That's ~30 years old news with as much credibility as all other conspiracy to theories. It's been refuted by everybody with even a basic understanding of history. We did this at university when I was a freshman as a kind of intellectual fiinger exercise.

Insurance guy speaking: If you just look at the absolute number of crashes per person than, yes, women drive safer. But that doesn't give you the whole picture, you have to put it into perspective by looking at the relative numbers. If you take into consideration that on average men spend a lot more time driving, statistics show that men are involved in far less accidents, meaning crashes per kilometer. While that being said, men's crashes are a lot more likely to be fatal and more expansive due to travelling father and usually faster. And finally, it's men under 25 and above 65 who cause the most accident among the male drivers and shouldn't be allowed to drive, at least from an insurance companies point of view. So, while women are more likely to oopsie daisy your side mirror in the parking lot, they propably won't kill you.

I'll let Mr. Krabs answer that on: "Money!" It's simply cheaper to produce books the way they are made now.

That comic is so wrong it hurts. 1) Troll physics at its best. To make it simple: A nerf gun transmits kinetic energy via the bolt it shoots and by that you have an action and an equal reaction. Therefore, the force is applied equally to both astronauts. 2) A normal gun would work perfectly well in space up to the time it becomes to cold to operate. Oxygen from the environment is not required as the gun uses the oxygen stored in the ammunition. That is the reason why modern firearms can be fired under water.

That was so annoying, but what can you expect of Bugfesta. Great game nevertheless.

We couldn't start a war even if we wanted to. Given the present state the Bundeswehr is in, it wouldn't even be able to defend Germany let alone attack anyone. Well, maybe if we had a few years to prepare, it's not raining and Luxemburg had a national holiday, we might take it. But my money would be on Luxemburg.

Oh for fuck's sake, nobody in Europe has free healthcare! We have universal healthcare which might seem like it's free but is something totally different.

I don't think this is about grammatical gender. Though I won't pretend to know enough Japanese to go into a full linguistical analysis, Japanese does have a whole spectrum of words for the first person singular and their usage depends on lots of factors. Some of which clearly indicate whether the person speaking is male or female. Using those incorrectly will cause amusement for the native speakers.

That's actually pretty accurate but most of us also know that there's a giant rectangle in the middle called Kansas where nobody lives.

It's actually ~93 billion light years in diameter, you took the radius. But that's beside the point. The light traveling towards us is ~13 billion years old but the space this light had to cross to reach us is expanding at an ever increasing rate. Light is, logically, limited by the speed of light but space can do whatever the hell it wants. Hence, the seeming discrepancy.

So wrong that it hurts. Actually, Germany and the Soviet Union were both pariah states after WW1 and cooperation had already begun with the Treaty of Rapallo in 1922, eleven years before Hitler become chancellor of Germany. The so called Black Reichswehr trained within the USSR as early as 1922, way before the NSdAP gained traction in German elections. Later, due to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact which entailed the partition of central and eastern Europe between Germany and the USSR in 1939 nobody in the Soviet Union was surprised.
