For those who don't want to watch the whole 90 mins, here's the four steps those turn obesity around in kids (and presumably adults): 1. No sugary drinks -- Only milk and water. Juice is no good for you. 2. Always have fibre with your carbohydrates -- this helps your body counter any bad effects from eating carbs. 3. Wait 20 minutes for second portions. 4. Equal every minute at the screen, doing exercise (pretty damned tough to maintain, he admits). Fructose is the same as ethanol, but without the buzz. All the same side-effects and damage to your body.

And... what's her take on gay marriage? I'm intrigued.

The Queen doesn't interfere with our government, we're a democracy, not a fascist state.

Completely agree. (Also, wtf Luftmensch? Was that an attempt to troll or what?)

Yeah, same here. I don't recall gay marriage being that much of a big deal here in the UK. I mean it was cool when a lot of gay celebs started getting married, but I don't recall it being all that controversial.

It's bit late for Christmas, but it's still hilarious...

Woot.

It's almost worth buying a tablet device just to be able to read them Speaking of which, I was reading the first issues of Your Sinclair (actually Your Spectrum) from 1984 last night (so much fun) and stumbled across this doozy: I'm now more convinced than ever that immature men essentially pushed women away from computers -- most of the hardcore techy articles in the same issue, including machine code programming tips, were written by women. 10 years later and women would only be doing the art layouts for computer magazines.

Fair enough. If anything, it seems like the drink/driving analogy doesn't work at all. You'd have to ban cars and/or alcohol to stop drink driving completely, and neither of those are feasible solutions because of the problems they would cause. So what's left? Well they can make it illegal to have an open container of alcohol in the car -- even if it's being drunk by a passenger. They can stop drive-throughs from serving alcohol. They can allow police to issue breathalyser tests. They pretty much do everything they can to prevent/discourage it except banning cars and alcohol -- which would be worse than the problem they're trying to solve. With weapons, it's difficult to believe that banning them would create more problems than they would solve -- although pro-gun owners often try to claim that that's exactly what would happen. I'm surprised no-one has mentioned it so far, but I'm glad they haven't: I've seen folk make statements like, "they banned weapons in Australia, and now home invasions have gone through the roof!" -- except the stats don't support that at all. The bottom line is that people will believe what they want to believe, regardless of what the facts state. We're irrational beings Which just brings me back to the idea that change can't happen until the society in question is ready for it. And America isn't ready for it yet, if you ask me.

Captain Mullett still hasn't forgiven you.

Nice! Sounds awesome.

We're officially old Also, DreamWeb stinks. There I said it!

I think the joke is: "Here's me as James Bond... on an N64 Cartridge!". I think there's some unintentional humour in him not wearing contacts.

As I said before, the "tools" for drunk driving are a car AND alcohol, which ARE illegal together. You can't even legally drive with an open container of alcohol in the car. And, of course, Prohibition WAS tried in the US, but it caused more problems than it solved. The cure can't be worse than the illness, and banning vehicles would be hugely detrimental to the US. Same goes for alcohol.

You can't even buy the DVDs here. Nobody has ever heard of it!

Bottom line: it's an awesome costume.

This is me...

The future is here...

Well damn, I think I've stumbled upon Amiga Power PDFs, too. http://www.bombjack.org/commodore/amiga/magazines/amiga-power.htm

Oh man. Forget I said anything!

This isn't true, as I've just discovered! :-(

And exciting!

I wasn't too much of a fan of Season 4.0, but they definitely picked it up again with Season 4.5... and Season 5 is just around the corner. (Yay!) Here's a clip that kind of works out of context...

Speaking of awesome cartoons... The Venture Bros. is probably my favourite. It's too character based just to take a snippet from, though.
