Nope. If it's funny to you, it's funny.

Why did that advert on the TV for some hair product (I think it was Pantene) censor the word 'mum'?

 

[Rossiya]

Because it wasn't recognised as a word? Only "mom" was? Offensive to Muslims/blacks?

Having not seen it, probably a play on aging being somewhat taboo.

Can anyone explain this free healthcare that Alaskans get? I went to www.alaska.gov and didn't find any info on it. Well, nothing obvious.

According to this, "approximately 17.7% of the population remains uninsured", which is above the national average. As for the portion that gets state funded insurance, remember that Alaska is the most socialist state in the union, and derives most of it's revenue from taxing oil exports.

According to this:

Only 5.6% get "Other public" insurance, which is the only category for state funded health care, unless Medicaid and Medicare include those too. And the % uninsured in Alaska is higher than the US average, so Alaska isn't quite as good as I thought.

I recently bought the soundtrack album for Gladiator, but a problem happened after I ripped it to my computer. What do I put down as the artist for the individual songs? I already done the overall album artist and the composers, but I don't know what to put down for the artist for each song. I tried reading the booklet but that didn't help.

Of course that only helps if you're looking for composer (which in this case, I would put as artist for organizational reasons). Or are you looking for the performer's too?

 

[Flying Pig]

I tend to put the composer

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerard did the Gladiator soundtrack.

EDIT: Oh, I see the post already says that. Carry on!

Is it legal to pretend to disperse rioters with nerve gas? They're spraying tear gas, but they're decked out in full military-grade hazmat suits, act very carefully when handling the "nerve gas", and then issue orders on loudspeaker for all units to evacuate the area.

 

[Flying Pig]

I don't think they want to get hit by the tear gas. It's not much fun.

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Nah, some people still go on rioting through the gas, covering their faces with rags. I doubt they'd do the same if the gas was perceived as deadly.

 

[Flying Pig]

I was referring to the police!

When Captain Kirk says, "Captain's log, stardate: supplemental," what the hell is "supplemental"?

Means he's supposed to make an entry a day. If he has something to add after the day's entry, you make a supplemental entry.

 

[Atticus]

I remember this question

Is it true that the US gov't takes random computers from random people returning from abroad? If so, why?

remained unanswered while reading this.

 

[Kerozine]

What is the difference between a social democrat and a democratic socialist?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

My impression is that social democrats are not socialists; they are only mixed economy fans. Democratic socialists are Marxists who believe Marxism can be achieved through democracy.
