"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Wouldn't that be great, if you could occasionally outsource bodily functions and stuff? Like, "I'm really busy here - could you go pee for me, please?"

Professor Farnsworth certainly thought so, but that family in Evanston might disagree.

Oh, my god, dude, NO, we are not changing all of the italics in your documents by .5pt. NO.

You work for my boss? (Seriously, she once said that the degree symbols -- as in temperature -- were too small for her to see, even though they had never been "too small" in the past. When we mentioned that they were never "too small" in the past, she said that, OBVIOUSLY, she was getting older which made things harder to read, and if it was the case with her, it would be the case with our readers, too. I asked her how she knew the demographics of our readers. She said it didn't matter, that she wanted it changed, and told us to make all degree symbols bold and .5 pt larger.

We didn't change anything, and later she said that "her changes" made a BIG difference. We've never told her that we didn't change anything.)

Scola, you missed your calling. I think you should be a job-placement-finder-person (does that actually have a title?).

[O]ne of the arguments that the anti-gay-marriage side has increasingly turned to outside the courtroom is that allowing same-sex marriage would hurt heterosexual marriage. At the pretrial hearing, Judge Walker kept asking Charles Cooper, the lawyer defending Proposition 8, how exactly it did so. “I’m asking you to tell me,” he said at last, “how it would harm opposite-sex marriages.”
