This company feels like it’s just trying to make people panic about food preparation practices. Do they actually break down how they conduct these tests how much margin of error there is or how sensitive their testing equipment is? Food packing companies aren’t chopping up people or rats deliberately and putting them…

Amazing, I was aware that many early cultures built structures and sets of standing stones to align with the stars, sun and moon but for the Mayans to build all their cities to correspond with the locations of constellations is astonishing! To think no Mesoamerican archeologist ever noticed this pattern before…

How’s about the entire chase/fight scenes in Mad Max Fury Road, it’s like 99 percent CGI free. Only parts of the distant landscape, the very brief sandstorm scene and the giant elevator to raise lower the war rig were the only things I am aware of that required CGI...

Hello Mr. Collins, it’s an honor to have you here to help enlighten us on an number of burning issues. My first question is; I understand you worked with Jeremy Clarkson for a while on top gear. In your experience is Clarkson less of a dick in person than we have been led to believe? or more of a dick? or maybe all…

Yeah feels like a blatant lie, but though the 959 is a pretty hot car there’s no way it’s so fast the government hoards them with things like Veyrons running around unchecked. I have a friend who is a habitual tall-tale-teller (TTT) and he once claimed that he put a boxer/boxster (can’t tell witch he said) in Impreza…

Right. now that I look at it, that makes more sense, in an extremely oxygen rich environment the bugs could afford to grow larger because as lochaber said where surface area is squared, mass is cubed so the bugs could support much larger bodies with so much oxygen being absorbed. I guess my whole point to this was:…

Absolutely, one of the reasons why Martian Man Hunter is so op sometimes. He can fly, is super strong and telepathic, but most notably he can shape shift; changing the appearance, size, mass and density of his body at will, it’s pretty damn useful...

“Ants don’t have lungs, so technically a giant ant wouldn’t be able to breath?” Actually insects like ants absorb oxygen through their skin (carapace) so a giant ant with a whole lot more surface area could breath just fine. Insects grew really huge hundreds of millions of years ago (think centipedes the size of…

I’m sorry, please explain to me again why the MKIV should deserve my fawning adoration? A lot of people seem to talk about it like some kind of mythical car-Eldorado...

I'm just more shocked that his 10 year old daughter isn't plastered to her phone screen 24/7 and is the one who is helping enforce this limitation...

Flying cars won’t become a widespread reality until hover technology (specifically electro magnetic ones like the Lexus hover board) has advanced to the point that we can make extremely reliable and affordable hover cars. Needing a runway in order to take off and land is one of the big reasons flying cars are going to…

So did they just have like a super lean budget?

In looking at the headline I at first worried you were going to start out all sanctimonious, but you are right. Unless you are a millionaire who can jet off to your favorite track/private roadways at will, or you live rather close to a track that has frequent and inexpensive track days, or you live in a place that is…

Was it actually produced by a BBC affiliate or was it Top Gear in name only?

Right and I’m sure it is more palatable to US viewers who for some reason don’t enjoy British humor. (I know, I can’t comprehend it either...)

That said despite what people say about Top Gear USA it has been running for 6 seasons (including the current one), the Aussie show’s cast was somehow even more milk-toast and was cancelled after 4 seasons back in 2011... I did catch an episode of Aus and a few of USA a while back, and I can say that charitably you…

This. Although I realize there will be very noticeable differences, I relish the idea of having twice the Top gear in my life. I suppose I could have been watching TGUSA and TGAUS all along but fuck that noise...

Yep California bleeding-heart hippies care more about being green than saving lives...

The USA is considered to have very few prestigious tracks because -surprise- it’s the Europeans that are doing the “considering”...

This all seems to make sense and I can certainly relate to it, but I guess this really depends on what your definition of “close” is...
