There are 563 track fires that trash contributes to? How many track fires are there in NYC subways that trash didn't contribute to? Seems reasonable to estimate roughly two track fires a day total. Seems like a huge number of fires... and how many metal objects large enough to create a short are people disposing of…

Hey, just a comment from someone who's hemophiliac father died from HIV-infected Factor VIII. I 100% agree that this practice no longer makes sense. Prior to the AIDS epidemic, blood was "pooled" together by type, which led to a public hepatitis scare before the AIDS crisis. We no longer do that, we no longer take…

What wac172 said and also, the supply isn't sufficient in a lot of places.

Yes. And I'm answering this seriously even though it was rhetorical. (I know this stuff intimately, so to speak. I had a bi-lateral lung transplant 4 and a half years ago and I have degrees in medical ethics.) On the receiving side of the transplant, when you go through the consent process, there is a "socially high…

I dunno about this comment, man. Might wanna think this one through a bit more.

Whenever we have blood drives at work, somebody inevitably always asks me to donate. When they ask why I can't (expecting me to say something about living abroad or being anemic) and I reply with "I have sex with men", the look of sudden shock on their face is priceless.

Hey thanks for making me feel better about my screw up from 7 years ago! Yeah, I'm paying for it. Thus passing down the advice to get your shit together and not do that.

At one place I worked, I inherited a weekly meeting. The meeting was actually a part of my job requirement. I quickly learned that over half the attendees had no reason to be there beyond the FREE doughnuts and coffee furnished by the company for all or these type meetings. And that some of the dead wood would justify…

I agree that it appears he was setup, but he took the bait, hook, line, and sinker, and showed his true colors. She's no angel, and her responses are meant to portray herself as this enlightened person (she isn't, she recorded this to cash out and either blackmail him or sell it for big bucks to TMZ and DeadSpin). But…

Someone didn't really read the conversation or the articles illustrating his past racism.

A cunt-n-paste mix-up.

Let those among us without an image of a lady inserting a plane into her vagina copied to our clipboard throw the first stone.

To die for safety is to die a noble death. They'll have to erect a monument to those who so nobly died along that stretch of road in the name of safety. That means setting up a construction zone... Better break out the LRAD.

Once again revisiting Trip G in the chart above, let's assume that over the course of that 50 mile trip, you encounter 25 traffic lights (or one every two miles), each with the potential for an average 30-45 second wait time. This means the potential time lost at red lights is anywhere between 12.5 to 18.75 minutes.…

First, props for covering how stupid this issue is.

I get subjected to sexist comments in real life. As a relatively attractive woman in a STEM field, it's the background radiation of my life.

So blacks, gays, women, Jews, etc. should carry the burden of avoiding being called niggers, faggots, cunts and kikes because straight white guys can't act civilized?

So now we live in a world where it's OK to be an asshole because if your douchebaggery is a problem for someone, they're just being overly sensitive?

Just tell them you're going to keep an open mind. After all that will be the truth. And if you happen to find that the drug law they're trying to charge someone under is unconstitutional, well then you'll just have to do your duty, then, won't you?

I wish more people understood jury nullification.
