I don't really want to upvote this. I'm not Greek and I'm not aware enough of the political scene there but things like this scare the shit out of me.

I must be some kind of hybrid freak. I use PCs at home and abroad (eh?) and a Mac at work, because that's what the office wants. Does this mean both sides want me dead?

I'm pretty cynical myself, but what is inspiring is not that this guy did this but that he didn't give up. Screw you all when the best you can come up with is that you didn't like the song. So? What the hell does that have to do with someone's ability to overcome their own perceived limitations?

"Argue for your limitations and sure enough they're yours" - Richard Bach (flaky yes, but well thought and spoken.)

"“There is a principle which is a bar against all information, which is proof against all arguments and which cannot fail to keep a man in everlasting ignorance - that principle is contempt prior to investigation” - Herbert Spencer.

I seriously don't understand why that last sentence above is greyed out, I didn't intend sarcasm.

Definition 1 c) is where it comes from.

Definition of KEEN - Merriam-Webster online

1 a : having a fine edge or point : sharp
b : affecting one as if by cutting <keen sarcasm>
c : pungent to the sense

But maybe Keane just exploited the coincidence, I don't know.

"Keen as mustard"
That's a new one to me.

I think there is a brand of mustard in England by the name of Keane, so that might be where the phrase comes from.

This could have had a grizzly outcome. >> ^messenger:

That's a pretty ursinine thing to do.>> ^dannym3141:
Bear-ly made it out with his life... bit paw, i know.
I'm only trying to start a pun-chain because i have a really really bad one to deliver later on.

That was sweet.

I swear the funniest bit in all of these videos is the guy shouting 'epic rap battles of history'. This one was funny, but there's something about his almost incoherent bellowing that just makes me giggle.

Couldn't have said it better if I tried.>> ^budzos:

Moose will fuck you up stay the hell away from them.

Oh God would you listen to that conga player! No clue who that is but they seriously rocked that line!

It's all about trajectory. You launch at an angle and force that compensates for drift and earth movement, etc. I bet they expected it to land anywhere within a few miles as it's a chute recovery system. Rockets don't fire on high-wind days because it throws trajectory off.

Yep, expert over here. This guy.>> ^Fletch:

Actually, considering how high it went up, It's quite amazing how close to it's original launch site it landed.

I thought the same thing, if that would of hit someone...ouch.

Was it just luck or does it guide itself at all on the way down? It just seems SO improbable that it would come back down so damned close!
Do you actually think Carmack can design an engine nowadays that isn't on rails? Just because you can see all that landscape doesn't mean the rocket can actually go there. The only way back is through the same boring airspace it had already cleared.

I made it to 1:07. Do I win a kewpie doll or something?

I think it's meant to be a spoof... dude's name is "Dr. Steel" after all.
