@Berkeley: You bet your ass WE have.

@Scorpio GTX1: Yea, I'm not sure. I wouldn't be surprised if he was in Michigan for this shootout. It's not too far away. Our department also just purchased 500 new Crown Vics this year, so maybe that will keep us from having to make a decision for awhile. I don't know how fleet services work however.

I grok this.

@Hello Mister Walrus: Test it on a what?!?!?!

I'm a police officer on a 1600 officer force. I had just talked to our fleet services manager, an LT, and asked him what he was looking at buying after the Crown Vic was retired. He said he was going to buy the Crown Vic up until they stopped making them in March of 2011. He said after that, the two main concerns…

I'm coming to this party late. With the inclusion of adaptive optics and interferometry, ground based telescopes have surpassed the resolution that Hubble can achieve. I wish I could give you a wonderful little example like, if Hubble was a pinhole camera, then the Keck is a NASA Hasselblad, but I don't know how…

I never realized how much of that book I had forgotten about.

I'm sorry if anyone was injured because of the storm. I am NOT sorry if anyone was injured because they refused to take heed once the storm started rocking the boat. That woman smacking her head half-way through was completely preventable. It seems like cruiseships always have the lowest common denominator on board.

@Lauren Shaw: Protecting of the life would be the easy part. Protecting ourselves from being contanimated will be the hard part. Those nerdy scientists will go nuts to insure we don't bring back a martian bug.

@zeeboid: Yawn. Next.

I'm going to ruffle some feathers. Maybe risk a disemvoweling, or even get the banhammer. But what I am going to say is not conjecture or speculation, just the truth: I have it on good authority from a professional involved with the NFL, Quinn Pitcock quit the NFL because he was/is a homosexual. I am not…

I will appreciate Calamari all the more knowing I am eating something that is close to my equal.
