Don’t worry - I’m sure they will sue the makers of the lava lamp, the glass cutter, and the hat for not warning them against doing something stupid.

Thank you for sharing. My wife had an abortion very early in our marriage because we weren’t ready. She never talks about it because society still considers it a social/moral crime, even if it’s legal. But you know what? We wouldn’t have our son now if she had gone through with the first pregnancy, because we would…

The 2006 DVDs weren’t just copies from the Laserdisc. I have both, and the Laserdisc has two minor changes that the true original (on the 2006 DVDs) doesn’t have — it has “Episode IV” in the title, and there is a voice-over by C3PO when they are searching the Death Star’s computer for the location of the tractor beam…

I guess my position is that, at least in my country, a woman can abort a fetus that has a birth defect anyway. So if scientists can engineer embryos to not have those defects to begin with, how is that harming the human race?

Isn’t the next Guardians of the Galaxy supposed to come out in May of 2017? One bonus of moving episode 5 to December is Disney won’t have to compete with itself. With all these extra Star Wars and Marvel movies, finding a choice release date is harder.

I’m willing to watch a full-length Simpsons version.

I never understood people who think man can’t affect the earth’s climate. Isn’t cyanobacteria responsible for the earth having a breathable atmosphere? If bacteria can affect our atmosphere and the evolution of life, why can’t humans contribute to climate change? Climate change will occur in the absence of humans, but…

Unfortunately, I think demand for coffee will result in the Sumatran tiger going extinct. We already lost the Javan tiger and, before that, the Bali. Sadly, Indonesian tigers will probably be completely gone within my lifetime. I know this article is about coffee from Brazil, but I can’t hear the word “coffee” without…

Yeah, that’s why adding in Hayden WhateverHisLastNameIs bugs me so much, even more than Greedo shooting first. It’s like Lucas intentionally wants to punish me for not liking the prequels, by not allowing me to enjoy the originals without having the prequels shoved down my throat. With the unaltered versions, I can at…

At least for Star Wars, that DVD is actually “purer” than the Laser-disc version. The LD version still had a couple of alterations that are removed in the DVD — for example, when they are looking through the Death Star’s computer for the location of the tractor beam controls, the LD version still has C3PO talking over…

They both look like black-and-white movies, only in shades of blue instead of grey, and lacking the artistry of old-fashioned B&Ws. And this one even more so.

I’m sure this is a typo — “26 Ga ago First elephants”?

“only 19 people will benefit and 50 people will be harmed in some way” — First, I wouldn’t use the word “only” when describing 19 people who were able to find out they had cancer before there were noticeable symptoms. Second, that one person who had a false negative wasn’t really “harmed” by the process, although she…

“women with an average risk for cancer” — But I’ll bet the insurance companies will still refuse to pay for genetic screening so a woman can learn if she has a higher than average risk.

Is the answer “Jesus”?

I picked 19 and got “Congratulations! You could not have done any better than you did. You correctly guessed two-thirds of the average of the guesses of 51,197 New York Times readers. These numbers may change as more people play, but for the time being, you may relish the fact that you have outsmarted the masses.…

Nothing matters except how it affects me, personally,right now. Screw future generations, that’s their problem. Anyway, Jesus will fix it. And scientists are all liars, paid off to scare us. And any other excuse I can think of to justify being selfish.

Sadly, humans being what they are, my guess is that would only lead to people breeding even MORE cats just to they can collect more bounties.

I cannot seem to get through to my local community that do-gooders who spay/neuter and then RELEASE cats back into the wild are contributing to the destruction of native birds and mammals. They THINK they are all such wonderful people for caring about cats, while “evil” (yes, I was called that) people like me only…

Maybe the rest believe a gun will adequately protect them from cancer.
