Failure to pay your monthy credit balance for Insert Subject Purchase Item will result in an unsatisfactory mark on your personal credit, followed by death.

Any negative mark on your credit rating is followed by death.

Anyway, I learned that Tom Kenny used to voice Spyro (not that surprising), and that Spyro's current voice actor is Elijah Wood (which is incredibly surprising).

Also that Brad Garrett played the Big Dog in 2 Stupid Dogs, which isn't that surprising in hindsight.

You sometimes find surprising VA talent in otherwise boring stars.
See Mark Hamill and Timberlake doing a disturbingly "good" Boo Boo (from the trailers anyhow).

That possibly "the most brilliant Ph.D. thesis ever written in astronomy", resulting in one of the most crucial discoveries ever to be made in that field was written by a woman whose name is all but buried.

This woman's work is the reason we know what the universe is made of.

I have an eye appointment at a place called $18 Eyeglass Place. You wouldn't imagine how long it took me to find where this place is because I didn't believe that it was fucking called the $18 Eyeglass Place.

Good buddy of mine has had a girlfriend for a few months now. The reason I've not met her is because he's scared of her leaving him for me

This bullshit has gone on long enough. Since they are glued at the hip I haven't seen my buddy in ages now.

Büge · « **Reply #1847 on:** September 03, 2011, 05:45:22 PM »

It's a legitimate concern, Lottel.

Silversong · « **Reply #1848 on:** September 04, 2011, 11:25:19 AM »

Lottel, maybe you can meet her if you wear a mask and a cowled robe the entire time. If so get pics.

I learned today that there is such a thing as a "Justin Bieber Singing Toothbrush" and this probably means someone has bought one. D:

Ted Belmont · « **Reply #1849 on:** September 04, 2011, 12:29:06 PM »

Oh, we were only supposed to buy one?

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joshua_Blahyi

Blahyi got his nickname, "General Butt Naked", from his nakedness which was supposedly demanded by the Devil. He claimed to a South African Star reporter that he "met Satan regularly and talked to him" and that from the age of 11 to 25 he took part in monthly human sacrifices.

Today I learned about Surf The Channel

Hot damn! Why did no one ever mention this site before?

Kayma · « **Reply #1852 on:** September 04, 2011, 09:39:41 PM »

Fact: Surf the Channel is the only reason I made it through my help desk days.

So far today, I have learned about Dynamic Range Compression.

Uh, the scientific name for pineapple is also ananas in english, the actual regular spanish for pineapple is piña. if that's what that image is getting at anyway.

Mongrel · « **Reply #1856 on:** September 05, 2011, 09:30:53 AM »

NEITHER PINE, NOR APPLE.

I also learned just how odd Freddie Mercury's speaking voice was.

Elric teamed up with Conan in the '70's-era Thomas/Smith comics.

They've been collected by Dark Horse but I hear it's one of those horrible recolor jobs that sticks a fucking Photoshop gradient on every panel.

My mom is seriously looking at puppies again.
