Per the Russian school system the US rented Alaska. Not sure how that came about though.

Have to agree that over the last year what we have gotten from Alaska has not been worth the cost.

Spooon Tick didn't have a dog he had a Capybara named Speak.

Good to see it only took 4 post to get to a Tick reference.

My only problem with Gates being on the list is that Jobs is not. Sure Gates made a great deal in getting the core of what was later MS-DOS but to suggest that he had no talent is extremely wrong. Jobs has taken credit for many things in which he (ask Waz) nor Apple created on their own (first gui os - taken from Xerox).

Sure it's easy to bash Gates and MS but lists like this need to share the bashing.

Trees are wrong for it to be Vietnam. I think Quebec is defiantly more like. I does look and act like a North American Black bear.

As Hum hinted at and the article completely bypasses the process is EXTREMELY corrosive. We just do not currently have a material that we could build the reactor with that could withstand long term use.

Seems kind of strange that it appears that the cheaper the item the more food you got.

"Birdwell said it will take more than $1 million to fix the problem, including removal of the SETI software."

What problem did SETI cause that there is more to it then uninstalling it? I'm guessing it has more to do with the PCs that have not been replaced since 2000.

Say I bought my most recent car after taking one in for an oil change. Of course I could afford the new one.

I think Robin's Jewelers in the Philly region have had ones like this up for at least most of a year if not longer. At least this one she is not in a wedding dress.

US Awful - Have to use them for work as they are preferred client. My last adventure with them resulted in 3 changes of terminals, 2:45 min delay for first flight of the day, 1h 25mins on tarmac to leave, 1h 35mins in plane waiting for terminal at destination, lost luggage (took them over an hour to tell us that no luggage was put on the plane and then another for them to get paper work) and all of this for a 52 min flight.

What the real joy of this is that the 2 later flights both run by US Awful arrived before my flight did (remember mine was first of the day), both were less then half full and they got their luggage. My company got a 50% refund on the cost of the tickets for my suffering.

After I asked why they did not move us to one of the later flights after they realized that they were going to leave before our plane was ready was because our luggage would then be on the wrong plane. Never mind the fact that the luggage was never sent to the plane and actually took a flight 12 hours later (9 flights between mine and the one my luggage took).

Return flight was delayed 20 mins because the co-pilot was not there yet (never got a good reason for this) which caused a 40min wait to take off and a 55min wait for a terminal at my destination.

Think the person cheated with using a video game for True Neutral and a TV show for Lawful Good.

I agree that Superman is the most obvious Lawful Good but True Neutral in movies is much harder to find. I keep thinking that the two movie characters that make the most sense for True Neutral are the Predator and the Aliens.

Think the others are for the most part a good fit.

The value on the left is the number ordered and the value on the right is the total for the number ordered not the each price. So the 'la tache' was $5,000 each for a total of $15,000.

"The thinking is that the Red Sea will eventually pour into the new sea in a million years or so."

Think I'm going to old off on buying that future beach front property.

Bet there is some United manager somewhere being sedated right now after hearing whos baggage they had a hard time with.
