Out of all of the things I said, I find it amusing that that little piece of trivia made it in there.

"I'm sure you're all sitting around watching the footage of the Mars landers get torn apart by Martians>"

"Most people think that the separation of church and state means that religion should not enter into the government. This is not true. It was originally intended to keep the government out of the church." -- Madeline Albright on The Colbert Report (Going from memory, so the wording may be off, but the idea is the same.)

Dammit, I hate it when I click the wrong "reply" link out of the fucking fifty that's on here. This mean to go under the original post, but I'm not going to fuck with the HTML again to fix it.

I am so mad they used that for Transformers. I thought that would have made a great movie all unto itself, but no, they had to ruin a whole great idea on an intro for a damn Transformers movie :P

Teen girl: Oh! So if I punch a cow, it can't feel it?

Given what she probably meant, and depending on how hard she punches, this is, actually, probably accurate.

(I'm assuming she actually meant "can't feel it in the same way a human would." A human punching a cow at the same force they'd use when play-punching a human would probably feel like a fly landing on a cow.)

Some of these are definitely mock_the_stupid material. But don't take my word for it, everything I submit there gets rejected.

OK, I just very nearly sprayed coffee all over my keyboard.

As for that first bit, that pretty much applies to all of Rhode Island. If you aren't doing twice the speed limit at all times, you are in serious danger of getting run off the road, flipped off, screamed at, tailgated, and cursed to the depths of hell.
