Oh hell. 15 years ago, we plonked trolls into our Usenet killfiles and got on with our lives. Indeed, one reason – I’m convinced of this – that geeks took to the internet like ducks to water was that it gave them power over bullies. Now the state wants to take that power for itself. As usual.

How many? The world may never know.
That aside, it would be most illogical of you not to wish Leonard Nimoy a happy 83rd birthday.
However, I must point out that you should not, when extending your good wishes, to tell him to "Live long and prosper." At age 83 and with his commercial success, he obviously has done just that.
But you could logically wish him to live longer and continue to prosper.

3 Secret Service agents benched for boozing before Obama trip. Just how hard is it to recruit guys who won't get shitty on official travel?

How many does it take to get to the center?
Wouldnt that have more to do with the length of your tongue as opposed to the number of licks?

Homeopathic remedies recalled because they might actually contain medicine. Horrors!
