@CarbonatedFalcon: I favour that 3 years down the track (30 is too long to wait) we learn that the flu was preventing.... Oh wait, I see @SpammerOvThe Gods has beaten me to it. Never mind.

@waclark57: Err rrright, but. If you marketed it to oenophiles you wouldn't mention that you can fit a whole bottle in, instead you'd be talking up whatever it is that putting a normal 150ml of wine into a ginormous glass is supposed to do.

@Illundiel: I was thinking more recent for example spying on US citizens without the benefit of judicial oversight and circumventing the rule of law by holding [alleged] criminals offshore.

@Yengwa: and legally I had to wait until I was 18. You know, the same age you are considered responsible enough to vote and select the person that can initiate thermonuclear destruction.

Dont get all physicy on me. 3D moves don't 'work'. All current evidence supports me.

@Illundiel: I can think of any number of things that people thought that the US would never do but they happened anyway.

@♠ Final ♠: I'd rather avoid being hit with any of them at all thanks all the same.

@tylerbrainerd: if the paint is thin enough and you get the mix right so it doesn't bead, the paint spreads out and the strokes disappear. You have to wait longer for it to dry, but there's nothing magical.

@Jared D: The difference is that the Chinese aren't interested in selling, while the Louvre would if the price is right.

@Go Vols!: Just what I was going to say, only my other news was going to be that we have unconfirmed reports that the Ocean is both wet and salty.

@waclark57: Not being an oenophile myself I wont claim to understand it, but I have some certified wine snobs for friends and the glasses they use for red wine are seriously the size of buckets.

@Curves: Pffft! This is why I know that the US can not really be the greatest country in the world: you poor bastards need to wait until you're 21.

@ziffelbat: or possibly you're a man with a girly hair cut and enormous man boobs?

@Aeros: Then you lady, have man hands.

@HK-47: the problem will be dodging the personality tests on the way out of the theater.

@BoxOfScraps: You know, the thing that annoys me about Scientology being recognized as a real religion in Australia is that 'the force' is not, even though I'm sure that we got the numbers in the census.

@Graviton1066: I think that's a great idea and I dont want to sound like i'm dissing it, but that kind of intervention is needed because the market isn't going to cut it.

@Graviton1066: The innovation of the market place is driven by the profit motivation. You are not going to make more money filtering microscopic pieces of plastic from the ocean than you could from making it from the raw petroleum; or normal terrestrial recycling for quite some time.

No, No, No. The only way to reduce this mess is through genetically engineered bacteria.

@Graviton1066: As pointed out by many other commenters. Most of the debris is in really small pieces.
