So the Black Stig got launched off an aircraft carrier (officially a "through-deck cruiser). What's the over-under on the demise of the White Stig? Will we next have a Red Stig? A Blue Stig? A British Racing Green Stig?

@RLJ676-LS3 Commuter Car - for the environment: Depends on the year for Nissan. My late, lamented Sentra GXE was built for the 1997 model year in Smyrna, TN.

@Cheeseslap is bombing a dumphole: I must not be your average commuter. Discs are lighter, easier to service or replace, and perform better in adverse conditions (like rain, which Florida has in abundance).

Unfortunately, Mr. "You Are Not So Smart" is not so smart in explaining a few things:

@HPe: That was one of the best lines in any film ever, because the preceding portion of the film so beautifully set up what we all knew was going to happen that Cameron didn't even need to show it. Just "Say... That's a nice bike!" and then it's his. :D

I can't believe nobody caught the most obvious error in this piece. The Liquidmetal company's process cannot possibly change the atomic structure of metal by simply heating it, unless they're heating it to a temperature that would cause fission. (fusion is highly unlikely in the alloys they're working with). …

@Roger_Wilco: Or porn stars.

Here's a compromise for the RIAA: You agree to shut down and go the hell home, and we agree to quit making fun of you.

@GuardDuck: I trust Snopes.com over the Free Republic any day of the week.

@GuardDuck: Stop reading freerepublic.com. They're giving you false information: [www.snopes.com]

@Mr_Academic: Ah. In that case, I agree completely. In a perfect world, we'd all be superusers, capable of adapting organizations and ourselves as necessary to do what we need to do to advance our civilization. Unfortunately, in a perfect world, Glenn Beck would have jumped in front of John Lennon.

@Golem100: Haven't tried them. Are they a pay service?

@JakeWharton: You're absolutely right. It's the few rotten million who spoil it for the other eleven.

@Kerc 2.0 beta: Oh, it looks gorgeous, no doubt. But when Richard Hammond finally got to buy and drive one on Top Gear, he couldn't get over the wretched ergonomics, the massive amount of effort it took to change gears, and the pervasive smell of gasoline in the cockpit. They weren't well-built.

The names you're looking for on the Countach entry are "Reagan" and "Cybill Shepherd." It hasn't been that long since the 1980s. Yeah, I know it's just mechanical stuff and not directly related to the subject matter, but mistakes like that are distracting.

@kleer001: I was kinda hoping you'd say, "Actually, I think crawling up out of the oceans was generally a bad move." ;)

@screemname: Nobody owns the Internet. They own the pipes, and should not be allowed to use that ownership to bully consumers.

@Mr_Academic: Absofragginlutely. However, I do want to suggest that governments have the duty and should have the authority vested by the people, not the right. Governments should never have rights, but only those powers and authorities accorded them by their constituent citizens.

@screemname: The governments of the world should tell Burger King that they have to charge exactly the same amount for every burger they sell no matter how much meat is in it?

@BootHillBossanova: Not a real argument: if there's nothing else to buy but a bad product, that's not the consumer's problem.
