No it isn't. Portsmouth the city extends beyond the island, and the island isn't called Portsmouth.

The videos and podcasts are still where it's at, although the podcast especially would be a lot better if Jack O'Brien reined in his love of hip-hop. I've got nothing against hip-hop, but it really doesn't suit the content and he goes on for way too long about it in the bumpers.

Good lord, this. I've stopped listening to the pod casts just because of how much time he wastes on whatever hip hop song he likes that day.

Cracked is OK by me for the most part but their website layout, load times and ads are rough. I don't know why so many people here hate it so much.

I know when I read any of the articles that deal with history, there's a lot of gross oversimplifications and things that modern scholarship has more or less completely discredited. It's sort of par for the course for a pop-x website, but it's still rubs me the wrong way when it comes up.

Shockingly it works in Canada. I would be so happy if being a Dominion got us access to the BBC online services in general though.

BBC shows are a funny thing for overseas watchers. I once tried to find Region 1 QI and Peep Show DVDs, and evidently they just don't exist. But I'm also not allowed to watch it online legit, so :filez: it is I guess.

I remember it from the 'Terrible Webcomics' thread.

The basic premise was that a woman born without arms has these floating mechanical prosthetic hands and she fights giant monsters. But it's hugely fetishy with skintight bodysuits the like, even by comic standards. And they don't do anything interesting with the concept, she just basically has invisible arms and gloves.

Turns out the author is just lovely at drawing arms.

My favorite part about this picture is that it's actually one hell of a resume.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Of course resumes and cover letters are often about sussing out those hidden details about how dysfunctional an individual actually is. If somebody wants to shoot themselves in the face with their resume, that just makes the hirers job easier.

Can you not just do private tours after hours or something? I went to a conference in Orlando a few years back, and they rented out a big section of Universal Studios for an evening "networking" event, which consisted of us getting real drunk and riding on roller coasters with no lines all night. It still took like 10 minutes to walk through the line area of some of it though, I can't imagine actually standing in line for that.

Not necessarily, depending on how much ballast is in those buckets. But it would likely destabilize the thing, causing one side to drop, and then the contents of the buckets to spill.

So does the UK just have a stable of actors that do nothing but show up on fake game shows or something?

The best thing about it is that they've figured out that real game shows were bullshit. So instead of nonsense like @Midnight, where they inexplicably cling to the illusion of the game show format with short trivia responses, the BBC knows that all you really need to do is put a bunch of comedians in a room and let them talk to each other, and the "game" element is just the host throwing out a conversation topic.

I love that that particular pseudoscience is a direct reaction to another equally ridiculous pseudoscience, trying to justify "Japan still cool!"

Ultimately deriving from ideas of historical scientific racism, which was originated in early twentieth century's Europe, Japan used blood type as a countermeasure against it.
