@teh1andonlym0: I know, its a load of crap *giggle*

@Curves: True, I'm a guy so I might not get the sutil differences but when I need to go in a fashion were I must sit down, I rather be comfortable. I ALWAYS carry a backpack, I'm a little bit of a packrat so I feel uneasy just with my wallet. If I go to a bar or a club I bring my baggy pants with big pockets and I…

@Damage: FJORD! Narf!

@curtisimo: It's actually funny. The thing that non-native english speakers find the hardest about english is the simplicity of the language. It's so boiled down that one word may mean a lot of things. English is all about the context, to a point that even if you don't know what a word means in a paragraph, you can…

@veronykah: It's a possibility. I grew up with both English and Spanish (spanish being my mother tongue and English being taught to me at a very young age, thanks the universe for my foreseeing parents and their decision to enroll me in a bilingual preschool). It is hard sometimes to be able to differentiate between…

@edixoo: You have room for one more? *shudder*

@SevenSwordKnight: Words to describe the laughter coming out of me right now fail me. I was unable to type for about 10 minutes re watching this....AWESOME!

@Dnyde: I'm guessing Johnny was just thirsty and saw a glass bottle filled with "water" and then gulped the whole thing down. Then felt a curious breeze coming in from his chest before collapsing. Well, that would be the "cartoon" version. Reality would be a lot more.....gruesome.

@Shen Ye: That would be awful, I know it was in jest, but I meant that there is already a bacteria that eats flesh, living, breathing flesh:

@hercules_100_98: Oh Science! How I love thee.

@leftatmars: Excellent analogy. Thanks!

@Guicciardini: You win just for the QC nod my good friend. Marten and co. always have the answers to everything indeed.

@plesiosaur: It is possible that even if we continue our search for knowledge outside our own blue marble, we will not discover all the things it has to show us before we're gone. This thought although a bit sad, always awes me.

I know this is a very interesting article but I keep reading it in Sheldon's helium-laced voice and can't stop laughing. I'll try to get serious and read it properly.

@Hunter2458: This remids me of a nice poem:

@FrankenPC: Funnily enough it involves another "Z" word.....Zippo!

@lazyeight: how does that work exactly? I mean, if I throw a rock out of a moving car it goes at speed of throw + speed of car (assuming no friction or gravity that is). So if I fire a beam of photons (or turn on a flashlight) while going at "c" doesn't the same occur? I'm not playing smartypants, I really would like…

@veelox75: *in a high pitch voice* Thank God for cold fusion! *opens beer*

@choiniej: Also, isn't helium used on high pressure enviroments to avoid pure oxygen flames? Or am I waaaay back on my updates?
