"So long screwy, see ya in Saint Louie." is actually quite poetically beautiful.

@#30, Spokehedz,
Vigilantism only works in Gotham city. :]

No matter what the intentions are, no one is above the just laws. I'm still for the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing.

@#4, Jardine--
whoa, whoa, whoa-- you actually talk to said people? That's always interested me about small towns, is there really that level of familiarity? I mean, I can understand being chummy with the neighbors, but everyone in the small town? I think that only happens in movies, tv, and William Faulkner novels.

"Probably", "hopefully", and "unlikely"...
But wouldn't be funny if the world really did end when they started cranking out collisions at CERN?
It wouldn't end right away would it? I would love to study the phenomena of areas being dragged in, gravity collapses and etc. Sick, yes, but still fascinating.

His barf is worse than his bite.

I'd have to echo #5, JKLM,
I fail to see anything beyond a psuedo 3 dimensions on a 2 dimensional surface. Since it's an animation, and I'm perceiving it in reality, there's a total of 4 dimensions.
Okay, 4 dimensions, check.
Where are the total six?
Think of this way, where every intersection meets, there's a vertex, and this animation is just a tumbling manifold of vertexes and lines of a psuedo 3d space. One can imagine the x, y, and z coordinates for the vertexes so how can more dimensions include more information?

The film "Mitt liv som hund" had some great moments of speculation on Laika.
It's the only thing worthwhile from the movie.

I, like the majority of Ohio, refer to the beverage as "pop," not soda.

I'd have to confirm Razordu30's usage map is accurate.

Makes me wonder what the "other" category comprises of. "Sooder," "Sody Pop," "Fizzy Drink"?

No, no, no. You're all misinterpreting the Egyptian cartouche-- it's "Taum Ra Bir Rey"
This red-jumpsuit god has battling the "Ant Horde" for centuries according to legend.
It's too bad that Houston is now caught in between, what with all the battle-axes and all...

@ #40
Be careful to how the pendulum swings, Brunomiguel, do you really want to make large groups of irrational people angry and suppressed?

As unfortunate as it is, humanity will always have tinges of superstition and irrational fears to contend with, and thus, there'll always be some form of religion for those who need it.

#21 (Syncrotic) Is absolutely correct. Couldn't have said it better.

To add, perhaps for a wide variety of organizations there should be a set of "common sense guidelines" and a booklet of examples for situations in which to exercise it. I'm kidding of course... I hope they really haven't implemented such a farce.

I've never heard of "hard lemonade" until this story either. What's next, White Russian Yoo Hoo? Or Spiked Hawaiian Punch?

Q: What is the proper name for us who read boingboing?

A: Internet Waifs?
(I like Antinous suggestion better though)

As for being reader of boingboing, a book that I thought was "life changing":

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand

@#78 (UBERCHET)
Yeah, the modern Bomberman is smooth and white:
http://www.dsfanboy.com/media/2006/05/bomberman.JPG

The #19 in the picture is also symmetrically opposite to #22 megaman-- and since there are similar pairings throughout the design, I can only assume #19 is Bomberman, another video game robot character.

Anyway,
I think STEENKINBADGERS is right about #36.

#19 is Bomberman!
I'm sure of it... the stretched oval eyes, the rounded pill shaped head with a squat body. Plus, my suspicions were confirmed by his origin:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman
Essentially, any Bomberman who makes it to the surface from the underground factory is granted a wish, and the protagonist wants to use the wish to become a human.

@#19 (naltrexone)
I think 49. is Voltron, definitely not a Gundam.

And I agree with #11 (angrypaladin), I was surprised by the lack of a megadeus!

Although a few references are left out (where's the Metal Gear?) I think they covered a good majority.

@ #5
Although I would agree this staircase is not avant garde, I would argue that modernism isn't necessarily dead. Sure, postmodernism is in full swing, but it doesn't exist without the reactionary basis to modernism (i.e. classicism, ideals, united narratives). Future historians will refer postmodernism as a mutation, or an evaluation of modernistic concepts-- not a separately defined era. Because, to delineate different eras is a form of progress-- hence modernism's continued existence.

Anyway, in short, this staircase violates safety standards. :]
