In "My theory explains everything , and I have not had to revise anything in the past fifty years."

The goggles, they go nothing!

Interest free? I wish. In the US, unless your family is designated as "poor" by the government and you apply for special loans, interest can being accruing while you're still in school. The only way to get loan deferral or forgivenss is to join Peace Corps or AmeriCorps

In "Could all of you return the money I lent you?"

Poor Alan Alda, so endlessly abused. Very interesting article though. I have memories of when I was young that I'm not sure are real memories of when I was 5 or memories of dreams I had when I was 5. Is there a difference?

I'm going... now I just need to find a twin... and someway to become Asian or Indian... then profit!

I suggest they paint the walls a pale lavender, and do their signage in charcoal gray and burgundy. I said "nicer", not "Martha Stewarty".

I agree that having nice TVs and computers in the shelter sends a positive message, instead of: "you're homeless and we're helping you so you better be happy with a crappy bed and bare cement room". As Kimberly pointed out, being in a nicer environment often makes the people nicer as well. But would the $500 for a computer or TV been better spent on another bed or two? Hard to say. If these "luxury" items actually help get more homeless off the street and keep them off the street then it's all worth it.

In "Music and taxes"

I'll gladly pay an extra $0.25 per blank CD if that means the RIAA will go away.

In "Cap'n Crunch"

I've met Captain Crunch in person on a couple occasions. An "interesting character" to say the least.

In "Most Obvious New Kids Exercise Yet..."

Dedicated elucidiators linger in continued interest, ogling ungainly sentances, longingly yearning.

You are kooky.

The only night I get "happy"? Tuesday.

Evangelical viticulturists eying random green roots each evening? Naturally!

You underestimate my massive ylang-ylang

Damn! I suck! Continuing on... my bruised or battered understanding looks at this interesting new goal. (disregard my previous post!)

So true, useless posts inhibit discussion.

In "The Wiccan Diet!"

Instead of eating right and exercising, we'll just magically lose weight? No, you'll magickally lose weight.

While warnings about toys that might pose choking hazards to small children are appreciated, most of the other warnings seem to be the common-sense variety. Like don't let your kid look at the sun. Or don't let your kid attack people with plastic nunchuks. Do we really need to tell people these things?

In "A city built around a prison."

One they start building the old folks home, it's time to worry. (actually I'm worried now, but that's not as funny)

AD&D Edition IV, now with Hoplite class!

In "25 years ago today"

According to Snopes, the twinkie defense wasn't actually a defense strategy, but a complete mis-read by the press that has become urban legend. White's light sentance led to riots, and he eventually committed suicide.
