else knows they are being promoted.

@crackerjackheart: At that point it's up to A&B to look at each other, determine if they are actually doing the same job, and if so, one of them gets to scream.

Automated milkers aren't new, they've been around for about two decades.

@GeicoCaveman: Definitely something the GeicoCaveman would say. What's wrong with her outfit?

Wish I could heart an entire article.

@Steve Williams: Or the cannibalism. Or the overt "Muslims are bad" schtick that was just as fashionable back then when it was becoming the popular "black answer to Christianity".

@Rumblytums: Honestly though, even when you finish that book it's kinda hard to say there was a story in it.

Farnham's Freehold by Heinlein. If anything he wrote really let his racist show, that was the book.

They've decided to renew the free bumper program!!

Then... and now.
