Did they really need Benford's law to verify fraud in Iran's elections? When a district turns in votes for 111% of the population, it's not just the number of 1's that give it away.

@RandomThought: Damn you, The Canceler!

@Blaaargh: I'll run and warn Sarah Connor.

Damn, she's broke. I wanted to see if I could trick her into telling me her Skynet plans.

Thank you for doing this article, because I love Ellis and was hoping there was some more sweet, sweet Ellis books out there. Now I just need more free time.

@Dayburner: But where will they find an early 90's mac to upload the virus?!

@CanuckJacq: No longer will the zombies be so clever and have such long memories. We did it!

Man, it looks like he started that fight for no reason. He deserved to have his own chair thrown at him.

@dopepope: "I'm serious crow, we should do a movie together. It could be huge."

Great, I just signed a 5 billion year lease. I'll never get that security deposit back.

With babies on their side, the robots will be unstoppable. Definitely.

"Each volunteer was struck 18 times at different impact energies, with the robot arm fitted with one of two tools - one blunt and round, and one sharper."

I worked at a haunted house a few years back as an actor. We won a people's choice award and were on the Travel Channel once. Oddly, this experience has not added much to my resume.

@nahde: I would have thought that the backups would have their own planes and bunkers and what-not. Having the entire government on one plane doesn't seem like it would EVER be a good idea.

See, Zarmina is just a "theory". If Zarmina was real, why doesn't it say anything about it in the Bible?

"The president's shielded emergency plane was put into the air too (although they couldn't get the president on it in time)."

@What Would Dumbledore Do: That's why we need sexier astronauts.

And I always thought of metal bands as such a reasonable group...

You hear that, astronauts? Use protection.
