Even if the time of the Diolkos had matched up perfectly to the invention of the aeolipile, how exactly would you adopt an aeolipile to pull a ship? The aeolipile is a cool toy, but it wasn't, and hasn't been adopted for anything useful because of it's inefficiency. Had someone in ancient Greece somehow managed to…

Thank god they didn't select his girlfriend.

@99TelepodProblems: To be fair, synapsids at the time referred to the great dying as "Our 9/11".

All I have to say about Half Life is that I enjoyed Portal.

This is an especially insensitive misspelling considering the real Shane Soughtwell died of dehydration.

@EggoROYffle: No! When your wife puts the kids to bed, that's your "me" time.

@Achiever: It can be buggy. The second time I lost my star, the notification by the comment didn't show. I kept looking back at the most likely culprits, and eventually it appeared after a couple of days. You'll get it back, though. In the meantime, enjoy responding to idiots without promoting them.

@Sheed's Bald Spot: I always find that changing my Avatar is a good, cheap way to unwind.

Don't bring him back! Let's let Qui-Gons be Qui-Gons.

@Frizzaldo...: It depends. The can of 4Loko I used had to be at least 200 years old.

A little history. The original spelling was actually "alumium" coined by a Brit, no less. That's what I use, because I'm ass. The same man later settled on the spelling "aluminum" which is what's familiar to most Americans. But that was again changed to "aluminium" because "aluminum" wasn't snooty sounding enough.

@Rusty Shackleford: I thought that Good, the Bad an the Ugly had the perfect amount of close up face sweat shots, whereas Once Upon a Time in the West clearly went way over the ill-defined close up face sweat line.

Funny. I picked the Sharks, hoping to catch Maria on the rebound.

@Desi_Relaford: Once you're in, you're in. Feel free to say whatever you want. It's not like there's some process your wife could go through that could terminate your marriage.

@FIFA-Thespian-Federation: I'd definitely price them out. My wife has done budget wedding photography for friends/acquaintances on several occasions. It always ends badly.

@Tulos_Mullet: I liked Ronin, but the voice-over ending, where they explained to us that it didn't really matter what was in the package after all, pissed me off to no end. Way to dumb it down for everyone. Here's how the same writers would write a similar ending for Citizen Kane.

@FavreFAIL: If you have the right friends, you'll have a good time. I took it up a couple of years ago with some guys from work, but they ended up being drunk assholes who took everything way too seriously.

@MarkKelsosMigraine: I just watched the movie Stardust, which I though was pretty damn good, but good lord, Robert De Niro was awful in it. In fact, it might have been the worst depiction of a flamboyant, gay, airship pirate in the history of film.

@ChooChooHarris: I don't want conspiracies, just believable characters I care about, logical behavior, and dialog that doesn't make me cringe.
