Is any other career "baffled" as often as scientists?

Are you sure your PCs volume is up, because that might just be Romney...

I know, reminded me of the story of the little boy in Russia who happened upon a defrosting wooly mammoth and reported it to local paleontologists, 'cause they're in the phonebook apparently.

Is this ear-doping? Will it be banned by competitive sports?

Came on here to say the same thing. Poor, maligned HAL, he was just doing what he was programmed to do.

yes.

They're hazel.

And to support their scientists, they're sponsoring a new particle accelerator?

Ahhh! My heart just exploded from all the awesomeness!!!

How about Hipster Rape, where I'm riding my fixie and some young man with a handlebar moustache and a knit hat knocks me onto the sidewalk and ironically rapes me?

You, madam are a jerk. A jerk for science!!! (I have no idea what that means, but you're awesome.).
