10 Most Disturbing Animals on Earth -- (link) - Marcel Jan 6, 08:41 3
- the giant isopod looks like a big flea. ick. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 09:05
- That's unfair to the aye-aye. They obviously woke him up out of bed and took a picture of him before he even had a chance to brush his hair. - Loyola Jan 6, 08:47
- *takes notes* - dignan SI Jan 6, 08:44
interview with producer of NCIS...the show has almost 20 million viewers now... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 6, 08:41
Speaking of Mac rumors... Hormone inbalance? Heck, if Barry Bonds was taking steroids, he had a hormone inbalance. What does it really mean? -- (link) - Mop Jan 6, 08:39 16
- as an aside, I had no idea he was Syrian until this week. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:44 1
  - I had no idea. You lie! -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 08:45
- He had pancreatic cancer - the pancreas secretes hormones and could be going haywire now. It could be as simple as that -- nm - decline Jan 6, 08:43
- your hatey boner for this is weird -- nm - pigby Jan 6, 08:42 1
  - I dislike corporate misinformation just as much as I dislike Wall Street sheep. "Hormone inbalance? That's good news, right? BUY!" -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 08:46
- hasn't jobs been fighting - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:40 5
  - Pancreatic cancer. Nasty stuff (SELL!), although his version was not so nasty (BUY!) although a hormone imbalance could indicate a recurrence (SELL!) - Mop Jan 6, 08:44 1
    - His only regret is that he has boneitis. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:47
  - smething like 5 years ago he had pancreatic cancer, yes -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:43 2
    - isn't it unusual to surive that type of cancer? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:45 1
      - Yes, quite. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:46
- Indeed. It's a symptom, not a diagnosis. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:40 4
  - it is? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:41 3
    - It's like saying "Your car won't start because it's making stuttering noises." :) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:43 2
      - my diagnosis is "your insulin is too high." explain that. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:44 1
        
        what I mean is, a diagnosis is "your solenoid is shot", not "your car won't start". -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:46
If I were my stomach, this report would be the Norwalk virus. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:39 6
- cleans the place out with extreme prejudice? -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:42
- Your stomach lacks the fortitude to survive in this place. Suck it up! -- nm - JackDawson SI Jan 6, 08:39 4
  - for me the SI wrapped to the next line and at first I was surprised that he answered one of her posts -- nm - zork Jan 6, 08:41 2
    - I still have no clue what his deal is. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:42 1
      - You are a bitch. The appropriate reply to your post was, "*withering glance* Well, that was helpful." -- nm - Rorschach: 03/06/09 Jan 6, 08:44
  - that's an unfortunately choice of words, given the analogy. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:40
East coast AT&T data network outage. Is your iPhone not talking to the Internets? -- (link) - Mop Jan 6, 08:36 5
- a faculty member here was*just* showing me her new iphone and the network was working fine.....nm - x Jan 6, 08:39 2
  - Damn you, Engadget! DAMN YOU TO HELL!!! -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 08:40
  - is that a euphemism? -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:39
- apple broke the internet? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:37 1
  - macrumorslive.com certainly seems broke -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 08:37
All morning long my right eyelid has been twitching. Bothersome. But I did get a few numbers. - WinkyAgnda Jan 6, 08:31
[deleted] 37
- Can't you deny any senator a seat for any reason? Wasn't that basically the post-Civil War agrument? -- nm - Mop Jan 6, 08:38 1
  - [deleted]
- do they have reasons for not liking him other than the whole blago situation? -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:35 10
  - isn't that plenty? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:36 9
    - Yes and no. I actually feel bad for Burris. He's had a very clean record. I think he's sort of a lightweight, but is tainted for something he had - pmb Jan 6, 08:41 3
      - He doesn't have to take the appointment. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:43 1
        
        In some ways I agree. There is an element of blind ambition here from Burris. He has tried for higher office several times and lost. He has mostly - pmb Jan 6, 09:00
      - ah, thanks. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:43
    - I'm never really a fan of guilt by association. I also haven't been following this, so I have no idea if there's any problem with the actual man. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:39 4
      - theoretically he paid for the seat. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:40 3
        
