what the fuck is a tonne

it's a "ton" goddamnit

Yeah working class folks would save 3-5 grand, wealthy folks would save millions.
NOT a good idea.

I wouldn't mind an extra 3 to 5 grand.

2175 miles in 23 days. Yep, anyone can ride a bike.

Came into the thread to post exactly this. People talking about how "oh, anyone can do it!" or "man, bike riding isn't really a sport" have obviously never ridden a bike since they were about 10 years old. The amount of effort it takes to bike 50-75 miles in one day is incredible, let alone the amount of effort it takes to ride over 100 miles almost every single day for three weeks straight over mountainous terrain.

I don't idolize Armstrong. I think it's pretty much accepted that he, along with many other professional cyclists, regularly participated in blood doping or steroid use or whatever else. The difference is, he's been able to hide it. Doping is so widespread at the upper end of cycling competition that it's foolish to assume that people DON'T do it.

Every time you use the word "sheeple," I die a little inside.

That is all.

Glad to see they made it back to terra firma safe and sound.

I'm going to miss the Space Shuttles once they retire them. The Ares rocket that is slated to become the new orbital delivery vehicle isn't anywhere near as cool. The rocket (and the Orion spacecraft itself, for that matter) remind me too much of the 60s era spacecraft.

He's right.

The hypocrisy inherent in our support of a militaristic and religiously-zealous country like Israel while simultaneously condemning those same qualities in other countries is disgraceful.

the people who matter in Britain are currently thinking about it

If that'd been said by an American politician, you'd better believe the media would've jumped all over him for implying that the American public doesn't matter.

In all seriousness though, I think this is a good decision for Obama. I supported Clinton early in the primaries because I honestly think she would've be a good POTUS, but her strategy of "attack attack attack distract the electorate GAS TAX HOLIDAY WOOOO" didn't sit well with me. There really wasn't that much difference policy-wise between her and Obama, they just created two different cults of personality.

She'll do a good job as Secretary of State.

And just how could they have "forced" him into it???

Oh Liberals can't wait for their messiah to take over. I thought he said that there can be only one President at a time --- but to liberals he can do no wrong and any contradiction is irrelevant in their denial.

Seriously, it's getting tiresome.

AND the good news is......

Ann Coulter's Jaw Wired Shut!

Way to take the high road there, Corky.

hee-hee, the government spanks penises.

Obese

Canadians

oxymoron

My Aggies are gettin' killed this season. By Baylor and the rest of the Big XII South. Baylor!

I know you weren't serious 101. Relax!

p.s. redheads are still hot

Rutgers beat another shitty team (Army) this week. Go us, I think.

We'll probably make it to the Insight Bowl or some other worthless crap that no one cares about this year. At least this is the last season for our horrible QB (Mike Teel).

I don't understand all the hate for redheads. Red hair only serves to make attractive women even more attractive.

If you don't agree with me you're either gay or stupid. So there, 101. >:(

"fart" is a funny word.

What about very tall people? They are extremely uncomfortable.

I'm actually interested in seeing who's going to replace her in the Senate.

Senator Bloomberg, anyone?

goddamn those are some big letters

He's okay. Clean bill of health and can go back to work.

It'd be impossible to do that with the media breathing down his neck asking questions like "is he still fit to do his job?" and "what are the chances of this happening again?" and so on.

Has anybody considered the idea the BL2 is just a really, really successful troll?
