    OT. I found this awesome (yet old) video of a polar bear trying to eat adult walruses while looking up walrus haulouts. He attacks and really annoys them but they are just too massive.

    1. Suthenboy   11 years ago

      "...increasingly desperate polar conditions are pushing them to ever more ambitious attacks."

      I knew that would end up being global warming propaganda.

      As I understand it the polar bear population is increasing. Also, young male bears are pushed out into the hinterlands to carve out their own territory and often end up wandering around alone and desperate.

      It is amazing to me how these liars take ordinary situations that have always existed in nature and try to paint them as evidence of the sky falling.

      1. Zeb   11 years ago

        It's also normal for polar bears to swim long distances in open water.

        The video of them attaching Walruses is very amusing. I think that a lot of enviros have this odd picture of nature as being all idyllic and perfect, where the reality is that being hungry and desperate at certain times of year is just part of life for lots of wild animals.

      2. mad.casual   11 years ago

        As I understand it the polar bear population is increasing.

        And I knew that the Ursine population in general was falling well before the polar bears were in danger because of global warming.

        The bears that are the most endangered live in the most temperate climates, you'd think there'd be some notion of species being more tolerant of/adaptable to the warm and cold.

  3. Hyperion   11 years ago

    I thought that the government had already stamped out that evil crypto currency stuff.

  4. DEATFBIRSECIA   11 years ago

    Don't know how long this'll be around, since it's one of those rotating ads, but you really have to see this:

    http://pagead2.googlesyndicati.....7912108403

    She's "better than Reagan," yet hasn't even been elected! Wow, just wow.

    1. Hyperion   11 years ago

      How was it that Reagan quoted that when he said that businesses don't create jobs? I can't remember...

      1. Cytotoxic   11 years ago

        "Tear down this economy"

    2. Suthenboy   11 years ago

      I saw that earlier.

      *puke*

    3. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

      How is anyone's intelligence not insulted by that? Even if you liked her?

  5. Paul.   11 years ago

    What does a Bitcoin ATM get you? Does it virtually give you your money?

    1. Cytotoxic   11 years ago

      No, it really gives you your virtual cryptological money.

      1. A Secret Band of Robbers   11 years ago

        The correct term is cryptozoological money.

        1. Scruffy Nerfherder   11 years ago

          So your saying that Bitcoin is the preferred currency of Yetis and the Chupacabra?

          +1 Bigfoot Commercial "Never leave the cave without it"

          1. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

            Doez Barack know Michelle uses bitcoin?

    2. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

      "What does a Bitcoin ATM get you?"

      Put on a list.

      1. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

        Of course, what doesn't?

    3. mad.casual   11 years ago

      What does a Bitcoin ATM get you?

      I think it'll get you to realize that an ATM that dispenses 10% less money today than it did yesterday or tomorrow isn't worth any more than one that charges you 1% every day.

  6. Paul.   11 years ago

    "...scanning your government id"

    So... bitcoin is racist?

    1. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

      Not per se, but it's only for rich folk so end result is the same.

  7. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

    Is it backed by Hops?

    1. Zeb   11 years ago

      Flax.

      1. AlmightyJB   11 years ago

        Hemp is the new flax.

  8. mad.casual   11 years ago

    I love 'the future of money' line used to describe a skeuomorph.
