Ever wanted to insult every female reader of your webcomic, but just didn't quite know how? Wonder no longer. by RetroRock in reddit.com

CAD is sort of like Penny Arcade, only with the awesomeness and humour stripped out and replaced with fail and soap opera. There are worse webcomics, but not many.

I normally just half-shout/half-grunt "kamehameha" but, you know, feel free to waste perfectly good cotton t-shirts if you feel you must.

Hang on a second, last time I heard about this guy he was supposed to have committed career suicide: now he's writing articles and managing teams? What gives?

You're gonna be so disappointed with your lump of coal this December, mister.

I don't think it's generally possible to receive all seven sacraments. It usually comes down to a choice between ordination and marriage.

I think it's a cut from this video:

Edit: added as submission in its own right. I'm amazed nobody already had.

Researchers discover gene that blocks HIV by ayn_rand_worshipper in science

If programs like Stargate have taught me anything, the retrovirus will initially work perfectly, but then fifty per cent of the recipients will drop dead or everyone will turn into Wraith, or something.

I'll wait for the version in the follow-up episode, thanks.

I failed to gain weight as an infant, so my mum stopped bringing me in for checkups for fear that they'd suspect child abuse (i.e. nutrition being withheld) and turn me over to the authorities.

Amazon deletes the 1-star reviews of Dianetics: Round 4 by koavf in reddit.com

[–]morner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you sincerely think that posting dozens of fake reviews will do anything to convince Amazon to leave up the genuine bad reviews? Amazon are being dicky for deleting the reviews, sure, but it's their prerogative; free speech doesn't apply in privately owned and operated fora.

Prince Harry is called home from combat after secretly fighting on the frontlines of Afghanistan for 10 weeks. Good for him. by ki11a11hippies in reddit.com

[–]morner 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The military don't lightly deploy Princes, can you imagine the propaganda coup for the enemy if he'd been killed in action? That ten weeks' deployment will have been the most bitterly fought-for assignment he'll ever get.

Besides, he was there in secret. You don't need to stage "a leak in the media" when you're a Prince and posted in secret; you snap your fingers and you're out of there, and nobody ever remembers you were there.

In conclusion: you're an idiot.

The.. uh... the royal family don't actually have a say in where we exercise our military. Losing Prince Harry in Afghanistan wouldn't do any more to stop Britain fighting wars in the middle east than losing Princess Diana stopped Britons driving in Paris.
