Anxiously awaiting this year's Google offering.

Which? The political part? Or the Mac smash? "And remember, this is for posterity so be honest. How do you feel?"

I wonder if our grandfolks encountered this much static when they quit watching TV on the radio?

That's what I was wondering. That and whether it was an April Fools joke. Hey Hollywood! I pay Netflix $10 a month and get to stream as many crappy movies as I want. Nah nah na na nah!

Typical politician, avoiding answering the question. He's probably embarrassed because he owns a Mac.

Anybody else think that the pregnancy storyline was their way of lightening things up? I was actually amused by the whole thing, especially Aidan's reaction when he found out Josh asked Nora "the question".

"Do you think they call it Mercury because any thermometers placed on the surface explode and all the mercury runs out?"

I was wondering that. How many people use less computers now that they can test OSes and software in virtual machines. I have a couple computers stored away that I used to pull out when I wanted to try out a new flavor of Linux or something but I no longer have the need. I still find it hard to part with them.

Can you roll the book up and use it to swat flies? That would really be useful.

Methinks NASA lied. I'll bet space aliens carjacked it. Spacejacked it?

@Moebius:

2 billion earth-like planets? Isn't it obvious that someone from one of those planets is stealing our nitrogen? Somebody from another planet is probably taking all our helium. According to this article we're also running short on chocolate, medical isotopes, phosphorus, water, and...GASP!... tequila.

Here come the Goa'uld! Cover your body orifices!

Poor man's light saber?

The general consensus around here is that our tap water is crap...

In the recent Iron Man movies it sorta looked like there were electronics in the shield. Maybe they'll explain it away as being surrounded by some sort of force field? With a homing beacon so it always returns to him when he throws it?
