Screaming Penguin

It had to happen on some day, why not Valentine's Day in France.

Only 8675309999 might have been more apropos - but that one falls on Thu, 28 Nov 2244 (GMT). I wonder if anyone in 2244 will know or care about 8675309 (ey9eye9eye9n)?

Yeah, sure, it's "cheaper to maintain," that's why the Brits choose a BAE system based on Windows XP to power their nuclear subs. You read that right, Windows is actually used in nuclear submarines.

My ass it's cheaper, but of course that's what the contractors trying to land the deal will purport. Also, when it comes to nukes, how much of a factor should "cheaper" even really be? (Sure it's a factor, but where does it weigh in with reliability, security, and so on?)

Yes, even Pastafarians get into the spirit of co-opting the end of the year pagan winter celebrations for commercial purposes (using timeless religious symbols such as trees, fat guys in red suits, a sale every weekend, and brilliant light displays).

Merry FSMas, ramen!

Not sure it's real, though clever either way ... http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=665847

And yes, I did see this article on Kebernet's reader feed - but I thought this picture deserved to be shared again and again.
