I wouldn't be surprised if it was a cop that put it there. At least in the U.S. Do Irish police have as much of a nazi problem?

I'm still trying to bring back Mega Virginia.

I wouldn't say No Country for Old Men starts that way. That scene is a good ways into the movie.

We don't have an overpopulation problem. We have with resources being hoarded by a small handful of billionaires.

I still hate Bush, but credit where it's due: that was a good dodge.

If I read it correctly, the probe checks periodically, and if it loses contact, it uses the location of known stars to point its antenna back towards the Earth. If that doesn't work, it's gone.

When did I mention Asimov? And on Ayn Rand, I meant that she and Heinlein had similar shitty right-Libertarian takes sometimes.

Not enough underaged incest orgies? Or not enough Ayn Rand shit-takes?

I discovered Pratchett as a teenager, instantly fell in love. His novels definitely influenced me as a person later in life, and I'm happy for it.

And not one of them was while going down stairs. Bummer.

That would be true if electoral votes were proportional to states' populations. As it is now, your vote counts (I think) six times more if you live in Wyoming vs if you live in California.

I drove an '04 Dakota for years (last year of that body style before they started making them bigger). Loved that truck, perfect size for camping or hauling band equipment.

Sucks that the mid-sized trucks now are bigger that the full-sized trucks from back then.
