Some say... that his ears are on his knees. And his knees generate enough torque to stop the planet from spinning.

All we know is, he's called the Stig.

terrible film, great scene.

hey,
why can I watch this on videosift (i'm in the uk) but not on the colbert website?

what's the song in the background!

Let's give Krull a try.

It always confuses me, this talk about the myth of torture. Sure, if you're looking for a confession ,for instance, and it will not result in any action or verification it is useless. You're right, the person will eventually say anything to make it stop.

However, if you are looking for actionable intelligence (information you can subsequently go out and investigate with conventional means) then torture is effective, and it's one of the reasons why it's been used as long as humans have been around.

But on the comments boards there is all these people parroting "it's ineffective, it's ineffective". Torture is a very evil act, and is illegal, and demeaning. Hopefully killing will be just as frowned upon at some point. Using torture is a regression.

this was great. watch the other thmas friedman, then have a look at a book called the end of oil.

I put this on a few times every week! Damn this is a good song.

The film could also be "Norway", in which a country ends up with the highest standard of living in the world because they nationalized their oil industry.

Idiot.

That's such fantastic music. I love that album.

Where can I buy shares? :-)

Holy Shit.
