    For at least the last fifteen years I've believed my ICQ account was lost forever, however seeing your post now I decided one last time to try logging in by guessing the password. …

    Doesn't seem particularly surprising, since poof is (was? I haven't heard it in decades) a derogatory term for a gay man.

    Just that an article saying "group did evil thing X times" doesn't say anything good or bad about the group to me if I don't know how many times you would expect from any other sim…

    216,000 sounds like a lot. Does that make French Catholic priests more or less likely historically to be abusers than the average adult male? Can't get outraged until I find out.

    Sorry, I was trying to satirise the argument for why it should be Argentinian, where the fundamental (but generally unsaid) reason is "because it's close to us".

    If true, I think this would be the first ever case of a novel virus ever being developed in a lab and then accidentally released. If false, then it's yet another viral mutation / s…

    It may be an odd thing to pick up on, but I'm sure the concept of murder-by-exploding-cow didn't come from Savage Run. For one thing a character is murdered the same way in the fan…
