I like 'prosthetylize' better, but I can't come up with a good definition for a combination of 'prosthetic' and 'sylize'.

Comic != real life.

I couldn't do this with another human under any circumstance for more than a few days, and those few days would have to the ones that occur right after falling in love and right before the breakup.

Salma Hayek as a suspected TEENAGE female assassin? You really need to watch some movies that have been made in the past 20 years. While you won't get an argument from me regarding her appearance, she's long past being able to play a teenager. Even in 1996's Desperado she played a woman considerably past…

...and they all laughed when I took Opera singing as one of my electives at Ninja School.

I think you will find that the more defining characteristic of a lot of the 'Christians who view fantasy as evil' isn't that they are Christian, but that they are fundamentalists. Fundamentalists of pretty much EVERY major religion seem to have a lot of trouble with fiction and anything that isn't a literal and…

Not to be disrespectful of your religious beliefs (if your description is a reflection on your personal beliefs and not merely an answer to the question), but I don't buy that interpretation. Lots of religious/mythic stories have sacrifice and unlikely heroes. Frodo was meek but he didn't 'inherit the earth'. It…

I saved a copy of the logo when I heard it was going away because I couldn't imagine my world without her in it. Maybe someone has a largish higher-res version of the image somewhere so I could finally get that io9 car wrap I've always wanted?

I appreciate his dexterity and being able to do two fairly disparate things - each requiring a fair amount of skill - at the same time. Not so much the cheap wig and beard.

True, but Tolkien doesn't really delve into the fashion sense of female dwarves so Jackson has to take a few liberties.

That will go perfect in my 20,000 sq ft loft in Soho.

I trust thinkgeek.

You apparently don't have any understanding of how often innocent people go to jail or naively believe that bad things only happen to bad people (since you seem to think innocent people have nothing to fear from a country's law enforcement and judicial forces). I have to think in countries without a heavy tradition…

While the headline is typical gawker inaccurate -because it's not the content that's insane (as the headline says) it's the FACT that he's writing a blog while he is in jail that is 'insane' (I guess ' Jailcell Blog - latest insane twist in John McAfee's Excellent Adventure" doesn't generate as many click-throughs,…

Interesting, from the headline and graphic this is what I was assuming as well. Too many people and you end up with either disgruntled people who didn't get their choice or everyone mildly disgruntled because you had to settle on the blandest thing that everyone could agree on.

thanks - I was hoping some random uninformed person on the internet would weigh in with a thoughtful well-reasoned opinion so I would know what to think about this video without having to do any painful thinking myself. I was also afraid there might be some intelligent questions raised in the comments and I might…

so then i take it you believe Apple is paying Giz huge sums of money for their near constant accolades of all things Apple?

Given the shape/design of that thing I think it would be a perfect match for an Alien themed coffee maker. When the coffee is done brewing a set of inner jaws could extend to 'drool' the coffee into the cup.

No mention of Last.fm? I generally find it's music matching to be as good as Pandora's.

that might be worth it. if it were AJ closer to his age then his mom's.
