    Wait, where's all the outrage about Jimmy Kimmel dating his staffer?

    Did she get special privileges? Did he use his power and prestige to seduce a naive young writer who's barely over 30? Did he ever sleep with her while dating Sarah? Does he have a fold-out couch in his office? Has he ever told sex jokes about other celebrities?

    Oh, and also, did the former co-host of "The Man Show" create a hostile work environment? We demand to know!

    I thought half the point of getting take-out was so you didn't have to tip. Delivery, you tip. Eating in, you tip. Take-out is supposed to save you that 15-20%.

    @labyrinthine IS DOING THIS: If they do something additional for me, like if I ask them to go and get me a drink while I wait or whatever, then I'll give them a buck or two. Otherwise you don't get a tip for handing me something.

    @Dictator for Life: If I'm a regular and I'm getting takeout, I can usually come up with a buck or two to make it 10%. For me, it's less about principle and more about the relationship I have with the staff.

    If you're a world-famous celebrity, it's probably a good idea to tip anything that moves, just to save yourself the public abuse. (Then again, if I were a world-famous celebrity, I'd send a hanger-on to get my takeout.)

    $70 for steak and mac+cheese? Either it was for a few more people than just Miley and sister, or there's some Olympic-class bulimia going on in that household.

    Oh, and Rudy Giuliani is definitely a dick, and he's been one as long as he's been newsworthy. Between being a lawyer, a prosecuting attorney, a politician, and a prude, does anyone really expect him to be anything else?

    "Shtupping" and "putz" must be my favorite Yiddishisms of all times. Both these wonderful words, "Frumpracula" AND a Dickens reference? Fire the rockets! Do the hora! Adderall all around!

    Tell you what, Foster: I have a quickfire challenge for you. If you manage to work in "shtupping" in every item you post for the rest of the day, there will be a prize for you at the end.

    Totally late to the game, but your The Grind reference yesterday made this piss-poor weekend...uh...tolerable, at the very least. Now I'm going to sit back, and reflect on better days at the Jersey shore, doing bumps off a kitten's paw beneath the Howard Johnson in Asbury. It's true because it happened.

    Re: that Miley Cyrus story. I didn't know you're supposed to tip when you get take out. I thought the tip was for service, but if I'm not getting served, why would I?

    Maybe I'm just ignorant. Also, who gets Outback takeout?

    @sparklyharempants: Honestly? They work in restaurants. It takes them five to ten minutes for someone to take your order, process it, make sure it's right, and get it to you. Should it be this way? No! Is it this way? Yes! So you can either rebel against the dominant paradigm, or not stiff someone. Your call.

    Yeah,but Hans, you were so preoccupied with whether or not you could, you didn't stop to think if you should.

    You stood on the shoulders of geniuses to accomplish something as fast as you could and before you even knew what you had, you patented it and packaged it and slapped it on a plastic lunchbox, and now you're selling it, you want to sell it!

    @GitEmSteveDave_SameGreatTaste!: Incidentally I thought that one of the worst speeces in the movie. There isn't a scientist alive who didn't stand on the shoulders of geniouses - remember the quote from Sir Isaac Newton, circa 18th century?

    With us humans, the thing is that if we can do something, at least one of the six billion of us will. That's why it's best to do the questionable things publically for a good purpose, since if you don't, someone else will do the same in secret for nefarious ends.

    Still, I wonder what this guy is aiming at. Whatever the movie says, there's not much money or use in dino-birds in themselves. What theory is being proved, or discovery made with this experiment? That's what I'd like to know, but this bit of news doesn't tell us. Link to a more serious science news site about the matter, please.

    @Lightice: His point was, that unlike karate or excellent marksmanship, there was no discipline required. A man who can kill with his bare hands or shoot the eye out of a king of hearts from 1,000 yards off is not likely(I didn't say never) to do so if he's angry because his team lost. That kind of skill and knowledge also comes with discipline from the many hours/days/months/years spent honing the skill.

    What Hammond's scientists had done was read the work of others and took the next step. What that means is they didn't have to deal with the consequences/outcomes of the previous research. They also weren't in it FOR research. They were in it for pure profit. Before they had a chance to test every outcome, they went ahead full steam and cranked out dinosaurs, with no guarantee that they could not escape the park and become an invasive species that could kill people. Satler's part also reinforced that point when she brought up that they had plants in the visitor center that could kill a child if they put one LEAF in their mouth.
