What the hell? This is the second time my house is in a example picture using Google maps.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm apparently a chick with a bad haircut.

No, not the one that lives in the ocean.

One in Three Smokers Too Fucking Stupid To Realize Smoking Isn't Good For Their Pet

You mean two out of three, right?

patito · « **Reply #143 on:** February 12, 2009, 04:48:43 AM »

Nah, 2 out out 3 know it's bad but don't give a shit. 1 out of every 3 apparently didn't know.

Working theory on the biological factors that perpetuate poverty.

I mean, this really is a kind of a DURR NO REALLY sort of thing in general common-sensical terms, but these folks have gotten down and actually obtained biometric data to back this up.

that shouldn't stop you from going DURR NO REALLY because that is what people that read scientific news do every fucking time

Children with stressed lives, then, find it harder to learn. Put pejoratively, they are stupider. It is not surprising that they do less well at school, end up poor as adults and often visit the same circumstances on their own children.

This makes me more concerned about the local government's changes to the academic system.

Politicians are scrapping the academic test at age 11 that determines whether you get into a good state-funded secondary school or not, partially on the grounds that the rich kids tend to do better in school, so it's not fair on smart, hard-working poor kids. If this study is right then rich kids are just smarter, personal tutors or no.

Panda Bears are my favorite type of bears!

They're apart of the raccoon family, not the bear family.

*years later*

Turns out, Panda Bears are apart of the bear family, not the raccoon family.

Hello, my compatriot. Hello. Do you have desire to form multibillion dollar robotics corporation with express purpose of trolling American filmgoers?

I suppose it does beat molesting schoolgirls for living.

What? No it does not.

We fuck it, and do it anyway.

And of course, before anyone starts wondering why the military industrial complex is not there yet...

Can work in a load-carrying capacity without power. It would be a step up from having to use mules in the mountains of Afghanistan..

Also for reference, the traditional battlefield carrying capacity of a battlefield soldier/warrior throughout the ages has always been around the 50-lb mark. Anything more destroys the knees.

Despite the names, it actually seems pretty cool. I can't wait for them to make a similar robotic suit several stories tall with guns and a beam-sword.

robotics corporation... trolling American filmgoers... molesting schoolgirls for living.

Within time, both will be possible at once.

You know, I've seen that damn thing before, but not with the researcher in the beginning who's apparently fighting every urge to try and make out with it.

The Reg: Yorkshire man wakes up Irish after brain surgery. As in, starts talking with an Irish accent, even though he's not Irish and there's nobody Irish in his family, and has no recollection of this when it wears off.

Apparently there is a scientific basis for all those episodes of Flintstones where Fred gets hit in the head with a bowling ball and turns into somebody else!

(Also, read through to the end. The last line is the best part.)

Yeah, there's been some documentation of this in the last decade or so, whereas before we just figured they were being silly or crazy.

I don't think I got a single reference in that story.
