I order lab supplies for one of the leading cancer researchers in the world. I bring death to thousands of mice annually.

Large Marge scared the living sh*t out of me as a kid. I never watched that movie again.

And I second all the comments about Return to Oz. I think the directors of these movies hated children.

Happy Birthday Matt. Enjoy.

Seriously, I hope you have a great day today. Thanks for sharing Metafilter with us.

Metafilter Prime can only be factored by itself and ponies.

As long as it is before September 1, when I bring balance to owillis' MeFi Continental Translocation by moving back to LA, I'm all for it.

This is most definitely a bad idea. Sometimes threads veer off into completely new directions, or a later post triggers some additional insight. Since you can't account for these things beforehand, an arbitrary limit on the number of posts seems ill-advised. Implementing such a rule would preclude a lot of good, thought-out posts.

This whole matter brings to my mind the controversy of those pro-anorexia sites that are scattered around the web. Those sites take the same attitude that these women do: "I like it, it's my body, and no-one is getting hurt". But of course, someone is getting hurt. What makes these "girl-lovers" even more insidious is that the person they are in denial about hurting is not themselves, but innocent children. On the posting boards at the new site that these people have set... [more]

I don't know about MeTa Ufez Jones, but for MeFi, I bet it's thread 1142 with 1538 comments as of today (more added all the time).

clavdivs' last posted on Monday, so I don't think he qualifies as missing, although he is creeping up to that 48 hour missing person's legal threshold.

I'm thinking that a lot of people agree with this. The double post is easier to understand, and the fact that tagline for the first post is simply "Columbus, OH" vs "Wendy's founder dead." People skimming the posts are far more likely to be attracted to the second post. Not to mention the fact that it is above the first post, and thus gets read before the original post by people scrolling down the screen.

What I'm talking about are these icons:




Maybe, and I know this is asking a lot, Matt could implement a system where users could vote on double posts, and after a certain amount of unique votes were collected, an icon would be placed next to the post. Or, you could go further and have the post automatically deleted.

The reason for this, IMO, would be to take some of the long-term workload off of Matt. I... [more]

Wet [Day of the week]:
I have not ever posted a inflammatory remark.

No, that is exactly what you did here, and I called you on it. I don't care that you post anonymously. So do I. I don't care that you post front page links to places the MeFi police deem "unacceptable." I've had my share. I don't care that you spell incorrectly/differently. I hate spelling.

The point is that I "trolled" you for a different... [more]
