If the classic documentary The Lawnmower Man has taught me anything: Yes, you are correct.
I'll stick with my three seashells, thank you very much.
Hey, eCoupled, make this into a wireless block heater. So next winter I don't leave for work in the morning, forget I'm plugged in, and rip my extension cord out of my wall again.
As long as I can summon a pegasus or atom bomb to get me out of tight spots, I'm sold.
At work right now, and had to watch this with the volume off.
Kept hearing Yakety Sax in my head when it was playing, probably because of the people in time lapse.
And how much of a diagram did those construction workers really need? "Dammit Josef, I told you a hundred times: head on top of shoulders!"

A hyrda with vampire Antoine Dodson, zombie Sarah Palin, and dramatic groundhog's heads fighting Manny Pacquiao, Chuck Norris, and P. Diddy in a gladiatorial arena on the surface of the Sun while three cats play piano and three wolves howl at double rainbows in the background. All while Gates, Jobs, and Zuckerberg watch from a private box.
Name the pup Boner.
Many reasons why this would work.
Practical: The white patch looks like a bone.
Juvenile humor: Heh.
Pop culture: Growing Pains reference.
Social: In the event the little shit gets lost (they all do at some point), you can walk around the park with a leash in hand asking cute ladies if they've seen your boner.

@Stanfield's Muscle:
Ok, I'll bite.
I'm a Pac-fan, so take what I write with a grain of salt.
Bob Arum went public, but so did Oscar de la Hoya a month earlier.
[www.theboxingtruth.com]
Other than the both of them commenting that the deal was almost done, I don't see a big deal. What I've read is that Arum's comments are basically that everything's agreed, just when Floyd wants to fight.
About the negotiating with other fighters, since both Cotto and Margarito are stablemates with Pacquiao in Arum's Top Rank, I don't consider it negotiating as much as Bob telling Cotto or Cheatarito to show up and get their beating. The alternatives are just that: Plan B. Fighting Cotto gets Pac nothing, except an easy belt that Cotto just won from Yuri Forman (although Cotto is with Emmanuel Steward now, might be interesting). And Margs? Fighting him just brings in a Latino with something to prove. The promotional material can push the "fallen warrior" angle or something.
Anyways, yes the whole needles and drugs vs scaredeycat thing is coming up again. Here's a good commentary from January when this all started from ESPN writer Tim Keown:
[sports.espn.go.com]
Essentially, people accuse Pac of 'roids because Floyd says so, not because of any evidence or testimony.
And I agree that I don't think the fight will be made. There are two VERY big egos at the table, both of whom think they should get the lion's share of the money. And the guys who are doing the negotiating are probably least likely duo considering who they work for. Arum hates Mayweather, so I'm sure it hurts when Bob has to bend for the deal, and Oscar, well, Pac did retire him, I'm sure just sitting at the table hurts.

Let out a 'silent but deadly'.
Look over to a buddy and ask,
"Hey, did someone make popcorn?"
They will instinctively inhale very deeply (cuz hey, everyone loves the smell of freshly nuked popcorn).
Let hilarity ensue.

@myma1313:
I'm kind of the opposite. I have an electric brush at home, but whenever I'm traveling, I use a manual one.
It always amazes me that I can get just as much done in only ten strokes.
Which, by the way, is also how I got my first kid. Hey-yo!
Thanks! I'll be here all week, don't forget to tip your waitress!

I'm sure instead of using Michael Keaton, Warner Brothers would rather bankroll a reboot with some "edgy" and "gritty" director "in the same vein as Christopher Nolan".
Maybe with lots of shaky-cam.
Ugh.

@NanSage: I had the same reaction.
The problem I see with the rise of eBooks is that if the "small-minded twits" get a hold of the right tools, censorship and mass destruction of books can happen almost instantaneously. Whether through a viral approach (malware?) or a corporate one (buy out eBook companies?), my paranoid mind can see groups putting out an "update" that suddenly rewrites chapters of your favorite tome; replacing the magic references in Harry Potter with religious miracles, or replacing The Theory of Evolution with creationist myth in textbooks, or erasing the existence of "objectionable" books entirely.
I may not have a proper grasp on the legal or technical issues, but as much as gadget-lovers drool over the newest reader, the printed word may be more secure in the long run.
