You went to a very notable drama school in England, Guildhall School, with some people who would eventually become famous in the States (Naveen Andrews was there around the same time, I believe?). You also dropped out of medical school in your 5th year. My question is this, in two parts: What it it about telling…

@Doug Dascenzo's Only Fan: I believe that there would have to be masks involved for this to be Calvinball.

I love abandoned theme parks. Makes me think of 'Mask of the Phantom.' There's a great abandoned World Expo park in Sevilla; its creepy as hell.

@Annalee Newitz: Glad? Sad!

@Scott Messinger: Doesn't the energy disipate, though? With energy based weapons, the energy would radiate away as electromagnetic radiation, probably over a short period of time, since its not sustained.

Odds of him hitting two holes in one during a single round? 26,045,834 to 1.

@twoeightnine:

Not pictured: The other Kardashian sisters.

The name of Cavalier's biography?

@twoeightnine: those kinds of people are sort of magical to watch; they are propelled by the momentum of their shamelessness.

@Phintastic: My favorite is when you lend someone your car, and say "It needs gas. Now." To which they smile and nod, and then, ten minutes later, they call you up and say, "I'm out of gas." What the fuck do you want from me? I WARNED YOU.

WHY ARE YOU SO HIGH MAINTENANCE, YOU PIECE OF SHIT?!

@FavreFAIL: Neither does Frank Ribery.

Which is more awkward: Walking in on a roommate watching bestiality porn, or walking in on a roommate plating Flight Simulator and crashing a plane into the towers while talking ominously to himself about how now, they will finally listen?

It doesn't help that Chrisopher Nolan ends every interview about the movie by putting a black rock in a microwave and blowing up your house. It is always nice to see Fireman Sean Connery though.

He tried to explain who Jay-Z was, assuming that because I am a white, Jewish, Canadian female I'd never heard of Hov.

A shocking amount of the human genome is made up of junk DNA - of the some 3 billion base pairs of DNA, 98% of them are junk. That leaves the remaining 2% to do the all-important work of coding the creation of proteins and other needed molecules. The term "junk DNA" is an unusually direct (even crass) one for science,…

Whatever, I was there on Thursday and the guy next to my friend got gored in the leg. They don't do this just once, you know.

Someone grab an EpiPen! Looks like the Italians might be allergic to Kiwis!

It's a shame that the crisis in Darfur has fallen by the wayside in the past two years or so, at least amongst college kids (if they can be judged as any metric of civic activity.)
