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

Yes, thought it was funny enough to give laugh to others.

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
