"America: Come for the national secrets. Stay for the coffee."

@FriarNurgle: My first thought exactly.

Wait... who supplies the blood?

"Sorry I'm in such a bad mood lately guys. And I'm sorry I won't be able to play Basketball this Saturday. You see... it's that time of the month for me. That time when my girlfriend makes me wear a PMS simulator so I can sympathize and become a more understanding partner."

Is this why you guys keep dropping your iPhone?

@djdare: In defense of the Blank whitish gold label, what's in the brown paper bag is clearly not wine. Perhaps a 40 of the Olde English or Night Train variety.

@IN THE FACE!: As Archimedes said, "Give me a bottle of wine big enough and a place to stand, and I'll drink the world under the table."

Single Serving

Single Serving is great and all, but if only there was some way to put more wine into the glass after it's been drunk. I tell ya', the guy who solves that riddle should get a goddamned Nobel Proze.

@Skunky: Given the symmetry of the values, I would guess they just split the difference. A best fitting ellipse for the moon may exist with which they define a Zero elevation, but in this case I would wager they just cut the range in half. I could be wrong though.

@PacJack360: Incorrect. It looks like Two Dildos.

Unless your roof is faced directly into the sun, wouldn't all that ribbing and ruffling of the terracotta drastically diminish the effectiveness of the solar panels? Depending on the angle, each ridge would prevent some light from hitting the next panel. And from the close up photo it looks as if there's more shade…

@SkipErnst: Luckily our government seems fairly inept at pulling off any major coordinated undertaking. We're not enough of a police state for the internet to get shut down.

@nsrexler: Too many terrorists twittering all at once.

I don't think it's a threat yet (and hopefully never will be in the States) but when I read this the first thing that come to mind was the internet being shut down around elections, with only government sponsored websites allowed to stay up.

@KryptonZero: My vote is that Superman would fly really fast in a circle over the gulf creating a low pressure zone that would suck all the oil and water up into it. As the oil and water mixture spun in the vortex, the two would separate. Then, before you can say "Hey... has anyone ever told you that you look a lot…

Really? U-010? They're going with that format for the model numbering? Nothing'll make the ocean a warmer and happier place like the reintroduction of U-Boats.

@trs: It's from the BBC version. "It's Always Foggy in Basingstoke"

@OtherTimes: Okay... I got another one.

As far as getting the beam to terminate (which seems to be a popular topic here), what about if the handset emits two or more beams angled to meet 3 feet or so from the point of emission? They could interfere with each other destructively and cancel each other out past that point.*
