LOL at the "soldering" at 2:14 - applying solder to the iron without even touching the work.

Back when I was in college and involved with the student radio station, we used that trick as an initiation prank for noobie DJ's. Feeding their headphones from the playback head of our Revox studio recorder would introduce just enough of a delay to render them speechless. I can vouch for the effectiveness - I was a…

Spoken like someone who's never driven a Miata. I've celebrated the forty-second anniversary of my 14th birthday, and I can vouch for that omnipresent answer.

BodyGuardz Pure user here. Love 'em. The quality and feel is first class, and the replacement program is hassle-free and lifetime. You can even get the replacement sent out while you continue to use the old one - useful if it's simply cracked and still useable; you just have to return the busted one before they'll…

That IS the finished sequence.

A senseless death, but an honorable one.

Top Gear needs to get the last one off the production line, and give it an honorable death.

Specifically, *practicing* homosexuality - simply /being/ gay isn't an issue, it's /doing/ gay that gives them a heart attack. Presumably that lifetime "deferral", as they call it, is because they're paranoid that you might pass on something AIDS-related. But given that they say they test every pint for HIV and…
