Also, guys who are really obvious about "I'm trying to be your friend because I really want to date you" are just creepy. Dude. Ask me out, or don't. But doing something nice for me and then getting pissy because I didn't reciprocate in the way you wanted, which I never agreed to do, isn't being a "nice guy," it's being a manipulative brat.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

So we have to wait 20 years just to send humans to orbit Mars? Bah.
On Countdown last night, Derek Pitts pointed out that NASA ditched the Saturn V rocket after the Apollo mission completed, which would have been a great stepping off point for further developments on long-distance rockets for asteroid and Mars launches. So, I guess now they're having to start from scratch on the next generation of long-distance mission rockets.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
From the same article: He said he used to put women on a pedestal -- giving them thoughtful gifts and taking them out to fancy dinners.
Here's a thought - women don't want to be put on a pedestal.
You know, I bet right now D is whining about what a nice guy he is and why does 10% of bad outweigh 90% of good. @@

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
I can certainly feel for the "if we hang out and she gets to know me something will just click" school of thought as it is so often mine. And also the "we're already pals and if I ask her out and she say's 'no' things will get irrevocably wierd" sentiment.

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
Hm. You guys should spend an hour in the OK Cupid message boards, where hoards of those guys are very, very angry at women.

Like that. Asscaps are not optional.

We need new heavy lift rockets to get big enough stuff in orbit to mount a mission. But getting to Mars needs something a lot more advanced than anything we have now.
The Earth to the moon is about 250,000 miles. At its shortest, the distance between the Earth and Mars is about 34,000,000 miles.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Obama talked about building a new heavy-lift rocket in 2015. Dunno if this is the Ares V he's talking about....
