I'm more worried about the colonizers that are already there...

Jokes on you science! As a person of hazel eye color, people report my eyes being blue, green, or hazel depending on what I wear. You're look for a man with blue eyes? Sorry science, all I see is a dude in a green shirt with green eyes!

Are all women's jeans really made with spandex?? Men's jeans usually aren't, but even all-cotton denim loosens up throughout the day.

I can't wait till I can learn TV-VCR repair and other important skills just by watching a screen.

At least they didn't go with a more depressing color.

I still call them venereal diseases or VDs. I mean they are the diseases of love after all.

I've thought about this a bit, since I tend to run in Central Park (around the reservoir) late at night (after 10pm). And while I wouldn't fight for my phone, I would through it in the water if someone tried to take it from me. I mean they would have everything, if they could break my 4-digit passcode.

Giant crocodile captured alive in Philippines? WHAT?? How did I miss that? My thefacebook.com friends suck at posting.

Nothing fun for kids to do in Paris??? What??? Just take them to watch a rousing game of jeu de boules. French kids love sitting and watching their grandparents play for hours. So, I'm sure your toddler will have a swell old time in gay Paris! Take him! TAKE HIM!!

Check out my reply to Mr_Armageddon below. Short answer: they think Americans can understand accents.

I'm afraid they actually believe that Americans won't be able to understand a British accent, which may be true in certain parts of the country (ever see Brits/Australians/South Africans subtitled for a mass audience?). Either Americans are stupid or broadcasters assume we are. Luckily, it seems like Netflix usually…

I love Alec Baldwin, but F-U Discovery channel. Leave Attenborough in all of them. Sigourney Weaver was acceptable. Oprah was terrible. And even if Baldwin is decent, Attenborough will always be better.

They'd never get hired*.

Here are some fun facts about Hippos I found for you:

I have pretty great/awful theft story:

Lets hope so unknown intergalactic space "wind" will blow it closer.

Thanks uRbAn! And brettwmorris, it will get somewhere (in about 40,000 years), like uRbAn said: [en.wikipedia.org]

Does anyone know if Voyager I/II is heading anywhere specific? That is, while I known it is super hard to aim a 70s-launched spacecraft toward a specific point with much accuracy, did we send it in the general direction of a nearby star? Just in case?
