• Commented on Alternate Star Trek pilot to be released
  That's odd, I've actually seen that intro before, I think on a tape of previews/bloopers. I guess it was a bootleg. It was in a lot better condition than this one, though!...
• Commented on An evening of confusion with Dell customer service
  Dell is exceptionally terrible, no doubt about it. I've been calling catalogs to get my family off their mailing lists to cut down on junk mail, and it's been very effective with every company except Dell. I've called them a...
• Commented on Inebriated woman falls in front of oncoming train
  I find it puzzling that out of all those people, nobody noticed her swaying and stumbling her way over to the tracks in the first place and tried to direct her away. They obviously cared about her and didn't want...
• Commented on Hallowe'en is safe, your kids are safe, the only scary thing is the warnings
  I can understand where you're coming from, and I agree partially- in normal circumstances, giving out candy is what adults should do, if only because if they don't, there's no candy for the kids. However, I live in a condo....
• Commented on Hallowe'en is safe, your kids are safe, the only scary thing is the warnings
  It's never too late to trick-or-treat! I tried last year for the first time in over a decade (I'm in my 20's) and people were surprisingly friendly about it. You just need to be in the right neighborhood- say, a...
• Commented on Banned Books week window display returns!
  Zikman- So you're a zombie?...
• Commented on French fry coated hot dog on a stick
  Looks way better than that nasty corn batter stuff....
• Commented on Here Is Where: A Bevy of Alternate-History Plot Bunnies
  I was just reading about alternate-history Star Wars comics on Wookieepedia. Apparently if C-3PO had had a loose screw in his neck, Darth Vader would have reformed and dressed in all-white armor. Seriously, not making this up....
• Commented on Epic Christian painting of historical figures and "lefty" archetypes
  I like how somehow the teacher is portrayed as vital to the future of America, but the professor is evil. Apparently education is very important, until you get educated enough to question the existence of God....
• Commented on Crazy customer flashes gun at Apple store
  I wonder if this is the same guy they interviewed about the Max Headroom video pirate incident in 1987. "I got so mad, I wanted to bust the TV set. I really did."...
• Commented on Worst. Doorknob. Ever.
  I'm confused at what I'm seeing here. Is this a doorknob that extends so far that it gets jammed on the doorframe and prevents you from actually opening the door? Or is it a doorknob made from real, hollow, easily-shattered...
• Commented on Purported PS3 ad sports Nazi imagery
  I miss ads that just told you why you should spend your hard-earned money on a product and why it was better than the competition- you know, the sort of ads that haven't been seen since the 1940s....
• Commented on HOWTO make a Bioshock Big Daddy costume
  Coaxial- I can't speak for others, but for me the appeal in cosplay lies in seeing something or someone familiar that had previously only existed in fiction suddenly being right there in front of you, sort of "translated" into reality....
• Commented on Unusual police sketch
  Wow, the Submariner has really let himself go....
• Commented on Videos from an animal's perspective
  Scorpions are one of the few animals that really, genuinely creep me out... but after watching this, I have to admit that becoming really tiny and riding one as though it were a horse would be totally awesome....
• Commented on Father blames others for his own misinterpretation of candy wrappers as "pornographic"
  Misinterpretation? If they're not having sex, what the hell ARE they doing? What I don't understand is why Mr. Simpkins thinks this is something to be upset about....
• Commented on "Twist it, roll it, fold it, soak it." *UPDATED*
  I bought one of these, and like many have said, it's horrible. Getting it to register when you hit a key is always chancy- unless you hit the key dead center, it might just flop to the side and not...
• Commented on What's So "Smart" About An Automated Kitchen?
  I actually kind of like the dark wood. But ugh, all that yellow... and the tan diamond floor... and why is that central island covered in powdered sugar??...
• Commented on Bangkok's tallest building will add "pixels" to the cityscape
  It doesn't look all that impressive from a distance, but I think the up close shot is beautiful. Looks like something from an old sci-fi magazine....
• Commented on Pranknet's Skype "phone assaults" detailed, head bully in charge lives with his mommy
  I play pranks on random people sometimes, but they never result in anything inconveniencing, let alone damaging. It's really not a prank if someone gets hurt. Unfortunately, a lot of pranksters seem to think it's not a prank UNLESS someone...
• Commented on The Book vs. The Kindle: funny videos about the Kindle's user rights shortcomings.
  BookGuy- Exactly. $80 for only about 10 books? And in cash, no less? Used bookstores where I live will only give credit towards other used books....
• Commented on Slap on the wrist for cop who assaulted paramedic
  I'm surprised he got even that, if indeed he actually got suspended and they didn't just say he did....
• Commented on Baby pictures in lost wallets increase the chance they will be returned
  Snig, I can see how more people returning wallets than they expected can be seen as "goodness of humanity", but I find this story more disturbing than heartwarming. The message seems to be that people dehumanize people who don't breed....
• Commented on Guess which one is the robot?
  Left. Weird expression, oddly thick eyelashes, lips strangely open, glassy eyes, skin looks weird around the eyes and also doesn't have any kind of natural blemishes like the freckles the woman on the right has. It seems pretty obvious to...
• Commented on Legs
  Looks like the Cybermen are back again....
• Commented on Terrific review of the execrable Transformers movie
  If anyone goes to see a movie they know was directed by Michael Bay, they really deserve what they get at this point. Still, he's not as bad as Uwe Boll, whose abysmal movies get written off his taxes if...
• Commented on A step-by-step guide to cosplay the right (Japanese) way
  "The right way"? How exactly do you cosplay WITHOUT choosing a character, buying parts, making a costume and trying it on?...
• Commented on Video of people watching porn
  Who knew zombies were constantly aroused?...
• Commented on PETA pushes to halt Seattle fish mongers from tossing fish
  Pick your battles, PETA. How about doing something to support sustainable fishing and lowering bycatch, instead of trying to ban something that hurts literally nobody, including even the already-dead fish being tossed around?...
• Commented on Delving into the psyche of men who buy exfoliant advertised for use after mother-daughter threeways
  Anyone who buys a product for reasons other than quality, utility, affordability, and personal taste is a tool. Coca-Cola is just brown sugar water. Mentos is just mint candy. This Axe Detailer is just a deluxe mesh sponge thing. It's...
