Why wouldn't it be sci-fi? In the early 19th century, Mary Shelley's Frankenstein helped define the form of the science fiction novel. Just because Young Frankenstein is a comedy at heart doesn't mean that it's not sci-fi as well.

New deficit reduction plan
Wouldn't want to be in some industries like the building industry. Imagine being a brick layer or bathroom tiler in your 60s. Or even a courier driver delivering parcels in your 60s. I think you'll die before you retire.

Just print more money to pay it back. Oh wait, you're already doing that. Never seen the US$ go down so much in the last 30 years. Great time for us to buy stuff online from the US.

So, Kaftan, exactly which channel in Sweden is showing this series? Pretty sure Kaftan watched it on Channel BT.

Went to Killa's today for their 30 cm (1 foot) wide burger. They serve it in a cake box. Still digesting it after an hour since I got home.- Movies you have seen recently
Piranha (2010). It was like one of those WTF movies. The underwater ballet scene was awesome.- The funny things thread Part 2
The Guy underneasth Devil's tail. He seems to be in an interesting position. Or I have my mind in the gutter again.- The funny things thread Part 2
While reading one of my Phantom comics, I came across this page. I feel sorry for poor Devil. edited for size.- Movies you have seen recently
Predators. Quite a good movie I thought.- Calling guard dog and others
Not really. What started out as a libertarian movement based on constitutionalist ideals is now being projected as a far right nutjob group through media manipulation. There's nothing 'projected' about people like Christine O'Donnell becoming endorsed nominees.- Calling guard dog and others
I see the tea party as the rights answer to the left-wing groups such as the various green/enviromental/animal/socialist/anti-war movements. It's only a natural progression as the right saw the left take more power through these groups.- What you did today
Just got back today from my ski trip with the gf to Queenstown. awesome stuff.- Movies you have seen recently
Prince of Persia. Never played the game so I don't know how accurate it was but I'm sure it probably had nothing to do with the game other than name only and the guy jumping all over the place. Also, Sherlock Holmes. Both movies weren't bad but they weren't exactly great either. Since I saw them on a plane and were free, I guess they were okay.- Discovery Channel hostage situation
Poor people are gonna multiply whether they have the means or not. Idiocracy at work.- Aaaand there goes the gulf of mexico
They should make these oil wells safer.- Create a manga avatar or yourself
I didn't know you were Obama.- You hurt cat? We kill you!
For some reason, I have a mental picture of you being a ginger now. In fact, that was the name of my cat. Similar to the one below. Unfortunately, he died. And no, we never put him in a wheelie bin.- You hurt cat? We kill you!
It was the home owners personal security camera.- Movies you have seen recently
I thought Extinction was the best out of the three which says a lot of what I thought about the previous two.- Movies you have seen recently
After Shock, based on the Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 that took the lives of 240,000 people. My girlfriend was in tears throughout a lot of the movie, especially near the end. She was practically bawling her eyes out. Was hard for me not to shed a few tears. Very moving. Don't know why imdb has the English name wrong. Here's a screen shot from the movie.- In Australia, the n-word is no longer a criminal offense.
I knew political correctness went too far with words when "Bah Bah Black Sheep" had to be edited for sensitivity purposes.- In Australia, the n-word is no longer a criminal offense.
I would like to remind everyone, that not so long ago, saying the words "God" or "Jesus" spoken out of biblical context was considered blasphemy and punishable by death. All Nationalities and countries have a slang name to describe them, what makes one more offensive than the other? They are called words. Does the term "black fella" make you cry and ashamed? How about "white fella"? "White bread"? "Trailor Trash?", "Bogan?" I don't agree with the findings that the words are not offensive, but agree with the findings that they are not offensive enough to be criminal. I personally think "verbal assault" is a joke. Forget racial motivations for a minute, but if I were to call you a wanker or the like, that can technically be classed as verbal assault. Does calling somebody a name that hurts their poor little feelings deserve a criminal case? Or even a civil case for that matter? Or do people just need to toughen up and stop being offended at everything?- Gamers fight back at robbers targeting PC Game cafe
Well what we've learned today is NEVER attempt to steal someone's Nintendo DS, you NEVER know what might happen.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb7CNfMs65c That guy at the counter took that shot to the jaw like nothing happened. probably used to taking a few back in school.- LOST season six
Just watched the Lost Epilogue. They explained the Dharma Food Drops, Polar Bears, Interrogation Room 23, and Walt was in it. Needed more time though. - Food
