Biplane much older than previously thought.

This is really amazing, considering the development of airplane technology and ways in which scientific progress and development mimics Darwinian evolution. I'm sure this has been covered before but I'm a bear of very little brain.

Don't' you ever, EVER make fun of my driving again

Now I have a damn good reason to drive as I do. I wonder if it only applies to Canadians?

We are Canada's Mexicans

Sometimes Ted can get on my nerves but I thought this was accurate.

Idiocracy

Overall a great social spoof of the logical extension of America's slide towards junk culture and corporate influence in culture and government. Probably would have made a much better short film as the plot only exists to foist scene after scene of absurd cultural mostrosities. i.e. the number one movie attraction is called Ass, which is a closeup of, yeah, an human male ass, which occasionally farts. Or this memorable line, where a character is trying to pronounce rehabilitation..."What are you trying to read that word for? Are you a fag?" I don't think Mike Judge, for all his talents, should have gone the writing alone but it still stands up as a sharp, but not vicious attack on our consumerist culture.

Bathrooms and You

Just an observation, and I've not been in many female bathrooms but I can read building schematics. Females always get one stall per pot with a door, correct me if I'm wrong. Males get stalls too but also get urinals. Personally I find these things foul and perhaps this has something to do with my point here. The thing is, these urinals can be augmented with a wide array of accessories to avoid the inconvenient truth that you are standing mere inches from another man with your twig in the wind. Some of these barriers are more generous then others, some seem merely a hint, providing some of us wired that way the opportunity for cruising. The question I have ultimately is why no stalls for the urinals? What makes standing exempt from the barest common decency of privacy during elimination? I guess you can blame some of it on a sort of overtly masculine homophobic reaction, like sports players slapping each other on the ass. "We are so not gay, let me prove it to the world with a firm open palm slap on the ass!" Alternatively why arent't we all sitting there cheek to cheek...ahem.
I mean if I'm forced to stand next to some stranger why not just dispense with the whole charade. Imagine the quality conversations you could have with complete strangers between grunts, pants around your ankles.
