Futurama: "Shut Up, Damn It!"

I'm thankful everyday that the show is back, and that it has been pretty damn good.


Agreed. This return is so much better than when they took movies and split them up into the illusion of a series. I love the standalone episodes much more than ones with a prolonged, overarching storyline. The worst offenders were The Beast with a Thousand Backs, and Bender's Big Score.

Israeli Woman Finds Out BF Is Arabic, Sues Him For Rape

Simple_Man says...

False information to deceive a woman into having sex with him? Sounds like every man who's ever lived would have to be jailed then.

"Hello ladies. I'm a doctor."
"You look real pretty in that dress."
"I love you."

My code word for taking the dog on a walk...

"Hi, I'm Chris Hansen. Today on To Catch a Predator, we ambush a sick bastard who's been stalking underage dogs on the internet."

*hours later*

"Hey! Is...is Meatwad in?"

"No she's not. But I'm Chris Hansen. Why don't you take a seat over there?"

"Oh! Well, sure. Look, what's this about?"

"Well the problem here is that I believe you've been seducing young dogs on the internet. intrnlprym84evr? Is that your chatroom name?"

"Yeah it is, but...it's not what you think. I didn't..."

"You said, on July 19th, 2010, to Meatwad, 'Do you like child porn?' 'I'm totally going to take you on a child porn.' 'Child porn is good for you and is an excellent way to relieve stress.' 'Once I get this leash on you I'm going to child porn you all over town.' 'Hey, maybe if you get your friends we can child porn them together.' Now, do you think that that's appropriate language to use with an underage dog?"

"I'm going to be arrested, aren't I?"

"You'll be serving time in the dog house for a loooong time."

Sugar: The Bitter Truth

Simple_Man says...

I can't say for certain, but I'm think this video will change my life. I've been trying to lose weight for ages, not drinking any coke, doing exercise etc., but I've never realized the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup in all foods. I wrote down those 4 tips that he suggested to losing weight, and I'll repeat them here for those who missed it. I'll certainly stick to it and see if it works.

1. Get rid of all sugared liquids: only water and milk. Fruits are fine, because it contains all the fibers.

2. Eat carbs with fiber, because fibers are awesome. Fibers: Lowers total and LDL cholesterol, reduces risk of heart disease
regulates blood sugar, and speeds the passage of foods through the digestive system

3. Wait 20 mins for second portions, so your satiety response can kick in.

4. Buy your screen time minute-for-minute with physical activity.

Some other points:

-a calorie is not a calorie: you don't do exercise to burn calories, but to increase metabolism

-fructose IS NOT glucose. A large amount of glucose is used by the rest of the body, meaning it burns much quicker. Fructose can only be metabolized in the liver, and it's a volume issue. It means a lot gets turned into fat, and in that process, blocks receptors to generate certain chemicals which tell your body to stop eating, causing a vicious cycle.

-be a fattie or fart a lot (from the fiber). Make your choice.

marine biologist:corexit being sprayed on the gulf

Simple_Man says...

>> ^bcglorf:

Took me awhile to articulate what bothered me about this. The entire context we get from the editing of the clip is purely a commentary from a scientist stating that spraying the chemical on the oil spill is bad. My problem is that the relevant question is importantly different, to spray or not to spray. I'm not aware of anyone saying spraying is good, but more simply that spraying is better than that much extra oil hitting the shore. Sadly we don't see him speaking to that, only the more friendly to public outrage details of how horrible the spraying is.
Dumping millions and millions of barrels of oil into the environment is very bad for it. We live in a world that is not required to have a good solution to the problem. It's not even required to have ANY solution. Simply demonstrating and knowing that spraying is a bad solution does not prove that it may not still be the best that we've got, or at any rate a piece of the best we can get.


There are less toxic alternatives to Corexit that are more effective. In fact, the EPA has pushed BP to adopt a new dispersant called "Sea Brat No. 4". However, BP refused, on the grounds of a certain ingredient contains “potential endocrine disruptors” that “may persist in the environment for a period of years". This has been proven false, as the threshold for the ingredient to be considered toxic is 10% by weight, whereas the percentage in the Sea Brat dispersant is at 1.91%. Another is that they cannot obtain the quantity of the dispersant needed. This is false as well. There are thousands of gallons of alternative dispersant waiting to be shipped, with a manufacturing plant with sufficient capacity to produce large quantities everyday should BP need it.

On the other hand, a former BP executive sits on the board of Nalco, the manufacturer of Corexit. Just some food for thought.
