I thought the author's earlier piece on why water is wet was most informative. We've finally deduced the secret identity of Captain Obvious.

As someone who has dealt with an 8-year ongoing fraud situation, I can add the following suggestions:

There was a comic released several years ago where Maul was an augmented cyborg (from the waist down) who hunted down the exiled Obi-Wan on Tatooine to get revenge. There was also another comic where Luke had to battle with Maul's Force ghost.

His take on Snow White is even better.

@Fungi from Berkeley: Wives may come and go but a pneumatic Trek door is fo-evah.

No mention of Jerry Coyne's "Why Evolution is True"? Epic fail. Any top book on evolution must also address the derp being generated by the intelligent design/creationist crowd, and what we've seen in both the scientific literature and the courts to lend credence to evolution.

@WookieLifeDay: Science (if it is practiced successfully) does not claim to want to solve any existential crises of humanity. Science asks "how" and not always "why," unless it points to a derivative of function or precursor elements. Science focuses on naturalistic and epistemic methods of analysis, not…

@WookieLifeDay: Sam Harris has his own issues, in my opinion, one of which is the constant theme of anti-Islamic rhetoric in his work. I find a lot of his insights on neurobiology intriguing, when he tries to ascribe biological underpinnings to our need for belief, but his debates on religion are so thoroughly…

@Pope John Peeps II: Well, where I went to school, when you double quote something you're attributing it to a source, which in this case are the videos in question. Next time put in a little smiley face or some italicized indication, otherwise you will get people seeing your quotes as a way to divert the argument.

So we all turn into Guild Steersmen?

@Pope John Peeps II: Where exactly did it call religious people "retards?" Seems like a straw man argument to me.

It's odd that the fan-made trailer from a year ago with Nathan Fillion looks as good if not better than this one.

Does this twit even know how to speak in complete sentences? It sounds like he's trying to be funny, slipping in references to Stones lyrics but he comes off as someone who is sitting next to Keith smoking something unusual and ranting about nothing in particular. He's just butthurt that his 'book' wasn't #1 with a…

The magic of the original "Who Goes There?" story was that no one had any idea who the alien was. It was masquerading as one or all of them. Some of the later fictional spinoffs gave the impression that someone could be an alien and still retain a portion of the victim's memories.

Sorry, but a Star Trek themed pizza cutter should be a rocker knife shaped like a Klingon bat'leth. Epic fail.

The only absolute I found in a workplace is that executives are the main cause for removal of perks because of abuse. The managers come up with a fancy idea, they end up running it into the ground, and the subordinates suffer for it.

On December 18th, 18 days after our company xmas party where we all got together, sang horrible carols and listened to customer testimonials about how everything was hunky dory, the VP flew in and in his best voice told everyone that the plant would close on February 12th. But, and he got very choked up as he said…

There is the obvious limitation that you may work someplace that doesn't allow Firefox to be installed nor does it allow flashdrives. The secondary issue is installed monitoring software you can't really disable, that will still see your web traffic regardless of what you do. Your boss may not see you on YouTube but…

I found this tool nice; it had the built-in timer function that Display Fusion didn't have without buying it. I am able to set up folders for the pictures, and it works without hogging too much memory. Since the days of Win 3.11, I have had issues finding any wallpaper image randomizer that worked with all the…