        I'm fairly certain he didn't. He's been scandal free and from a strategic point of view for Blago it makes most sense for him to appoint someone - pmb Jan 6, 08:43 1
        
        gotcha. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:44
        
        There's zero proof he's done anything wrong or even any real conjecture. Just Reid et al dont' want Blago to make the decision now - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:41
- Franken makes sense to me. Burris does not. -- nm - ty97 Jan 6, 08:32 4
  - I think the opposite. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:34 3
    - never mind, I misunderstood you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:34 2
      - are you not sure that isn't not the case? -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:35 1
        
        *cries* -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:36
- Burris isn't very legal most likely; just politically smart for them and stupid for him. Franken's simple. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:29 11
  - CNN talking heads last night said that the Dems would let Burris take the seat if he promised not to run in 2010 for the seat. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:40 2
    - Honestly, I don't see a really viable manner Burris wins in 2010 if he runs anyhow. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:42 1
      - [deleted]
  - [deleted] 4
    - If I am up to speed (questiony)...the Canvassing Board determined Franken the winner, but the SecState hasn't signed off on the formal docs pending - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:39 1
      - [deleted]
    - per state law it does -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:37 1
      - sfen, the gov has to sign it, which may be next week, unless it is held due to legal challenges. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:38
  - how is Burris's appointment not legal? The Gov. of Illinois does have he legal right to appoint someone. No matter how big a tool he is (gov.). -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:32 2
    - I mean, their denial of his seat probably isn't legal. - Will Hunting Jan 6, 08:33 1
      - oh...I gotcha. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:37
- aha! the truth comes out! yale law indeed. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:29 1
  - [deleted]
- npr had a story on this last week, there is precedent in the senate that contested seats - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:27
- do you know what IANAL means? -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:27 3
  - maybe he got disbarred or something? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:33
  - butt stuff -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 08:30
  - IVAGINA, but perhaps he's taking it literally. -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:30
Episode 1 of Demons was mostly rubbish, the lead guy without his shirt for most of the time and Mackenzie Crook were the highlights. -- nm - LMS Jan 6, 08:24 2
- to bad. I was hoping for a good show. Gonna watch it htis weekend. -- nm - Remlik Jan 6, 08:33
- I hope you don't mean Mackenzie Crook without his shirt. -- nm - loosilu Jan 6, 08:26
lir andie - *impressed* Of all the production sets I've been on, I'm only listed once under Misc. - *sigh* -- (link) - CrankYanker Jan 6, 08:23 6
- express yourself here -- (link) - zork Jan 6, 08:26
- well, it's been my entire career since 1995. let's hope i have a few. - Andie Jan 6, 08:25 4
  - you could probably make pages for some of 'em. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:27 3
    - i've done it for some, (the ones here i've done) but i can't do the older ones without a full credit list, which i *don't* have. -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:30 2
      - take full credit! That never backfires! -- nm - Reagen Jan 6, 08:35 1
        
        and then i'll write a fictionalized memoir about my fabulous career! -- nm - Andie Jan 6, 08:39
This seems a little fishy for someone selling a PS3. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 6, 08:18 8
- maybe he's 14 and doesn't have a car (and can't ask his parents, since they gave it to him). -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 08:30
- would you get the receipt for the warranty? -- nm - zork Jan 6, 08:29 1
  - *shurgs* I did send him an email about it though. -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 08:29
- This one is a little more believable. -- (link) - Shaun Jan 6, 08:28
- more than a little, and if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. - mafic Jan 6, 08:25 1
  - they could take it to walmart and probably return it. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 6, 08:28
- Of course it's fishy. Why would anyone sell their PS3?!? -- nm - Ken K. Jan 6, 08:20 1
  - Madness I tell you! -- nm - Shaun Jan 6, 08:22
Looks like I might be upgrading my iPhone headphones soon. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 6, 08:17
JaxSean: If you like FOB, you might like "The Cab." - MDH Jan 6, 08:15 2
- cool, thanks. I'll check on eMusic when I get home first, then maybe I'll check it out on Amazon (they have "Whisper War"). -- nm - JaxSean Jan 6, 08:19 1
  - Sounds good, let me know what you think. -- nm - MDH Jan 6, 08:22
People who like random music: the label attached to my review site is having a sale. Any 4 releases for $20 shipped. - TFox Jan 6, 08:12 1

- woohoo! hookup! :) -- nm - oblique Jan 6, 08:24
- I always forget that from not the west coast it's quicker to go that way. - mafic Jan 6, 08:17

TTIS: Why won't this Excel spreadsheet allow me to insert a hyperlink? - JaxSean Jan 6, 08:07 7
