I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.

All of the photos I see of North Korea from a tourist POV looks so surreal.

I'm back! What'd I miss?

Trevor was all excited because he got clean undies, but the excitement was too much for him, and the undies are no longer clean.

Across forty years and longer, from the days of Barney Clark to now, the impediment to the production of a permanent artificial heart has been the reality that the best minds of medicine, science, and industry have been unable to discover or develop any material so durable that it survives long while repeating the vigorous function of the human heart. All alloys, synthetics, all materials present in the natural world, simply fail to remain viable for even relatively short periods as they simulate cardiac contractions, at least 100,000 per day. The motivating desire to prolong life has not conquered this challenge, nor has the impetus to reap the profits such a discovery would engender.

We are left then facing the truth that the greatest minds of the human race come up short in this imminently desirable goal, yet most scientists would have us believe ourselves enlightened to accept a theory that says nature by absolute chance, alone and unguided, hit upon a random combination of chemicals to craft cardiac cellular tissue so incredibly enduring that it all the geniuses of our species cannot best it.

Though it would horrify all my biology professors, I have to say there is something wrong somewhere in the scenario they cherish.

You wouldn't be here to question it if it hadn't.

Unless we were MADE to be here by an intelligence far greater than our own.

There is something about seeing Bane dressed in French aristocrats type clothing that makes me laugh.

Dear Toilet Designers,

Motion detection flushing is fine, but have a DAMN manual flush somewhere as backup!  No matter how sophisticated and/or state of the art you think your detector is, sooner or later, it's gonna either fail or take for-damn-ever to work and I REALLY don't want to have to stare at my own creation while I'm waving my hands around like a band conductor trying to get my stuff to go down.

I liked it better when reruns of MST3K were cut up into one hour weekly segments, & each segment was introduced by that creepy guy from World At War.

And they wonder why we turn on the hand drier just before we wipe our hands on our pants...

I don't really agree with that ER.  It took nature what.. MILLIONS (maybe even BILLIONS) of years before creatures with  four chambered hearts came around (cause keep in mind, lots of creatures have hearts, but only mammals and birds have ones with four chambers). I just doubled-checked, according to the info I have, life on earth come up around 3.8 billion years ago, by contrast birds and mammals have been around only 200-150 million years.  That's quite a gap of time it took for nature to evolve things.  Meanwhile, man's replicated a reasonable, if imperfect, facsimile in only forty years?

Frankly, I find that rather amazing!  Not to mention you kind of make it sound like people have just given up on whole "artificial hearts" thing.  Pretty sure they're still working on it.  I bet in a few decades they'll probably be able to custom clone brand new hearts for transplant.  (Hell, maybe even print them on 3D printers.)

I believe the male sperm and the female egg made animals/mammals/reptiles/etc.

My mother has been diagnosed with a rare form of dementia that basically makes her act like she's 6 years old.

Seriously, Rev? Well that's just terrible.
