Here's a related question that I really want answered: Do other guys flush before they finish peeing, and essentially try to race against the speed it takes the toilet to flush out the water. Because I do, and was shocked to find out at least one other guy did too as it came up in random conservation. Not gonna lie, I…

For starters Pokemon 2000 was a good movie. I've still got my Mew card somewhere. Next, I'm not really sure why people are making an issue out of this at all. Maybe Cain has kids or was without a family's kid when he saw the scene. Or maybe an intern on his staff remembered it and wanted to insert it in there. It's an…

I've seen this happen a lot. Especially among women who are feminists but make a effort in distancing themselves from the term, and I'm just like "why?" The word has just been so demonized by anti-feminists and social-conservatives, that want to send women back to the stone ages, much like how they have made "liberal"…

Probably neither. They showed that these nucleobases could be created naturally in space, without any need for some larger plan. So it's perfectly reasonable to assume that it just happened in space accidentally, and when they fell to earth combined with other chemicals to get the process starting.

The Washington Post has an app like this for DC, but the interface is pretty sad. Hopefully they put more resources into making it better soon. New York has all the fun. I don't know why I left.

I'm not that surprised. MacFarlane is a pretty smart guy, and has a way of getting people to watch things they probably otherwise would not watch, Family Guy is just weird comedy, and he's a science buff. And deGrasse Tyson is all about making science approachable to everyone. On paper this makes sense; however, I'm…

There isn't really a serious market right now for smart TVs like the Google TV, so I have no idea why Google rushed it, instead of building a solid base of apps to go with it at launch.

Ha. Good one. I would guess the latter option at this point.

Why not both? The United States could continue to spend itself into the ground on defense, but if our education system continues to crumble the country will rot from the inside out. It's a like a kingdom spending all of its money building walls to keep enmies out, while the people of that kingdom go hungry and stupid,…

It's not my update year so I won't be getting it, yet. But just out of curiosity can we expect anything big or is this just iPhone4S?

I don't think anyone has an issue with innovation, I think some people, and I include myself here, have a problem with cost and an apparent arms build up, all of which are happening when we are shutting down the manned space program and cutting back on education funding. The amount of money we are probably going to…

I don't see a problem with the ads. If you follow a commercial company's twitter feed, you clearly are interested in hearing from them, it is not as if most users follow twitter because of they only get a constant flow of important critical tweets. One of my twitter feed is from a mime, and all he does is tweet,…

It seems more and more research seems to suggest that while the impact 65 million years ago was catastrophic, it wasn't the end that killed off the age of the dinosaurs—though it might have pushed it over the edge—with declining biodiversity, this big eruptions, and other effects.

It will really depend on what is being offered. Not a Doctor Who or Top Gear fan, but I love Brit comedies both new and old. I'd probably buy a month or so to test it out before I get the full year.

I know if they kept the PS3 being backward compatible the argument was that it would cost too much, but seeing as the PS2 continues to sell so well I don't know why they didn't at least continue with separate models for people willing to spend the extra bucks to have it all in one console.

Oh gawd, why does XIII get brought up every time we talk about "Why doesn't Japan make good games anymore"? The game wasn't that bad, it had story and linear gameplay issues sure, but it wasn't that bad. I think it was enjoyable if you played it all the way through. It didn't change your life, but for crap's sake it's…

"We don't go to the Department of Justice and say, 'Justify your existence!'" Uhm, yes, we do with programs and initiatives within the DOJ all the time. Even with the war inflated Defense budgets we scrutinize their spending all the time. Though admittedly, Defense gets a lower standard that others because its backers…

I really like Neil deGrasse Tyson: he makes science approachable to laypeople, and is really funny, oh and dangerously smart; however, on this one I've got to say I'm not with him. It's not that I don't want us to travel to Mars. It's not that I don't want a permanent base on the moon. Even if those things aren't…

I would be so scared using the Chinese version of Twitter knowing full well that every word you type in there goes through like a billion filters to find trigger words, that will send the goon squad to your house within hours.

I dunno, I've heard a couple of reasons why "If it's possible, why hasn't it happened yet" argument isn't all that convincing. The first is that if we do ever manage to time travel we would only be able to travel back in time to the point when we figured out how to do it. In effect making it impossible to ruin the…
