I'm no expert but be careful with biodegradable plastics. Not all of them are really biodegradable, they just fall apart in very tiny particles so that to the human eye it looks like it's gone but it's just very tiny particles of plastic.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Not that there's anything wrong with lawyers. They are just the logical result of a competitive world. It's a jungle out there, it's just that our fights have moved to the courtroom.

In some alternative universe EVERYBODY is a lawyer.

>> Trying to profit from illness is truly disgusting.

On the one hand it is, on the other hand they don't make wheelchairs for free either.

Still, this is "just" a font. Personally I would not want to make a profit from it. What I'm wondering is this: when the creator started on this project, did he want to help people or did he just want to make money?

Holy Mozes. The makers say walking the whole map takes about 12 hours!

Of course now I notice that the rubber band was in the original article. UNDO button! ;)

Copy pasted from around the net:

- Crocodile tears: crocodiles can't chew, so they are forced to rip their food into chunks and swallow them whole. As luck would have it, the glands that keep their eyes moist are right near their throats, so their eating habits actually force tears into their eyes.

- The muscles that close the jaw can exert literally tons of pressure, but muscles for opening the jaw are weak, and an alligator’s jaw can be held closed with a thick rubber band. This fact is skillfully exploited during most alligator wrestling shows.

The ends do not justify the means.

Stop your warmongering Phil.

OK. And trolls are the worst that happened to the internet. ;)

>> I totally buy that he was out to disorient the audience.

I Second that. Read up on Kubrick and how obsessively he prepared his movies. He would not make such mistakes, it's just not possible.

@ Ryan S: What you got against me?

Found it! http://itre.cis.upenn.edu/~myl/languagelog/archives/004997.html

I would have misspelled "comments" just to see what would happen. ;) (Though I think nobody would have fallen for it here.)

This reminded me of: http://xkcd.com/326/

Where the author originally misspelled "foreign". (Which he unfortunately corrected later on.)

The media tend to highlight the negatives (as usual), but these are greatly outweighed by the positives.

After thinking about it for a while I have come to the conclusion that the internet is probably the best thing that ever happened to humankind.

>> I am not for getting rid of digitally altered images, I am for people being smart enough to know the difference.

And how the f**k are we supposed to know the difference?
Sorry but I find your statement pretty useless.

How about being for adding a tag to every digitally altered image indicating it has been digitally altered?
At least that is saying something useful.
