Hey, if a trial-court judge can use the assistance of invisible elves named after popular vampires to dispatch criticizers, then who am I to argue?

Something tells me this survey didn't account for the full spectrum of personal superstitions/mythologies most people construct for themselves. This is America, baby. We believe in the triumph of individual superstition. Four leaf clovers? Who's that coherent nowadays, anyway?

Nothing wrong with a little levitation. But this guy's setup is HORRIBLE. I mean, you can see the platform, it's over a rug, and he's using a support stick.

I like the "David Blaine" freeform levitation illusion. You see them rise, no visible source of support, and it's done anywhere. I'll be damned if I can figure out how they do this.

I grew up on a farm, and grow some of my own food now, so I'm pretty close to seeing things from both sides here.

I think one thing many people can forget about is that farming now has become a very industrialized practice. Of course there's always been farm equipment, but what we have nowadays is a smaller number of large farms mass-producing food. So claiming that farmers are somehow more noble by growing food seems a little off. Because the farmers we probably get most of our food from nowadays wouldn't know what to do without their equipment. Lots of industries get involved getting us our high fructose corn syrup! Not to mention the shipping companies that make it possible for me to get cheap food from across the friggin' country, or world.

Oh, and I can think of one issue WOW-players will unite over. Taxation of virtual property. I know they're just toying with the idea, but didn't the IRS start looking into doing that not too long ago?

"Yeah, I beat Al'Gromnar the All Devouring, and took his greatsword Lifecleaver."
"Sweet dude!"
"No man...I pay more in taxes now than subscription fees."

Is that Bjork? It explains so much...
