Not that I'm advocating any conspiracy theory (I never even heard of this mysterious found passport before), but how exactly could the passport (made of paper) be more likely to survive a fire than a metal box?

If you've made it this long without one, you should keep it that way. I long for the days I had an excuse for people not being able to get ahold of me. Most people buy them claiming we're doing it in case of an emergency, but they rarely actually get used for that. I don't have one either. I don't understand how everyone can afford these things. The only reason I'd ever get one (if I could afford it) was if I had a girlfriend. But man, I wouldn't want my parents or other people calling me all the time. Sometimes you just gotta be free. Cellphones are like an albatross around the neck. Amen. I bought my first cell phone because my roommates were too irresponcible to pay the phone bill (I gave them a flat $300 a month that covered 1/3 of the rent plus utilities) and it kept getting shut off, and I wanted potential employers and my girlfriend to be able to get ahold of me.

If you actually knew what you were talking about you would.

TE3 had a try-out episode. I remember it well because there was a kid that Al Snow liked who faked passing out. The TSM recap of the TE3 Premiere

Congratulatons on being able to accurately gage the stupidity of MTV's core audience. I gave them too much credit.

I take back every nice thing I said earlier.

Soundgarden was making great music around the same time Nirvana hit it big, but never had anywhere near Nirvana's popularity or exposure. The lyrics and sound of the early 90s grunge bands was a totally reversal of what had been popular before that point. Nirvana wasn't just some hard rock act that got popular because the lead singer killed himself. They were part of something bigger...a change in the music industry away from Michael Jackson and ballad-centric "hair metal" of the late 80s. You kids who didn't start paying attention to music until Limp Bizkit, Britney Spears, and Eminem made it big are simply too young to know what you're talking about. If, in the year 1992, you were listening to "Barney and Friends" instead of MTV (yes, they played music once), you are horribly unqualified to have an opinion on Nirvana.

You really had us convinced you were serious for a couple of pages, there.

I think the problem with CGI is that they try to add too much detail and it ends up looking more detailed than the other stuff in the frame, and sticks out like a sore thumb. Jurassic Park was on TV today, and the animators knew when to stop adding microscopic detail to every inch of skin (plus their were more limitations in picture resolution back then).

Please have your eyes examined.

That was due to me being tired and having just seen a marriage commercial. I was out of it last night. Been there.

The fact that they discussed both Astonishing X-Men and X-23 titles in this panel is representative of how hit or miss Marvel can be.

Point of the movie = Jersey Girl was a tremendous bomb and Smith needed to make a movie someone might actually want to see. Let's not kid ourselves here.

Because they actually managed to make them look younger...? Becuase it looked like CGI? Some of us aren't computer animation experts that can instantly examine every nuance of an image that's only on screen for a few seconds at a time. In other words, it looked real to me, and I have absolutely no idea why you're complaining.

Bob seems like the kind of guy who, if he was a small town news reporter, would run a headline saying "Murder Rate up 50%" if 3 guys got killed in a year instead of 2.

2) Thank goodness. 3) The local affiliates have to approve DirecTV giving the NY affiliates. I was declined.

Edited for accuracy.

Well, at least one person bothered to do some research.

A marriage ceremony isn't an overly sexual act, though. To be fair...Here are Bush's comments, in context: Even in context, the hypocrisy of Bush saying this should be left up to the people, even though by making it a part of the Constitution it is taking it out of the hands of the actual people, is staggering. In no way has a case that same-sex marriage weakens society. Bush is illogically relying entirely on ad populum arguments to make his case, instead of giving a real reason why same-sex marriage hurts society.

Yeah, she's a real monster.

I honestly don't see the harm that could have on a child.

I'm guessing that was actually done at the municipal level with the support of the majority of the city's population.

Nice to see that actual long term research, in which the welfare of children raised by hetero sexual couples was compared to the welfare of children raised by same-sex couples, was done. I'm also glad we have a President who can back up his arguments with facts instead of vaguely worded and unprovable generalizations. Can someone please offer evidence that allowing two men or two women to marry affects anyone besides the two men or two women who actually get married? Did someone forget to inform me that the Constitutional amendment process now includes national referendum? Because it seems to me that, if this amendment passes, communities that DO want to enact gay marriage through the democratic process will not be allowed to. He is attempting to expand the role of the federal government to include regulating marriage law, which has always been a matter left to the states and local communities. Is there some epidemic of federal courts ruling that gay marriages MUST be recognized that I'm unaware of?

If by crap you mean that there arent enough channels, all I can say is there are only like 3 or 4 other national HD channels right now that Directv doesn't have, and they dont really have the bandwith to carry them now but given some time they'll have tons of HD Channels. (1) The programming on the networks I do get (with the exception of the 3 channels that are just HD versions of regular cable channels) generally consists of old cancelled TV shows and movies that look like 480p DVDs. (2) They've been promising me more channels for almost a year now. They need to get their asses moving on that. (3) You need an antenna to get local channels, and the only way to watch major network programming is through local affiliates. Thus, what the hell do I even need DirecTV HD for it all I needed was an antenna? This is especially frustrating because the only networks that have affiliates with signals strong enough to reach my house are CBS, UPN, and FOX.
