@redtizzy: Obviously the only people who are curvy are black women.

@october271986: Yes. I like you.

@sekushinonyanko: Yeah. Not really an A-list celebrity.

@AngriestGeek: To be fair, they only recently started dating those two athletes.

@Amy Schultz: "Well, she has an extraordinarily curvy body for a non-black woman in American media"

@bootybootisback: Can we please get a mod in here?

@bootybootisback: Why, it almost as if you are suggesting that "marketing onesself as a product" is a BAD thing!

@AngriestGeek: Oh, that D-list celebrity whose name I don't even remember?

@xxdesmus: Obviously you missed the "short circuit" unit in 7th grade science.

@Teh Echoroc: Exactly. It's not the lights, it's the short circuit that will get ya. And it doesn't take much of a spark to light up a dry tree.

When I was growing up in Anchorage, real Christmas trees dried up really, really fast, and there were lots of fires. My dad wouldn't get a real tree—we had an artificial tree for many years. So when my wife started buying real trees, it scared the piss out of me. I would totally nag her to water them.

@cjgentile: I'm on my way.

@t0ughguy0: Troll much? Know any history? The first paved roads in the United States got that way through the advocacy of....yes, cyclists. Yes, cyclists piss me off when they don't follow the law and the rules of the road. I try to stay to the far right when I ride, and ensure that cars can pass. It's common…

@shufflemoomin: Perhaps you should see how yanks behave on bikes before condemning drivers? And yes, this ain't Europe—our quaint cobblestone alleys along gently flowing canals don't exist.

@terryman425: Win. I like bikes, and used to ride a lot, but too many of these cyclists want to get their Lance Armstrong on and play Tour de France, or Tour de Wherever, and put themselves in serious danger. The NY Times just had a story on the number of times that cyclists were observed violating the rules of the…

@neoliminal: You already do. Getting a license to fly your own small plane is expensive, though. But once you do, you can get this sweet ride. Just don't make a bad turn over the East River.

@hefman: I'm guessing you were born sometime after 9/11/01. Yes, this is a major failure. But remember when Wackenhut ran the show? There's 3000 dead people that resulted from that (combined with the airlines' mendacity and FAA's complicity, of course).

@Interstella5555: Indeed, NASA was under a lot of pressure. So much so that they ignored the best engineer Morton Thiokol had, with the best knowledge of O-ring performance of anyone in the program. He knew that the O-rings would fail in cold weather; they ignored him, and the rest is history. NASA blew it on this…

@spamfold3r: No.

I was at work that day. A colleague's wife called the office to tell him. She was freaking out. We initially heard it exploded on the pad, but that the astronauts got out. That was, of course, untrue. This is very sad, of course.
