FWIW, I get my 'cable' from the phone company, and they don't pressure me to get a phone.

What's wrong with being the mayor of a hotel or a restaurant? Even a Hooters or a hotel at the airport.

Tennis? Please.

You know, I like how you narrowed it down to a single thing like plate techtonics.

Just out of curiosity, was that last one a real "medical apparatus"? Because if so that's quite possibly the BEST use of CF ever.

Not a big fan of House then, were you?

I agree, chalkboards are messy. Switch her to dry erase and you'll both be happier.

I bet that's because you also have undiagnosed lupus.

I thought that was cool too. All of the old pictures my grandfather that my grandfather had always always ALWAYS had the props either obscured or covered. I always assumed there was some special geometry to them or something random that they didn't want the 'furriners to know about.

Obligatory Popemobile reference, this time from our own Ben Wojciechowski, er, Wałęsa, no um, Wally Dallenback... from Ben.

Who said anything about federal law, state courts can still overrule state laws.

Sorry, but as far as shapes go, a rectangle with rounded corners has already been taken.

Again... you're completely ignoring that courts can say what laws are valid and which ones aren't. States at one point had laws that said that people of certain races and genders couldn't vote... doesn't mean that's the end of their liability.

True story: I sold Chevy's for a couple of years after college and before I could land a real job. People always asked me what the best price was. I always told them "five grand over sticker, because anything after that I don't get a commission for."

So lemme get this straight: Apple fanboi browses Victoria's Secret online catalog, complains about pictures of boobs on his blog, and is completely unaware that it demonstrates his immense lack of knowledge of or experience with the female anatomy.

02:01 - that doesn't look all that safe.

You seem to have replied multiple times... but just because they have written liability laws, doesn't mean that they still won't be held liable. This would be a civil court case and government can't simply erase their own liability through these types of laws.

Not necessarily true. If the driver drove into the sign, or if the potholes leaped off the ground and into the vehicle then you'd be correct. Otherwise, the TX DOT is gonna lose this one in court.

Wait, don't they use the metric system over there?

You know, I've always liked these types of things, and I'd love to build one someday.
