Karl Pilkington will be seated here...

Yes, but he's looking at a camera feed. What if the computers doctor the feed while ramming a torpedo full of Cheerios and Angel Soft at the living quarters? "It's all right Dave," they'll say, but it won't be all right. He should be dangling out there with a sextant and an abacus.

let me tell ya something son—the thing in LA in 1984 was funded via private funds then handed over to the city and made a PROFIT while doing it —and 30 years later we STILL USE everything built for those EVENTS!!!!!!

LA was and might STILL be the only Olympics that made a profit pre 2000 and London may? have after 2000

It's so beautiful it brings a tear to my eye too.

Every state needs an official state passage from a fictional text.

Did I miss the memo that states that all R/C airplanes and helicopters are to referred to as "drones" from now on? This term, ugh, I get it for military use, but for civilians, it just makes hobbyists sound like terrorists.

Internet life can make us feel like we've seen everything . . . then mother nature hits us with something so gosh-darn breathtaking, we feel like preschoolers learning about airplanes again.

I know a lot of people who are not L.A hate L.A. but man, do I love this city! It is definitely one of the best places to live if you're 18-35. I wouldn't raise my kids here, for that I would move down to OC.

You know, I think Apple products are pretty great, but the world gives WAY too many fucks about Apple ads. They are just ads for fuckssake.

Wait just a cotton-picking minute here. Are you implying that advertisements are ... faked?! WTF?! My whole world is collapsing!

Yeah, instant access to all human knowledge in my pocket: no big deal. And going to the moon was just anti-Communist propaganda. Whimsy is dead, life sucks, we get it. Ho hum.

School bus fire? I hope there's kids.

Can somebody explain how the sun spewing gases at high velocities while heating these same gases to very hot temperatures "present significant challenges to current theoretical models"?

The star density in the photo is so high they almost look like noise. To think that's just a tiny fraction of all the stars in our galaxy and that our galaxy is just one of many (and using the word "many" here is in fact such an understatement). It's truly mindboggling.

I imagine the level of security and the level of signage varies based on quantity and type of material.
If they are moving a bomb it's likely not gonna be in the back of a minivan with a sticker that says 'please don't steal-contains nuclear warhead'.

You are basically asking why it matters that we can convert from units to other units. And let's face it, that is a bad argument.

Go eat a shit.

The timing of this piece could not be worse or better for me. I just got the call this afternoon that my dogs test result came back positive. She has a tumor and they believe it could be cancerous. It has to be removed to be tested and the surgery is no small change. I have never felt such a whirlwind of emotion. I…

Jesus didn't make the sun. Raptor Jesus did.
