esoog, ever read rendezvous with rama? Great series of books that deal with humans and interstellar travel much like this (although no gravity/wormhole travel). A simular situation happens there so it was not unfamiliar territory to me. Space travel is simply not friendly if you try to anchor yourself in a certain time and place.

I wanna holler the loud funny words.

Two points abaft the beam mast port side was breach of the main deck hull. Jib jab yarr rip rap scowed the anchor, but Jesus only knows why the scuttlebutt was a spanker for the third mate's tailshaft. Iceberg right ahead!

When i am on just videosift.com, i see the top 15 videos which i really like and have always used.

When i click on one of those top 15 videos, it takes me to ../video/a-video. The top 15 videos are no longer visible, which i find a little disorientating. That top 15 side bar everywhere except profiles kind of gave a common theme regardless of the page - which i liked.. it was an anchor.

I have never clicked one of the suggested videos, because i want to watch the top 15 in a certain order often and the "suggested videos" bit doesn't state where they exist on the top 15.

The "related videos" part seems like it's missing something, they might be related but not in a way you'd expect. For example the very first one i checked - "sportscaster responds to racism" - has as a related video "what what (in the butt)" which is possibly offensive

Also as shepppard said, it looks very very mobile friendly. I don't like the way the videos in "suggested" and "related" appear at all on a pc screen.. they are just floating in nothing, there's no delineations.

It was April the forty-first
Being a quadruple leap year
I was driving in downtown Atlantis
My barracuda was in the shop
So I was in a rented stingray
And it was overheating

So I pulled into a Shell Station
They said I'd blown a seal
I said, "Fix the damn thing
And leave my private life out of it
Okay pal?"

While they were doing that
I walked over to a place called the Oyster Bar, a real dive
But I knew the owner
He used to play for the Dolphins
I said "Hi Gil"
You have to yell, he's hard of herring

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Gil was also down on his luck
Fact is he was barely keeping his head below water
I bellied up to the sandbar
He poured me the usual

Rusty snail, hold the grunion
Shaken not stirred
With a peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich on the side
Heavy on the mako

I slipped him a fin
On porpoise
I was feeling good
I even dropped a sand dollar in the box for Jerry's squids
For the halibut

Well the place was crowded
We were packed in like sardines They were all there to listen to the big band sounds of Tommy Dorsal
What sole

Tommy was rockin' the place with a very popular tuna
Salmon Chanted Evening
And the stage was surrounded by screaming groupers
Probably there to see the bass player

One of them was this cute little yellowtail
And she's giving me the eye
So I figured this is my chance for a little fun
You know, piece of Pisces

But she said things I just couldn't fathom
She was too deep, seemed to be under a lot of pressure
Boy, could she drink
She drank like a . . .
She drank a lot

I said "What's your sign"
She said "Aquarium"
I said "Great, let's get tanked"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

I invited her to my place for a midnight bait
I said "Come on baby, it'll only take a few minnows"
She threw me that same old line
"Not tonight, I gotta haddock"

And she wasn't kidding either
Cause in came the biggest, meanest looking haddock
I'd ever seen come down the pike
He was covered with mussels

He came over to me and said
"Listen, shrimp, don't you come trollin' around here"
What a crab
This guy was steamed
I could see the anchor in his eyes

I turned to him, I said
"A-balone, you're just being shellfish"
Well, I knew it was going to be trouble and so did Gil
'Cause he was already on the phone to the cods

The haddock hits me with a sucker punch
I catch him with a left hook
He eels over
It was a fluke but there he was
Lying on the deck, flat as a mackerel
Kelpless

I said "Forget the cods Gil
This guy's gonna need a sturgeon"
Well, the yellowtail was impressed with the way I landed her boyfriend
She came over to me, she said
"Hey, big boy, you're really a game fish
What's your name"
I said "Marlin"

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh
Wet dream

Well, from then on we had a whale of a time
I took her to dinner, I took her to dance
I bought her a bouquet of flounders
And then I went home with her
And what did I get for my trouble
A case of the clams

Think I had a wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

Wet dream
Cruisin' thru the Gulf Stream
Ooh Ooh Ooh Ooh

If I wasn't pre warned I would have missed it, but looking through all the possible scenarios I came upon the fact that the only thing anchoring both sides was a single body, although I was expecting a little more air born action to be really funny. It does make my cry though that a rescue crew trained for mountain scenarios don't have a grasp on some simple physics.

The harpoons didn't actually fire.

At around 8:45 a.m. PST, ESA said the lander’s harpoons did not fire, meaning that Philae is not anchored to the comet. Without being firmly attached to the ground, the worry is that the lander may fall off. ESA is now looking at options to refire the harpoons. -wired

Hey look. "He's a comedian" should be the first thing you mentioned, because that's what he is. He's a clever and compassionate guy, but he's ultimately a comedian.

The guys he's referring to are supposed to work in news reporting.

You'll have to give him artistic license to use his skills to lampoon and lambaste their skills. He isn't going to professionally debate Hannity especially when the man can't even allow a debate to happen on a national news station. He is certainly capable of it, but don't expect him (a comedian) to take the high ground over a news anchor. If the anchor wants to act like a child and use silly methods to trick people, Brand is fully entitled to use his superior silly methods to highlight the truth.

Comedians, corporate news anchors, it's actually irrelevant who presents the issues. What matters is whether you have a reasoned, considered and coherent argument to present.

Sometimes both sides can defend their positions, because the world is complicated and varying shades of grey.

Sometimes one side just shouts.

This is an old one, but I'm pretty sure it's one of the "News Anchor Fail" compilations. So, I guess not a dupe.
