Obama's response on the Kanye West thing, including audio of him calling Kanye a jackass.  Obama goes up several points in my book.

Volkswagen's 157 mpg concept car. They consider producing it in three years. It's really small though, but fits two adults (one in the front, one in the back). It's an interesting concept for a city car IMHO.

Interesting,  I wonder why they chose that arrangement of seats. Do you have some link?

Tamas, I'm watching Big Bang Theory from the start now, and I hate you and your avatar* more with each passing episode.

*But not Ira.  Ira, you are the man.

Why all the hate?

I honestly don't remember.  I think the line of reasoning was that you were debasing Leonard with your avatar.  Going to have to chalk that one up to beer and move on.

Leonard: "Howard's at the Mars Rover Lab, he says he is in trouble.  Defcon 5."

Sheldon: "Defcon 5?  Well there is no need to rush."

Leonard: "What?"

Sheldon: "Defcon 5 means no danger, Defcon 1 is a crisis."

Leonard: "How can 5 not be worse than 1?"

Raj: "Well Star Trek 5, worse than 1."

Sheldon: "Ok first of all that is a comparison of quality not intensity.  Secondly, Star Trek 1 is orders of magnitude worse than Star Trek 5."

Raj: "Are you joking?  Star Trek 5 is the standard against which all badness is measured!"

[Grey Fox]

I love that show.

[Tamas]

Yes it is awesome  My avatar shall stay until the next season's premier next monday.

To show what a huge geek I am I was so happy Sheldon finally said what all nerds think whenever they hear Defcon 5 misused in popular culture.

I received this interesting fact in an email today:

A little known fact....


The first testicular guard, referred to as the "Cup" was used in Hockey in 1874, and the first Helmet was used in 1974.


It took 100 years for men to realize that the brain is also important

[Josquius]

Because helmets in hockey are dumb. No one wears them.
Sounds like that thing that gets spread around about the Americans wanting football goalkeepers to wear helmets.

Not only am I way too tall, but do you seriously think someone of my educational background and cultural sophistication would stoop to walking around a party letting people dip their chips into salsa cups balanced on my sombrero?

You're always the first to cry about anti semitism but sure as hell don't mind dishing it out to other minorities that you clearly view as beneath you.

Pig!
