RE: World News - CosmykTheDolfyn - 10-22-2013
Most expensive music box set ever? Only one has sold so far, for $100,000. The box is a refrigerator.

That reminds me of the million-dollar Saints Row IV box-set. Does anyone know if someone bought it ?

The U.S. suffers another mass shooting. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/chi-los-angeles-airport-shooting-20131101,0,6707783.story Yippee. Get prepared for another round of gun control debate that will go absolutely nowhere.

"The world's first completely preserved adult hominid skull from the
early Pleistocene era looks surprisingly different from other skulls of
the same era, yielding a remarkable insight: Man’s early ancestors
appeared as physically diverse as humans do today, researchers said, and
our family tree has perhaps fewer branches than today's schoolbooks
teach."
I still like the idea that there were many different humanoid species out there, and the entire reason we are here today is because we were the strongest and smartest of them all and killed them leaving us as the result.

I say ban all guns in the US, and pass a law saying that all disputes need to be officially instigated by a glove slap and ended with fisticuffs.

Something that's impossible nowadays, because every single species has to be preserved for ever.
There's something unnatural in how we want to prevent species from dying out. Then again, lots of extinctions are our fault.

Problem is, I'd try to slap someone because I'm a good citizen, and that person'd shoot me because they're someone who was going to shoot me anyway.

Who comes up with these ideas ?

Hey let's blindfold a chess grandmaster and pit him against 10 inmates.
It's insane how he managed to beat them all without even seeing where the pieces are, though.
Also this. I don't think that this guy got to move around a lot during halloween. I sure as hell wouldn't have let him leave until I had finished :)

It's not really a big deal, but I thought it was really funny, so I had to share it. How could they not figure out that would never be a legit poster? xD

So this happened in my state. Funny thing is that I'll be going to the Mall of America on the 9th of this month. Too bad I wasn't there at the time or I would've tried my hand at catching a few of those bills.

Why not give it to charity than people who'd most likely murder you over a very cheap towel deal?
