Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Tom Scola: Maybe we should program the board to immediately post "Why did I follow the link? Why? Why?" right after ita posts one.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I wonder if ita posts links using only her pinky?

ita: The last krav birthday party I attended had a pinata. I'm a little surprised no one was killed.

Tom Scola: It's OK to kill a coworker if they set their phone's ringtone to the Chicken Dance, right?

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

Matt tBF:

I'm fairly confident that if I knew someone was reading my mind, I could make myself think of things sufficiently unpleasant or shocking to remove their desire to do so. A lifetime of watching horror movies could come in handy. Along with certain experiences at Disneyworld.

Finally, a use for goatse.

eta: Thanks, Todd!

Childhood games in Natter.

Ple: I played with my model horses. There was a very elaborate society (each housing unit made up of one of the 12x12 squares of linoleum on my floor), complete with marriages, affairs, rich slumlords, and noble poverty. It was like an equine telenovela. The money was Tiddleywinks.

My friend and I used to stage Barbie executions. That was always fun.
