Hrm, no edit? That last one should be:

We made a new site
We wanted it 2.0
So we used Georgia

The syllable count is important!

We have a new site
We made it 2.0
By using Georgia

The bane of the web
As bad as a spinning skull
Just say no to Times

Money and finance
Or conveying importance
Time to use Trajan

Also, second those who prefer Balkan Beat Box. For more stuff in that sonic vein, check out rai music, which is always played before Gogol Bordello shows. The GB frontman, Eugene Hutz, is well-known in NYC for his DJ activities featuring this music. Other bands you should check out are Taraf de Haidouks, and Farmer's Market - especially Farmer's Market!

"Hm. you're only about six or seven months behind everyone else on this one."

6 or 7 months?

Try 6 years.

Niven is an obvious racist. Witness the horrible caricatures of black people in Lucifer's Hammer.

Kubrick was a pimp who researched his nuts off for every movie he made. They totally blew it on 2001.

Pointing out his immunity to recoil is perfectly valid.

"Police who use Tasers as a go-to method for calming people down need to be fired. Period."

I agree 100%. Every RCMP officer on the scene in this incident should be fired.

Interesting discussion. I think Garrett makes some good points about what watching this video is going to inspire people to do, if anything. I clicked on the link and watched a few seconds of the clip, and then decided that I really didn't want to see what happened. Reading the news reports was upsetting enough. That poor man, and his poor mother - what a heartbreaking story.

I find it more than a little depressing that anyone is defending the police. This story made me feel physically ill. If only ONE of the worthless automatons had listened to the mother this horrible tragedy might have been averted. What a waste, and shame on anyone for defending the police state mentality that resulted in this needless death.

I use one of these daily. You can't beat the coffee this thing makes, and it's kind of amazing it takes less than 2 minutes, start to finish.
