POPSListen To Your YouTube Comment Before Posting Not sure which is weirder--that YouTube now gives commenters the opportunity to listen to their comments out loud in order to better filter their idiocy, or that this feature was taken from an idea in an uber-geeky web comic.

POPS "Dudes, It's the 21st century Evolve! girl can be smart & sexy, science-y & sleek" ;-) "When physicist Lisa Randall posed for Vogue a couple of years ago, there were all sorts of outrageous criticisms of how she was playing into appearance-obsessed stereotypes and hurting the image of women in physics, blah, blah, blah. No one stopped to marvel at how incredible it was that Vogue -- which reaches millions of women around the globe each month who would never, in a million years, pick up a book or article about science -- chose to feature a woman scientist in its pages at all. If even a fraction of those millions of readers worldwide had their perceptions of female scientists changed for the better, huzzah! "

POPSxkcd says "boom-de-yadda!" I am a big sappy moosh who gets all teary-eyed and sniffly every time I watch the Discovery Channel ad this comic is based on. "I love the whole world - it's such a brilliant place." Boom-de-yadda!

POPSI've played this game!! Back in college I worked in the theatre's sceneshop, there were inevitably downtimes between projects, so bunch of us would have this exact contest. You'd be surprised how far you can extend one of those metal tape measurers before they bend!
