• Commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
  The only reason to use an alligator is clearly an attempted evasion of any association with any human creed. Only people who've sucked on bongs too long turn green, and no-one sympathises with them. So it's actively recognising and isolating...
• Commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
  ofgs. Disney, for better or worse, has consistently pumped out the highest quality animations out there, bar Pixar. No, they're not great, or appropriate, or desirable - but, my friends, they have the field. Does anyone actually imagine that Disney...
• Commented on Presto, alakazam! "Official CIA Manual of Trickery and Deception" magically re-appears
  Isn't it trickery and deception to say there was a book about trickery and deception? I mean, aren't the C.I.A. trickeption and decepery? I don't believe a word they didn't say. Just remember to forget. Or, more usefully, forget to...
• Commented on Chickens terrified of dried sunflower head
  Looks like the boots of the famed Ely the Louisiana butcher. Famed for his extremely bad eyesight, couldn't tell a turkey from a chicken. And we're that close to Thanksgiving....
• Commented on Matt Logue's "Empty Los Angeles" photography book
  I love this - it demonstrates that it's people, not construction, that makes cities messy....
• Commented on Britain's new Internet law -- as bad as everyone's been saying, and worse. Much, much worse.
  Militia ... this would be like the car-clamping firms! Mandelson's questions ... "why am I so wonderful?" We need to embarrass and shame the people who've put this bill into motion. This is a waste of valuable parliamentary time, and...
• Commented on Invasive Slugs Run Amok in Canada (Relatively Speaking)
  You have to have quite a deep pail to drown the bigger slugs. They can streeeetch out to 15cm or so, the big boys, and climb out of jars. Also, out of the 6 species in my garden, only 2...
• Commented on Lou Jing, half black Chinese girl, sparks race debate in China
  Chinese people are so funny. For such communist people, they're very conservative. It's true - most racist bunch on the planet. It's actually very surprising how little known this is, given the strength of their sentiment. However - it seems...
• Commented on An evening of confusion with Dell customer service
  http://www.radley.co.uk/Search.aspx?SearchKeyword=laptop Ouch - some people here are really mad. I never get that mad....
• Commented on An evening of confusion with Dell customer service
  I have a lovely Apple. They're very sweet people. I hate Dell, with a vengeance. They sold my wife a Vista laptop that couldn't function if you gave it a lollipop - inadequate on-board memory to run Vista. They join...
• Commented on DC sniper to die today
  I wouldn't condescend to respond to your piffling nonsense, but I am a-mused, and laugh at you derisively. What you've done is bypass the main point of my commentary, and attempted to find a soft underbelly to thrust the wilting...
• Commented on TSA doesn't understand what "random" means
  All this flows back to the notion that terrorists really want to blow up a plane - hearkening back to the 70's when (I can't remember who) blew up planes in the desert - very spectacular. Or the Lockerbie tragedy,...
• Commented on Glittergeddon!
  @23 please remember the immense amounts of money even minor celebrities make for simple acts like having a picture published. I really don't feel too sorry for them....
• Commented on Glittergeddon!
  A little abstruse, but I get it, and I do like it. I have a similar position on these people as I do on DRM - don't participate! So I agree, the very mention of them raises their status. The...
• Commented on DC sniper to die today
  Talking of religion - one of the victim's relatives said: "Meyers said he had forgiven Muhammad for two reasons: "One is that God calls for me to do that in the Bible and the second thing is related to that....
• Commented on DC sniper to die today
  What about the many, many cases where the case has been proved wrong, and 'beyond reasonable doubt' morphs post-mortem to hmmm ... now THAT's a surprise! Another British film on this - 40's or 50's - "Let Him Have It"...

• Commented on Glittergeddon!
  Daedalus - it's because you don't have separationofchurchandstate. So good luck to you....
• Commented on Glittergeddon!
  "Celebrity sex offender" - thanks for coining the most offensive term of the century. Nice one Rob. Nothing like diluting the severity of a crime and confusing the allegiances of a population. "Celebrity lynch killer" "Celebrity parent killer" "Celebrity liver...
• Commented on DC sniper to die today
  Errr ... read the first few, stopped. In my view, you're either against the death penalty or not. Doesn't matter who's being done in, or what they did - but if it does to you, you're suffering from a shallow...
• Commented on TSA doesn't understand what "random" means
  What's really lacking is brwainz. This is important: Next time, observe how many oriental women are selected. Particularly at Heathrow, they suffer from over-selection syndrome - because they are much more likely to quietly comply with the search procedure, allowing...
• Commented on 20-year old Iraqi woman dies; father ran her over for being too Westernized
  This all used to happen so recently in one guise or another in at least AngloSaxon cultures - but we have certainly advanced beyond it. It's the difference between living in the village and living in the town. The villagers...

• Commented on Brit business secretary promises to punish accused file-sharers' families with Internet disconnection by 2011
  You've got read the wiki entry on the Prince of Darkness: This guy isn't so much dirty as covered in soot from head to toe! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Mandelson...
• Commented on Do chimps grieve?
  Smart. But given that our responses to other people are simply responses to our perception of their emotions, things get murky. Alright - so add the question to your child "is it make believe?" They'll defend their loved dog's emotions...
• Commented on Do chimps grieve?
  Here's a neat test: can your children detect or perceive emotions in animals? If so, wouldn't you agree animals have emotions? Defining emotion (ha!) - all animals react with fear once they know that being hit with a stick hurts...
• Commented on Do chimps grieve?
  I love some of the commentary - here's a nice switch: Do chimps grieve like us, or do we grieve like chimps? Let's just keep an eye on those cultural habits, DNA percentages and derivations, eh. I put man's inhumane...
• Commented on Another Hardcore Moment from Nature
  I enjoy eating lamb for so many reasons, one of them being it means they don't have to become a sheep. Naughty bird. Naughty, naughty bird. Oh well, poor sheep....
• Commented on Steering wheel tray
  Modusoperandi - full congrats, I've been looking for years to re-purpose the road to good intentions in an amusing way, and you've cracked it! I look forward to seeing this featuring in a Darwin award....
