From "Rob Banzai" on Ars Technica reguarding "Cloverfield":
No one really likes blowing up L.A. because we have fewer landmarks. After you take out the Hollywood sign and Capitol Records you're pretty much done. "OMG HE'S GOING TO STEP ON THE BEVERLY CENTER!" just doesn't build much anxiety.
Plus the buildings are so short you'd see Godzilla coming from a looooong way away.
The big fella would probably get frustrated from having to stomp on three story buildings instead of rows of towering skyscrapers filled with hipsters.

Today's quote (Punkadyne Labs (Punkwalrus))
The real question is, when mere human beings tell you silly things like "the? demons in hell believe He is the son of God but they are not in heaven." What is it in you that fails to see that as childish, archaic, mythical nonsense? When I read the bible, I never think "that's probably what God would have said". I think "that's probably what 1st century goat herders would have said". - DickJohnson3434 in a Youtube comment

I saw this in someone's response on a
Creationist Science Fair:
"And all those exclamation points? Five? A sure sign of someone who wears his underpants on his head." - Terry Pratchett, "Maskerade"
It reminded me of a quote from Firesign Theater's album, "Eat or Be Eaten," where the new Ambassador arrives in a country called Barbaria:
Ambassador: I'm here to take over the American Embassy.
Customs Official: Oh that's lots of fun! We get together and do that every weekend! But you need a lot of men with underwear on their heads and guns!
