Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"The latest information is available on our website. Are you sure you want to speak to a customer service representative?"
Grrrr. This one makes me see red. Especially when they keep asking you this while you're waiting for the next available customer service person.
I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but I've heard Tucker Carlson got an embarrassing errection during his number with a sexy dancer.
Ya know, as much as I like to see Schmucker Carlson humiliated publicly (*sigh* - and what did I inevitably typo for that word initially?), I could have gladly gone my whole life without seeing his name and "erection" (or "wood") in the same sentance.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
My horoscope says: Clark Kent had Superman. Diana Prince has Wonder Woman. Now it's time for you to develop your own alter ego. Be detailed, down to the kind of clothes he or she wears. The next time you're feeling shy, bring them out instead.
I'm too lazy to design an alter-ego.I have enough problems with the ego I have now.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Now I totally want a nice old sliderule....
My favorite scene in Apollo XIII is when all the guys in mission control break out their sliderules and start calculating frantically. I'm like, "dudes, don't invent space ships before calculators, m'kay?"

Too difficult to tell for sure.

Supposedly we'll be back on the moon in fifteen years or so. Far off in the future I'm sure people will be amazed that we landed on the moon half a dozen times in the '60s and '70s, 50 or so years before the many landings in this century. Back then, NASA computers would take days to calculate trajectories to the moon, and often the computers would crash just before reaching a solution. And the computers on the command module didn't have enough memory to store the entire mission, so astronauts had to manually key in programs and data into the computers before they could return to Earth.

It was too good not to youtube.
Congratulations, you have effectively paralyzed me with the oscillation between schadenfreunde and horrified aversion.
