Movie Review: ‘The Purge: Anarchy’ [Spoiler Alert!] [^]
Due to the nature of the site they tend to focus on the weaponry but I find his style of review quite funny. Enjoy.

I like his review, from what I've read about the movie he's probably dead on.
As I grow older I've found that pleasing everyone is impossible but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

missed it as well, I feel somewhat relived of my Droid Vs Crapple choice. A client of ours didn't like the fact that we were not all issued with iPhones. My phone my choice!

I love the sheer, majestic beauty of these images. I know that they are quite often altered to enhance them; nevertheless that does not detract from what you see.

Don't forget that the vast majority of astronomical images - especially those from space telescopes - are not (and are not intended to be) representations of what the human eye would see, so by definition they have been "altered" by using colors visible to humans to represent other wavelengths. As you note, though, this in no way detracts from the beauty of the images.
APOD also demonstrates that NASA has a sense of humor: look at the 1 April image for any year, but be prepared to explain to anyone nearby just why you're laughing. My personal favorite is the image posted on 1 April 2005 [^] which presents proof that there is water on Mars.

Q - what noise does a really small cat make?
A - μ[^]

Shouldn't that be cow? 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Training a telescope on one’s own belly button will only reveal lint. You like that? You go right on staring at it. I prefer looking at galaxies.

If your small cat says "cow", then I'd take it back and ask for a refund. 
For scientific / mathematical purposes, μ[^] is generally pronounced the ancient Greek way - [mŷː], or "mew". In modern Greek, it's pronounced [mi], or "me". Neither of which is close to "moo".
"These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined."
- Homer

I wonder if this is a us/uk thing; I've only ever heard it pronounced like moo...
