Pretty tough actually. You know it’s a quality product when it’s 25 years old, and can still work, even after being frozen, submerged in alcohol, dropped from a two story building, and run over by car. By “quality”, I’m talking about the plastic cartridge, not the actual games. Seeing how the majority of NES games are abominations, and do not deserve the Nintendo “Seal of Quality” that they flaunt deceivingly on their stickers.

In 25 years, your Super Mario Galaxy disc will probably still work, if you take care of it; but will your Wii work? Never underestimate the power of the NES. I’m sure they’ll still work in another 25 years.

Funny, or messed up? You decide. That poor cat has no idea what the hell gravity is, what the hell is happening, or who the hell that evil human was who pulled the leash, making him barrel roll like crazy.

This is logical. Cats always land on their feet. Toast always lands butter down.

Friggin’ Huge! http://www.geekstir.com/how-big-were-dinosaurs http://www.geekstir.com/how-big-were-dinosaurs#comments Mon, 06 Jul 2009 22:25:02 +0000 Mathue Shell http://www.geekstir.com/?p=4951 How Big Were Dinosaurs

This chart is pretty mind boggling. I cannot even imagine what life would be like today with such giant animals still living. I guess it’s a good thing they’re extinct. We’d probably still be living in caves and throwing poop.

I’m guessing the person who discovered the Supersaurus Vivianae breed was a comic book fan. The other paleontologists and scientists probably laughed at his name for it. At least it’s a better name than Erectopus. Yes, there’s a real dinosaur called Erectopus. Thank you Wikipedia.
