    I'm pretty sure at this point Saddam's already figured it out.

  2. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

    Carl Sagan was a lawyer?

    1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

      No, he managed this through "expert" testimony to people who can't tell one scientific field from another. ("'e's a scientist dude...")

      1. WTF   11 years ago

        So....consensus?

  3. WTF   11 years ago

    NEEDZ MOAR LABELZ!!

    1. Swiss Servator ...etwas   11 years ago

      Always, WTF, always.

  4. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

    So why's he telling the executioner this? I mean the prisoner has clearly already escaped and humiliated the guard.

  5. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

    Unrelated... Prison Architect was on a rather substantial sale, so I bought it. I'm somewhat miffed that the only execution option for death row is Old Sparky. No lethal injection, no gas chamber, no hanging and no firing squad. And the firing squad it already had the in-game resources to handle (armed guards and whatnot).

  6. Suthenboy   11 years ago

    Looks like Bok read our comments yesterday.

    1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

      Doubt he reads comments. If he did, would he still bother with the Friday Funnies? Unless he's a masochist of course

      1. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

        Money dear Ozlander, and some variant of stockholm syndrome.

  7. Almanian!   11 years ago

    I don't get it.

    And it's awful - therefore, perfect.

    Happy Friday,. Reasonoids.

    1. Rufus J. Firefly   11 years ago

      It's Friday?

      Hey. Has anyone heard anything about Lou Reed?

      1. WTF   11 years ago

        Why, does he have a new album out?

        1. Swiss Servator ...etwas   11 years ago

          I think he is doing a new fight song for the Cleveland Browns!

      2. UnCivilServant   11 years ago

        Who's Lou?

  8. db   11 years ago

    So Marge Simpson finally snapped and killed her whole family?

  9. Will4Freedom   11 years ago

    I think he "phoned this one in".

  10. Longtorso, Johnny   11 years ago

    14 comments and not one David Carradine reference? You people make me sick.

    1. WTF   11 years ago

      Dude, that was like two years ago.

    2. Snark Plissken   11 years ago

      +1 Michael Hutchence

    3. Swiss Servator ...etwas   11 years ago

      Bob Crane?

      1. Longtorso, Johnny   11 years ago

        Bob Crane's best video work

        1. invisible furry hand   11 years ago

          I was rather hoping for one of home videos

    4. Scruffy Nerfherder   11 years ago

      +1 Ziploc

  11. sarcasmic   11 years ago

    "Better Call Saul"

    1. Certified Public Asskicker   11 years ago

      That's what I first saw too.

  12. Rich   11 years ago

    Good thing the hangee is white to avoid the cartoon being RACIST!

    Seriously, I predict that hanging will be considered cruel and unusual for Blacks.

  13. Loki   11 years ago

    Needz moar labelz.

  14. Torrevieja   11 years ago

    frankly, I don't really get it.
