  • Which New Orleans players are likely to be suspended for bountygate?

    John Vilma was pretty much the ringleader and he'll surely be suspended.

    Roman Harper was among the league leaders in violent penalties (2 roughing the passer, 2 unnecessary roughness penalties, and a personal foul).

    Those seem like the two most likely.

    Or will the league suspend players that even took part in the pool, regardless of whether they actually acted on the bounties when on the field?

  • Romance movie - unhappy ending?

    I'm tired of movies where one of the characters realizes at the last minute they're marrying the wrong person and returns to the true love they broke up with in the past.

    I'm looking for at least one movie where hero's lover dumps him at the end of the movie to return to her former lover/fiance, etc.

  • What player scored for two teams the same night?

    In Dec 19, 2007 NBA games, Shawn Marion scored 23 points and 10 rebounds for the Suns in a 3 point loss to the Mavericks and had 1 rebound for the Heat in a 3 point loss to the Hawks.

    That's pretty impressive, but what player scored as a member of two different teams in the same game?

  • Your dog or your girlfriend/boyfriend?

    A couple I know had a problem. The guy and his dog moved in. The dog bit the woman's kid. The woman said the dog had to go. The dog went and the guy went with him.

    The scene just reminded me of the Harlan Ellison story, "A Boy and His Dog".

    The reason for having to decide doesn't matter. Just the choice: If forced to decide between your dog or the significant other you just moved in with, which would you give up?

    (I'm going to be interested how the sexes break out on this.)

  • Auto insurance dispute?

    My vehicle was broadsided in a parking lot by a person backing out of their parking space. There wasn't any visible damage, but after the accident, my vehicle vibrates after the accident.

    The other driver's insurance company sent an appraiser out and the appraiser said $300 damage to the tire and surrounding area was done before the accident. The $300 is below the deductible on my insurance, so I don't see them becoming too concerned about the appraisers action.

    How can I fight this without paying for independent appraisals and legal costs more than the damage to the vehicle? Do insurance companies do this sort of thing just because they know the cost of fighting them will be more than the cost of the repair?

  • Will you use al-Qaeda's "Ask a Terrorist" website?

    Newsweek article: http://www.newsweek.com/id/81196

    Al Qaeda is setting up a website where you can ask Ayman al-Zawahiri questions.

    Personally, I think it's a rip-off. I asked him the concentration of phosphorous I would need in the emitter of a BJT transistor to get a threshold voltage of 2.3 V (Chapter 6, question 17 of "Understanding Solid State Devices") and his reply was "2".

    Aaaarrgh! That guy's an even bigger idiot than I am!

  • What does gravity smell like?

    Explaining exactly what gravity is can be difficult, so maybe it's better to start out small by identifying its characteristics.

  • How do you get rid of country songwriters?

    My wife has left and hasn't talked to me in four months, my daughter asked me to bail her boyfriend out of jail, one of my sons posted a picture of himself on myspace holding a machine gun, my other son was broadsided in our car by a hit and run driver, a lightning strike fried two of my TVs, my cable modem, and a VCR, and my dog died. The number of country songwriters in my front yard has gotten out of control. I tried firing a warning shotgun blast over their heads, but they thought that was a signal to start a country music festival and hoedown. A friend suggested playing Metallica at full volume, but another friend pointed out that would violate the Geneva Convention. Is there a legal, humane way to get these guys out of my front yard?

  • HP a622n won't power up?

    The light on the power button blinks, as does the light on the back of the power supply, but nothing else happens. Is this a power supply problem or is it more likely I have a different problem?

    Addtional details: About two weeks ago, lightning surge through my cable system fried my cable modem, two TVs, and a VCR. I wasn't able to configure my new cable modem for the Ethernet connection and had to use the USB port.
