Commented on Two-time turd-spelunker caught peering up from the bottom of pit latrines again
If he was caught twice, how many times did he get away with it?! Some people just gravitate to the polar opposite of the socially acceptable, i.e. guys wearing earrings, eye liner, painting their nails, girls with massive tatoos, and...

Commented on Robot negotiates with mentally ill man who threatened White House (UPDATED)

Commented on Road-trip guided by coin-tosses and D4 rolls
Anon@#24: But- that has five sides (a four-sided pyramid also has a bottom). And with either four or five surfaces, you would never have a surface facing upward....

Commented on Road-trip guided by coin-tosses and D4 rolls
I'm still having trouble with the four-sided die. It is either a three-sided pyramid with a bottom surface (which wouldn't roll very well) or it's a cube that's missing two surfaces. For Anony@#1, I recommend you make a little spin-the-arrow...

Commented on You're weird in at least ten ways
I like Vidya108's theory that pubic hair is indicative of sexual maturity. Thank goodness that our species doesn't use the big, red swollen butt that some monkeys use to indicate fertility! Nosepicking? Basic grooming. The cat is on the couch...

Commented on Blog about bad and odd taxidermy
Gaucho, have a look at NoseHat's beaver. While I'm not a big fan of taxidermy, that's one fine looking rodent. Banana Dan got a pair of kittens (God knows why). He constantly pretended to be annoyed by them. He asked...

Commented on What is the meaning of this unusual tombstone?
Wizardo F. Plum, I am fascinated by your commentations! Your garbled explanations are incoherently amazing, but your utterly free-form usage of punctuation is simply astounding! Your lucubration makes so-called 'free spirits' seem like skeletons chained to a dungeon wall. This...

Commented on Michelangelo's The Torment of St. Anthony
Rich- go to a county fair and look at some of the works produced by kids. Some are quite amazing, especially the CGI graphics. I was sort of the darling of the art dept. in high school and college, but...

Commented on Bike seat sports a beard of bees
#37 asks "what kind of bike is that in the foreground?" Seems to be an electric bicycle. They've been cropping up a lot lately. Bees like a basket on their bicycles, but don't like the buzz of the electric motor-...

Commented on John Waters on his friendship with Manson Family murderer Leslie Van Houten
"...screws want easy, safe people to guard..." That, and when they're corrupt enough to smuggle in contraband, the drug cartel people are the ones they'll hook up with. The rapists and car thieves have little to offer....

Commented on Pranknet's Skype "phone assaults" detailed, head bully in charge lives with his mommy
Techno- I quite agree. Sometimes people need to sit and think about how they f'd up. I don't wish abuse on anyone, and certainly not anal rape. jail=ok. dropping the soap jokes=ok. anal rape / physical/emotional torment=not ok. Close enough....

Commented on What is the meaning of this unusual tombstone?
When confronted with something as confusing as this gravestone, maybe it's best we turn to the immortal words of Dr. Bronner: "Free speech is to mankind what air is to fire! Deny, delay, distort, ignore, suppress and in oblivion all...

Commented on Pranknet's Skype "phone assaults" detailed, head bully in charge lives with his mommy
Well done, Pixel. These very insecure people expect their peers to tell them how clever and funny they are, so when they're told what a jerk they are instead, they get despondent and hang trashbags over their windows. If I...
