Venezuela Begins Collapsing: Food Shortages and Coup Threats
Sweet Zombie Jesus.
*Fail and *lies at the very first sentence.
Venezuela is not considered by ANY realistic person as a Utopia or a 'holy Grail of socialism or communism', the only people who might say that are right wing nuts that want to burn their straw man. It is a third world dictatorship masquerading as communist socialism. I can't go any farther listening to sweater Jesus' uninformed opinion if he's starting out so incredibly wrong.
Venezuela's economy is almost 100% tied to the price of oil. When oil prices plunged, so did their economy, and it wasn't doing great when prices were high, thanks to poor infrastructure, limited 'customers' for their low quality oil, and ubiquitous corruption. It's really that simple.

Ha ha ha ha ha! You're a good person, newt. May you get better. (Citation: Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Scene 5, Villager #3)
Yeah, well, when you quote Groucho (after not quoting Groucho) from a not so well read book passage where he's not being funny, and it sounds much more like someone complaining about not understanding my classic Groucho MOVIE quote rather than quipping, it's easier to miss. I'm not ashamed. ;-)
I looked it up, and from the moment I picked up his book until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.
Why 'Pulp Fiction' Is Really a Modern Remake of King Arthur
Pretty tenuous links there.
So Wallace, Vincent and Mia are Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere ....
OR....
pretty much any love triangle in the history of fiction?
Briefcase=holy grail is probably the best bit, but Butch as Mordred doesn't work at all and neither does Jules as Galahad. Butch is not Wallaces son (where's Morgana?) and Jules is actually older than Vincent. Also, Morderd didn't kill Lancelot, and Mordred killed Arthur, he didn't save him from rape.
An Epic Modern Trailer for Monty Python and the Holy Grail
Excellent. I am totally going to mess with my kids and show them this trailer and then show them The Holy Grail.
Live and Let Drive - retraces C'etait un Rendezvous
Just watched the original. I guess if you had never seen any street racing, or had eyes, you might consider that the holy grail. Or if holy grail in this instance means "first" or something. Boring stuff, barely breaking the speed limit.
Basically your normal southern european driver. Bit slower, but the same lack of respect for red lights. So disappointed, I was expecting something fun.
How to Flip Food in a Pan Like a Chef!
Being able to consistently flip crepes without destroying them is one of my culinary holy grails. Thanks for this.
Mitt's Magical Mormon Undies: Penn Jillette's Rant Redux

The people in the court are not admitting to the fallibility of their religious beliefs yet also denying the possibility of those same beliefs manifesting in such an obvious and concrete way.

Beautiful real-time raytracing tech demo in DX11
>> ^Fantomas:
This showcases raytracings strengths of reflections, refractions and other light effects really well. I still think rasterised rendering is more than capable for current gaming.
I tend to agree, but ray tracing has always been the holy grail in both visual quality...and attainability. For what I remember when I cared, accelerating such a process is rather difficult. I believe, though, rasterisation is still done in "ray tracing" environments, but the lighting model is pure ray tracing; which I believe is a recent break through in rolling out ray tracing engines (see photon mapping). Time to google more ray tracing stuff, forgot how pretty it was
