"...the LHC may rip a hole in the fabric of the space-time continuum and so destroy the Earth..."

I love it. Can I push the button?

Beware of its ability to tear off the Statue of Liberty's head and throw it down the street at inebriated twentysomethings.

+Ramone: I made cookie [in severely broken English]...

Sorry Greenpeace: Your agenda is in another castle.

This is just one of the many reasons why they developed Mechagodzilla.

What's missing from the above picture? The touching phrase "Let me show you it." Bucking internet memes is a dangerous precedent.

Maybe it presented the wearers as desirable birth mothers, along the lines of a then-modern "fertility goddess". The statement that compares pregnancy to a from of disfigurement seems to contradict my theory, though.

I second the spoken word nod.
Add a pretentious beret-wearing bongo player, and you've got money in the bank.

Lovely. This looks so over-the-top. Can't wait for DVD.

I'm not so sure about this music, bro *raises left eyebrow*.

Blasphemers! How dare you question the healing holy power of...Godzilla.

Miga the Sea Bear is as cute as it gets.

Perhaps glitter is actually Unicorn excrement? After all, they are magical creatures and such.

The Unicorn is unable to save your tender eyes at this time, as it is too busy filming the sweeping epic "Two Unicorns, One Horn".

Wow. I love the look of this mod. But it looks devilishly heavy and a bit like some sort of wrist-mounted plasma blaster :o

Also, the Toronto mod features [stereotypically] friendlier and more polite aliens than the US variant.

This looks much less harsh than the 200 lashes that Saudi rape victim is set to receive. Here's the link for that story, in case anyone missed it.

What - there's no cuddling in the afterglow of interspecies sexual relations? Sheesh.

re #2:

Armed gangs have more personality.

*jaw drops*
I must alert Tony Stark!

"What truly makes us drunk...is Life!". Wow.

This goes well with the [slightly whimsical?] Charles Bronson "Mandom" aftershave ads from Japan.

and a more interesting but [sadly] shorter Mandom ad from later on.

I thought it was pretty funny, though I was hoping for some hot tazer action.

WWBFS?

One thing is for sure, if he had spoken some level of English, he'd still be alive today and we wouldn't be having this discussion. The most important phrase he could've learned was "please help me".

That sunrise is beautiful and eerie. Great picture set.

@Crash

In the case of someone who hasn't been properly punished for it, yes - it's impossible for them to learn from their mistakes. This jerk likely thinks he hasn't done anything wrong. He resigned to avoid being lynched. It's not like Joe at the local grocery store getting canned for dropping a case of glass-bottled product and saying "Ooops. My baad". People suffered and died because of Brown's negligence, complacent attitude, and overall incompetence.

As a side note, in Japan, a person can be arrested for professional negligence resulting in deaths and injuries. How high up the chain of command [as in elected officials and such] this law goes is anyone's guess.

Storm Worm, we don't talk anymore. You always get touchy and defensive when we try to discuss our give-and-take relationship. It's the uncomfortable silences that hurt the most. Where did the love go? *deep sigh*

This would explain why a $1,000 luxury bag doesn't necessarily outlast its $20 cousin.

It sounds to me as if Rowling has been struck in the face by the sobering realization that her money ticket has come and gone. Her postmortem discussion of this character reeks of a potential spin-off.

very simple, but verry cute!

I don't think it's because of homophobia; it's more likely because the mask is so damned ugly and the senator is such an enormous joke.

Wow...he's gay...who really cares? He's a fictional character in a book written at a twelfth-grade reading level. A person's - or in this case a character's - sexuality should not define them as a person or their role in life, especially when it becomes a stereotype for the sole purpose of sensationalism.

@NoneSuch

I'm sure that many of the above and below posters who find WOW players unproductive were referring to the self-styled hardcore WOW players, namely the ones who only leave their parent's basement for snacks and Bud Lite, as opposed to occasional players who only spend a few hours a day on the game.

@Clayton Counts

Don't forget his love for the word "Peninshula". This guy is pure comedy.

re: caipirina

They probably shouldn't be allowed to vote until they're able to snap back to reality. They may as well be on crack.

It's the 21st Century: do you know where your upper atmospheric energy shield is?

A few strings were likely pulled behind the scenes, not to mention some editing of that footage. It's a "reality" TV show after all.

At first glance at the title, my youthful exuberance got the better of me:

"Crashed drug plane pwned by US Government!?! YEAH! we're winning the war on drugs..."

Oh wait...

These things definitely wouldn't be safe during a hurricane or a tornado, though. Just look at what happens with mobile homes.

$8,000+, huh? I'll wait for the paperback, thank you very much.

Let me guess - this is an individual who neither knows how to wisely spend his money nor his time.

Forget Photoshop - I'd like to tattoo a permanent red bullseye on this creep's forehead.

The difference is that posting on Boing Boing is a priviledge, not a right. It's similar to your driver's license [minus the $15 fee and a terrible pic], as you can have your privileges revoked at any time, as the mods see fit. Only trolls need worry about that sort of thing happening to them, I assume?

So...

-Windows users follow a previously existing God?
-Mac users ignore God altogether?
-Linux users just create their own God?

Does it really hurt that much to simply make the following request?

"Excuse me, but it appears that my burger has been previously salted. Would it be okay to get a replacement burger?"

Ninjas carrying AK-47's? Umm...no.
Hanzō Hattori [not the one from Kill Bill] just rolled over in his grave.

If we had a better healthcare system here in the states - as in healthcare for everyone as opposed to healthcare for only those who can afford it - this wouldn't even be an issue. Focus should be on extending the lives of Americans as opposed to placing blame on whose fault it is for them being sick.

I've got two lines of thought on this:

1. Global warming could just be part of the natural cycle of environmental changes on this planet [a planet which we still know very little about despite scientific claims].

-and-

2. If global warming is man-made, who's willing to give up their plush, luxurious automobiles to save the polar bears? For that matter who's willing to halt production of products which contribute to *possible* man-made global warming elements through pollution and greenhouse gas? Products which would likely include plastics used in the construction of the computer you're reading this on.

Thinks: I haz a turrist in meh pantz. *mimics shocked cat face*

We're all turrists these days if we do something Big Brotha doesn't exactly like.

The DoJ need to ask one and only one question:
"What do the American people want done with this?".

That seems to be the absolute last question being asked by any branch of our lovely government these days.

Just a thought, but how about having to get the customer's approval before turning over their records?

A skilled pilot was flying a single engine plane and it went down. It happens once in a while.

Heck, it happens once a week in Florida. At least one such crash killed 5 family members in their home when the pilot lost control and crashed into their house.

Fit, healthy, and let's not forget incredibly svelte.
