@ThaMofo: You know the song that line's from is about nuclear war, right? The future was bright with the flashes of atomic bombs.

@jamescobalt: Hush ye, and your data, too! I'll stick with my anecdotes, thanks!

@SparklyJesus: New York or California? I'm just impressed you're literate.

@Mr_Quackers: I don't drop any calls above ground. I break up in tunnels, but usually keep the call there, too.

@Mr_Quackers: Easy there, Broseph. I don't know about that bro, but if you come up to me and you're all "Brodate, Bromaldehyde?", I'd be all "Whoa, Bromine! That's bromosexual!"

@soujisama: I tried to picture phone calls moving around. What did they look like? Ship? Motorcycles?

@elenath: Promoted, promoted, a thousand times promoted!

@jturnbow: Good point. I see it from time to time, but it's not particularly common here.

@jturnbow: Yeah, but goat's pretty uncommon, really.

@ringer81: Budweiser?

@Slinkytech: And as tasty!

@Curves: Same here. I try to reason in my head that it's weirder that we consume cow milk, but I just can't. DAMN YOU SOCIETAL NORMS!

@FranksWasHere: It was Madoff.

@Trollspanker: True. Fission IS what's going on, but not at the same level as what you get in the reactors.

@stre: Yeah, you wouldn't want to be giving that a hug.

@jms: And why would that be happening? You could sit on that cask without any ill effects. It's quite safe.

@martinmatty: Uranium, mostly. It's still undergoing fission, just not as quickly as would be useful in a reactor. In the reactor, it's putting off a good deal more heat, which heats the water (usually) that it's in, which flows through sealed pipes with other water running over them. The other water takes the heat…

@Nihilexistentialist: Nah. Where were the ftairs?

@Herr_Synnberg: I love how your typo was on a variant of stupid.

@stevenjcarney: Same here. Inside the city centers or in the nicer suburbs, sidewalks are common. Elsewhere...it's a crap shoot.
