Was John Pemberton a seer?
Really, could you possibly imagine a better name for a drink than Coca-Cola in regard to marketing potential of China? They say Jules Verne nailed all those means of transport we use today several decades in advance but Pemberton is the real deal here. Coca-Cola. Brilliant.

Id like to question the random country chooser on the site.
I have got austria and italy more than average recently. Makes me wonder if the mods are rigging it so id leave... :P But really, for those of you familiar with the phenomenon, is the generator truly random like sites like random.org or is it pseudorandom? Does anyone know?

NFL Pick 'Em: Week 8
Inside the updated totals after Week 7 will be posted...as soon as I add them (or someone who already has it added up wants to post if, if they're faster.)

As we're at the half-way point of the season, lots of teams on bye and another week for blow-outs it seems. With the Packers on bye, who will dominate the weak...so--who'll win? PICK 'EM!

You know...I'm getting an idea here. Future Robot Overlords....need power...."Occupy" protests have a large number of rather useless human beings with time on their hands...

I say we make our initial peace offering to our FRO's and offer up our Less-Then-1%ers (becuase, let's be honest, the so-called 99%'s represent less than 1% of us...) as the initial battery-pods for them. Just keep supplying them with enough pot and booze to keep 'em docile and plug 'em in to the matrix...

@abge: You don't know what boobies are?
No wonder you are listening to tech podcasts.... ;)

Best podcast out there is ESPN's Football Today podcast :P

LOL

I smell some bans coming up.

What I meant was, how do farts and boobs (podcasts = audio only) equate to best podcast?
ulytau (541 D)
01 Nov 11 UTC
Presumably, anything worthy of the adjective best is filled with farts and boobs.
ulytau (541 D)

Which is self-evidently true.

strat, you gave yourself away to the lack of boobies by your battlestar galactica use of 'frak'.

And I just gave myself away for recognizing it. ;)
stratagos (3269 D(S))

I am married; I get boobies on demand.

Except when my wife and I are working.
Or my son is up
Or either of us is under the weather
Or I'm in the doghouse for some reason
Or I need to get up early
Or she has a run in the morning
Or Dexter is ON
THEREFORE, I get boobies.... once in a blue moon.

And, guys, I shot an email off to the mod box

Snow Storm
How did people fair in the snow storm? We lost power for about 24 hours. Roads are still pretty cluttered with trees and most of the surrounding towns (that don't get power from the University) are still out of power.

Cancelling the Masters
Unless someone has talked to TrustMe or compiled a list on their own and knows what's needed, I plan on cancelling any paused Masters game this Thursday. I'm not really willing to reverse engineer each game to figure out what he was planning. It's been left in the fridge too long, time to throw it out.

Jesus=Socialist?
Someone I happen to see nearly everyday insists that Jesus was a socialist and/or advocated the philosophical and moral grounds/justifications for instituting socialism. I oppose socialism, but am not particularly religious, and thus not really angered by this statement; nevertheless, many Christians I know have been angered by this claim. Discussion/debate?

Six of the Best
Politicians get a lot of bad press in the modern age, and sadly a lot of it is deserved. The vast majority can be safely ignored without any risk of missing anything remotely interesting or useful to our lives. But in the sea of mediocrity float a few stars, a small number of voices that are worth noting. My question is: which politicians still have the power to make you stop and listen? Lets see a list of six of your best!
