I don't see the pic. Are you referring to the tug o war pic you already posted in another thread?

Argh, they got it wrong. Why do the press keep calling it "Blu-ray DVD"? DVD it ain't!

...you know , now that I look at the cartoon some more, if you rotate the perspective 90 degrees clockwise, it clearly shows that the DH DVD cartoon guy is dragging the Blu-ray Disc DVD (sic) over the finish line...

j/k :D :p

... even though Santa Claus in the judges chair does seem to be a mite bit confused..... and who could blame him? :)

in another sign the forces are aligning against Blu-ray :p

Red and Brown M&Ms (in this extremely scientific long term study involving a massive sample size) are more durable than Blue M&Ms


"Survival Of The Fittest
Date: 2007-08-30, 2:03PM EDT

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels.

Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them cracks and splinters. That is the "loser," and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.

I have found that, in general, the brown and red M&Ms are tougher, and the newer blue ones are genetically inferior.

I have hypothesized that the blue M&Ms as a race cannot survive long in the intense theater of competition that is the modern candy and snack-food world.



....now I ask you.. what color cases are red and brownish? which are blue??

:D :D :D
