Sunday, September 11, 2005 - "Space Rangers is actually quite a good game"

> Serious

  • The neutron bomb - humane? [Details]
  • The man who came in from the cuckoos nest. [Details]
  • Best guess? Someone bumped the case, they knocked together and went home. [Details]
  • You could just let them eliminate each other, you know. (And has anyone explained WHY urban youth naturally divides into two large camps and not three or four?) [Details]
  • . . . Um. If true, and extensible, this is indeed the biggest medical discovery since 'if all the blood comes out then the patient will die' [Details]
  • It's practically free and (since it's just water) at worst harmless. The placebo effect is real - why NOT continue funding it on the NHS? [Details]
  • Slightly obvious - yet silly [Details]
  • Weren't WW2 movies praising heroism made with this plot? [Details]
  • You too can pass an A-Level exam in two weeks, if you're six years older than you should be, have been working in the field for four years - and you're not a complete dumbass. [Details]
  • Trailer parks. NO. [Details]
  • Combat in Iraq. Biased, as everything has bias, but a scary read. [Details]

> Humour

  • Leave it to Bush... it's odd. Obscene and hate filled, obviosuly - but also odd. [Destroy]
  • Hi Walmart. Meet kettle. It's black hearted too! [Details]
  • The second one especially - fantastic. [Details]

  • ... ear worm. [Destroy]
  • ... Wrong. very wrong. Also being sued for copying :) [Destroy]
  • Touching. Sweet. Very very odd. With kickboxing action. [Details]
  • Sarky much? [Details]
  • K+K Mime mysteries? Wha? [Destroy]
  • Yet another argument for universal contracts. (If you sell it to him at one price, you sell it to EVERYONE. also known as 'bubblegum in class' economics) [Details]
  • Silly town. [Details]
  • Bibliomancy - cut throat business. [Details]
  • A useful adjunct to the oxford dictionary - limericks [Details]
  • Spooooky death threat village [Details]
  • Mary sue much? [Details]
  • Aint Christianity odd. Half a page of howling in hebrew. [Details]
  • When those "Oh gods, that's soooo insecure" people are yelling at you - here's what those two-syllable words mean. [Details]
  • .... No. Classic (bad) art meet postmodern idiocy in a world that is above the law. [Details]
  • Ninja nanny! (Also - OW!) [Details]
  • Sadly 'flesheater' isn't an option. [Details]
  • Because the IMPORTANT thing about a natural disaster which killed thousands is how fat your car is. [Destroy]
  • Old, but... insane. [Details]
