@zimzthegnome: The best British sci-fi does have a pretty unique opening, though.

Crazy. Sure, kids do use pens and pencils as "weapons" (and I have a graphite spot tattoo to prove it!), but no more than anything else easily available.

@Arken: Yep. A Scottish guy by the name of James Bowman Lindsay was the first to get a sustained light, but he never really developed it beyond the initial concept.

@atxace04: Wouldn't you mark the line after you take the turkey out?

Remind me never to crash in Mexico without a bunch of Marines. Awesome job.

@Llew: I'm Irish too, just lazy and didn't want to do the maths! About 6 million to 300 million is nice and round. :P

@MercerCh00x: By virtue of a 50x larger population than the island of Ireland, they're bound to catch a higher number.

@kratos_hates_everyone: Honestly, I've been pleasantly surprised in my dealings with them.

@916CALLTURK: Yep, I should have added "at a very reasonable price'.

Open question - Is there a midsize laptop out there that combines a slim design, great features (Blu Ray, fingerprint scanner, HDMI out, 1080p screen etc.), and mid-high end gaming power?

Egg-celent!

@chriswinters: In the original, lower case "m" sense, yes. It's a combination of "marionette" and "puppet", the control methods of which are blended in this style of character.

@RB26Skyline- big bore envy: Congratulations, sir, you win today's internet. Use it wisely.

@ieatbabies: I agree with the sentiment, but also add the previous XK8 and XKRs, some of the best looking Jags ever made. There are conversion kits out there, but it's a real pity tha they never came stock...

That's some expensive plonk - €100,000 each!

@salt_bagel: Or 167mph... [jalopnik.com]

@dragonfliet: This one doesn't have time for your solid waste excretions...

@Jeice: It depends on what the host was...

You rang?
