Well first of all I didn’t criticize the Mars Rover program. That’s got nothing to do with the Space Shuttle program and I’m totally on board with it since it’s an extremely sensible first step. But as for the Space Shuttle program, 30 years is a long time to learn how to grow tomatos in near zero gravity. It just…

Any actual space-related breakthroughs? Because I’m not aware of any and in my experience that’s what pisses people off about the Space Shuttle program. It seemed to do everything except the one thing that people actually expected it to do. And now it’s kaput and we’re left looking to the likes of Elon Musk and…

It would have to be Turing. He saved Britain and they killed him for it (well, close enough to it).

Wow. That’s a lot of photos of prostitutes.

This guy is rachet.

Wallström wants Wellick and Elliot to make out, which would no doubt satisfy bevies of fanfic shippers out there

I still can’t believe that he didn’t just throw her off the building to cover his tracks. Or should I be disturbed that it only took me about 10 seconds to reach the conclusion that that was the appropriate course of action?

Has anyone ever seriously tried to kill you? No? Get back to me when they do and we can compare notes.

They aren’t concerned that some people might be offended. They’re concerned that some people might use the research to identify and eliminate gay people. And let’s not pretend that there aren’t people who would want to do that. But having said that, I, as a gay person, don’t think the solution is to not do the…

As a gay person I can tell you that those people already have those stupid ideas. Those people also don’t tend to value science. Certain people think that gay people should be killed. Trust me when I say that I understand that perfectly well. But those people don’t need a “gay test” to find us and kill us. The…

And neither is “Native Indian” while we’re at it. I’m totes sure that the indigenous peoples of North America have never and would never describe themselves as that.

This show is a complete abortion. It’s just awful. And I’ve never thought that killing a child was a good thing before but the actor playing the kid is making me seriously reconsider my stance.

A single adult can eat up to 40 million krill in a single day

I have a degree in psychology majoring in abnormal psychology so I’d say that I probably know more about sociopathy than you do.

Newman’s lawyers are due back in court October 30, where they will likely argue that the government had no legal right to cancel his visa.

Republican? Anti-Christian? Pro-IRA? Confused much?

I would add that the Germans were used to civilians in occupied territories doing as they were told. I think they would have found the British to be a little more obstinate than that. And with the losses they were soon to sustain on the Eastern Front they wouldn’t have had the number of soldiers needed to maintain an…

I think as a parent you should be able to explain what fruit is to your children. If you can’t you probably shouldn’t be a parent and should be sterilized as a precaution.

I’d just like to point out yet again that I find being referred to as a “cis man” offensive. I’m a man. Not a something-man. Just a man. I’m also sick to death of the gender and gender identity bullshit that has taken over io9. Save that crap for the hive-mind over at Jezebel where it belongs.

But we have some cute ones as well...
