Not a phrase, but a word that never made sense to me is "oxymoron". The only thing my wife and I can come up with is that there are probably no morons studying at Oxford, therefore, if there were an Oxford moron, it would describe a contradictory thing. Anyone know how close we are to the truth?

In 7th or 8th grade, our math teacher (who was a History major in college) gave me and some of my friends a detention for talking in class. Were we talking? Yes. But, we were talking about math concepts later on in the book while said teacher was gossiping with the other ditzy girls. I'd be...

Dammit. Dave Matthews. On the plus side, he'd probably have some weed on him.

Stephen Fry, Alan Rickman, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Laurie. Not necessarily in that order. Hm...I sense a pattern...

I'm not sure which is worse. I gave my forearm a buckle fracture when a pebble locked up the wheels on my roller blades the summer after 6th grade. Fast forward about ten years. I took my newly sharpened French knife to a large portion of Parmesan cheese. My hand slipped off the blade end and...

Aye. What, you want more content? Fine. I think DNF should have been shelved after five years. At that point, you either know you're going to make a great game or you're not. If you keep pouring money into a hole and getting nothing in return for it, then maybe you should turn off the...

Oh, probably glacial HCl. Or mercury. Or benzene. Or hexane. It was fun being a chem major in uni.

These are the things I know about Wales (I'm an American): Rob Brydon, and that a sheep tied to a post in Cardiff is a leisure centre.

While I understand that dictionaries are only reference works, it does make sense for them to be used as some sort of standard. I mean, if the dictionary says that a word is used one way, and this is the way that %99.99 of people use it, then why should it make sense to use it another way. In...

I haven't decided whether Canada Crapcast or Canada Capcast is a better name. I mean, the former is just an awesome fuck you. But the latter is a more subtle, "Here we decided to release this service just for Canadians who have to deal with shitty, expensive internet caps so we can still get our...

Really? Then that's a usage I've never heard before. So as not to seem like a smart-ass, I checked it against dictionary.com and they had no usage of it as a verb. I'm not trying to quibble, but it must be incredibly rare. Besides, I would think the verb form to be fenestrate, not fenestration...

Eh, not quite. Fenestration actually refers to windows, as in the placement and structure thereof; not of throwing people into them. Likewise, if something is fenestrated, it has windows or openings, usually many of them. OnT: I like the word rhotacism. It means the excessive use of the...

As the proud owner of an Ibanez SR506 6 string bass and a Dean Sledgehammer 4 string bass, I feel I must weigh in with my opinion. First, T-birds have horrendous neck dive, as has already been said. Second, more strings = more options = better in my opinion. Obviously, if you're never going to...

The last song you posted sounds like maybe Fall of Troy listen to SikTh as well.

I can see why PtH wear SikTh shirts. I can hear the influence in their music. I'm gonna have to get me some of their music, it's great!
