• Commented on Susie Bright: Rick Warren can either come out of his closet, or go take a hike
  As a liberal evangelical, I used to hold a tentative amount of respect for Warren. I was worried about his "mega-church" (those things scare me), I was unimpressed by The Purpose Driven Life, but I still held out hope for...

• Commented on Monkey jockeys riding dogs
  I dunno about this. Without doing any research to verify it, I'd guess monkeys of this size and dogs are of about equivalent intelligence. But we've bred dogs to put up with our crazy shit....
• Commented on Excavation of an ant colony
  *moment of silence for the late colony* Beautiful. Like excavating an alien brain....

• Commented on Genetic Programming: Evolution Of The Mona Lisa
  Whatever it may represent, evolution, ID, or door #3... we can still agree it's pretty cool, right?...
• Commented on Religion and nanotechnology
  Heruraha @21 Hi Heruraha, By context, it should have been clear I was only referring to the fact that Judyrey claimed that all "branches and denominations" of Christians believe this. I've never heard of a Christian group that does (of...
• Commented on Strong Bad channels LucasArts in very first "roomisodic" game
  Felt more like the SGI-era Sierra games to me....
• Commented on Religion and nanotechnology
  Judyrey @6: "That the Torah font letters represent the basic energy or pre-matter of the universe is a basic understanding held by all branches and denominations of Christians and Jews." Been a Christian my whole life and I've never heard...
• Commented on Kopbusters -- reality show that busts cops for conducting illegal drug raids
  I'm with Takuan @46. Let's hope for some imitators who can expose corruption while maintaining credibility. In the meantime, I'm just glad someone is doing this....
• Commented on Raymond Scott vinyl toy
  Does the drawing of Mr. Scott look like Tony Randall to anyone else?...
• Commented on Video: Real-life <em>Mario Kart</em>
  My half-remembered French skills tell me that the caption near the end reads, "It is in doing something that we become someone", or more literally, "It is in doing no-matter-what that we become no-matter-who."...
• Commented on Atheist sign at nativity scene
  I'm going to go on the record as a Christian who is in favour of this plaque. Why? Not because I agree with what was written on it (I don't). Not because it wasn't a slightly crass attempt at religion-baiting...
• Commented on Emily the Strange is a rip off of a 1978 book character
  Seems simple to me. He stole the original image for Emily and the caption. But he was a skateboard artist in 1991. Stealing and repurposing images and ideas was de rigeur in that culture at that time. Everything that has...
• Commented on Jack Imel plays "Pagan Love Song" on Lawrence Welk 1958
  Finally, someone plays that song the way the pagans intended... with tap dancing!...
• Commented on Your Virtual Girlfriend
  MDH @25 I suppose what I meant was that most definitions of porn I'm familiar with generally involve nudity. But I see your point--this is clearly wank material for the intended audience....
• Commented on Your Virtual Girlfriend
  Anyone else ever get the feeling that most of the best new technology is first used for porn? (Don't know if this qualifies as porn, but it's pretty twisted.)...
• Commented on Intentional action and Asperger Syndrome
  Regardless of the implications/questions surrounding this test, how awesome is the notion of an "experimental philosopher"?!...

  This is the greatest news I've gotten in months!! I whooped and ran around the room dancing when I first heard this!...

• Commented on Virtual actor looks eerily lifelike
  When I was watching, the only thing I could think was, "Still not out of the uncanny valley yet. Still looks weird around the mouth and eyes." Then they showed the real actress and all became clear... She actually looks...
• Commented on Dog cloner suspected to be kidnapper of Mormon missionary sex slave in 1978
  #12 and #18, I completely agree. I only skimmed the article, admittedly, but 'rape' in quotations jumped out at me. It makes some very unsavoury assumptions about being male to presume that men couldn't possibly turn down sex. Elements of...
