Read this article in the Manchester Union Leader.
Fuck the AMC. May it rot.
First it builds a fancy hotel/convention center in Crawford Notch — something it would have been bitching to high heaven about and desperately filing lawsuit after lawsuit to stop if any organization other than itself had done it.
And now it’s whining about [...]
We stake out a Prius.
How annoying and ironic is it that a poster project for libertarianism — a private entity providing independent and well-regarded product reviews, ratings, and safety warnings — is run by the statist lunkheads at Consumers Union (publishers of Consumer Reports) who want a govt takeover of healthcare and have never met a regulation or proposed [...]
Where else could you get great lines like this?
“We’ve never seen hot dogs mixed with prostitution before,” Deputy Inspector Rick Capece said. “There are so many jokes, so little time.”
The Miami Dolphins want to hire Louisiana State Univ football coach Nick Saban. He’s interested in being hired by them.
However, the NFL says that teams are required to interview meaningful minority coaching candidates.
But those candidates are all on teams in playoff contention or who have clinched playoff spots.
And the NFL says that teams cannot [...]
An oldie but a goodie.
And given how FICAL acted, he should have kept every bit of it.
unless of course, the force….
Aw, hell, just read about it.
I guess we’ll have to start calling them “Quartics” instead of “Qubes”. For some reason, the Nasdaq 100 tracking stock is changing symbols from QQQ to QQQQ.
So true, so true…
“feed me” and “don’t bother me” probably covers it for cats.
well, there is the occasional “you are sufficiently acceptable to touch me.”
I’m pretty sure that [...]

From misc.legal.moderated:
…where someone’s phone number was incorrectly listed in a restaurant’s publicity (and the restaurant declined to pay the cost of updating the publicity, telling him to just give callers the correct number with no compensation)), he came up with an answer worded something like “The Department of Health does not allow us to serve [...]

(Context: the Patriots have a player named Randall Gay)
Heh, a friend of mine told me that he went to the NFL pro shop where you can custom make jerseys and tried to put in a Randall Gay jersey (His # and “GAY” on the back) and it won’t let him as it is an inappropriate [...]
Just heard on the radio that Dan Rather will be retiring in March.
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Should have happened years ago.
When can we get rid of Jennings?
Something that was never mentioned (that I recall) in any physics classes I took…
It turns out that Lorentz contraction (though not time dilation) can be predicted without recourse to special relativity. If you do enough horrible math, you can show that Maxwell’s Equations require that hunks o’ matter composed of particles which solely interact [...]
