I still want to know what was in the case. Yeah, yeah, I know. You don't remember. Seriously, what was in the case?

In the immortal words of Frost "Well, what the hell are we supposed to use? Harsh language?"

That first paragraph was absolutely brilliant. *bump* *star* *whatever io9 uses these days to promote people*

More scantily-clad hot chick characters. Fewer leftist themes that would only work in the fantasy worlds created by Hollywood. (Hey, you don't ask, you don't get).

Sagan talks about Orion in Cosmos suggesting that a 10% speed of light vehicle could be built this way. My question is how much it would cost to produce the fissionable material needed. Which leads to another question: how fast could you go with one or two bombs?

And to Kubrick's credit, he avoided blowing smoke up Clark's ass with phony terms of endearment e.g. "Babe"

We keep trying to tell the health food loons that it's all bunk and they're only wasting their money. I used to eat health food until I realized most people die of natural causes.

Back in the 80s I worked for Crazy Eddie one summer. There are plenty of people who believe in goofy crap like this and there always will be. The top sales guys were really good at identifying who would be willing to buy a maintenance contract for a CD player. "Just bring it in and we'll realign the lasers at no…

And yet you can buy prescription drugs online and all the pot growing supplies you want and people demand that it all be legalized. really? REALLY? REALLY!?!?!?! There is no...such...thing...as...a...victimless...crime.

Craftsman has come out with some useful tools over the past few years or rather smart approaches to existing tools but what's wrong with this is how big it is. More often than not, the nut or bolt head is embedded in the rest of the device so you really need thin-walled sockets with an extension and a universal joint…

Ya know, we Americans saved South Korea's ass in the 50s and continue to protect them from the North to this day and this is the thanks we get? Sheesh. #sarcasm

Okay, two things: 1) If I won the PowerBall, I would totally do this. 2) What's that music?

Anyone else realize BOHICA means "Bend over, here it comes again"?

OMG, you are sooooo young. Try the Ontario Science Centre circa 1975.

Pfft. If these guys are so good at predicting stuff, why haven't they tried to predict Powerball or some other equally chaotic system? If they were able to pull that off, I might think about their climate predictions.

Can't be any worse than getting your news from The Daily Show or The Colbert Report.

Not to worry. All those whackjobs spraying vinegar to get the chemtrails to dissipate will ensure this doesn't work.

How about "How to telecine several thousand feet of 8mm, Super 8, and 16mm film without taking out a second mortgage"?

For those who live in SoCal looking for something to do, down in Hemet sits their production facility called Golden Era. The soundstages are massive and the grounds immaculate so you really can't miss it.

Trouble with dictation software is that you end up with a mild case of OCD in having to proofread your transcription. I type something and usually it's correct. The words weren't misinterpreted. Yeah, Siri is cool but lately she brain farts and doesn't understand seemingly obvious stuff. The other day I asked her…
