VOTE: BEST ANDROID TABLET: Toshiba Thrive
The removable battery and connections were the selling point for me.

I have it as the ringtone for my phone and it always freaks someone out when I get a call.
The cloth found with the buried body was reminiscent of Moira's maid uniform - black cloth with a white frilly something. I had to look a few times to get it. I'm with you, she's trapped until her remains are unearthed and interred properly and she was manipulating Ben into doing so... perhaps possession while he was drugged?
There definitely appears to be some kind of connection between Tate and Constance - really, either as son or husband, they both fit the scene where she waved to him and he just slips away back into the house to me. I'll wait to see.
The line you're referring to, AceMcCloud, she says, "...except for one, who was a model of physical perfection... he was my gift. But I lost him to other things."

Crud, too late to edit - looks like the code that makes a link out of URLs captured the right-parenthesis.
How about just plain: [theoatmeal.com]

Kind of a reverse #5 and part of #3
POSSIBLE SPOILERS FOR INCARNATIONS OF IMMORTALITY SERIES BY PIERS ANTHONY
The 6th Book, For Love of Evil, is the story of, naturally, the Incarnation of Evil and it retells some of the scenes of the previous five books from Satan's point of view, where you see that he's just playing the part and isn't necessary completely evil as he appears.

Jumping on the "add-wagon" here...
In Fedora/RHEL, the package manager is "yum"
yum upgrade - to upgrade everything you have installed
yum install package - install a new package
yum remove package - removed an installed package
Easy.
Not all distros, I've noticed, have an auto-cleanup for /tmp and /var/tmp. If not, a simple "find /tmp -type f -mtime +15 -exec rm -f {} \;" in cron or on a regular basis will clean up regular files older than 15 days in /tmp. Why "regular files?" Probably not a huge issue on a desktop PC but I've noticed a few apps (like databases) like to put their FIFOs and sockets out in /tmp and if you delete that, it'll be down until fixed.
One thing to add to a non-/tmp files clean-up: the package managers like to drop new versions of package config files under a different name than the original, e.g. /etc/lvm/lvm.conf.rpmnew, or similar. These need to be reviewed after patching. Normally, if you don't have any customizations, you can just copy the file over the original and restart the application (or reboot).
System slow? A quick review of uptime, "ps -ef" and top will give you a VERY GENERIC idea of how your PC is performing. If you see processes running under your login but have no idea what they are, first, don't panic; it's possible there are zombie processes running from work you did days or months ago (depending on the last time you rebooted). Just kill them and move on. If weird things continue to happen when you're not doing them, then you can start to worry about something malicious.
Lastly, if you just can't find that file filling up your file systems, lsof is your friend. Occasionally, you could be editing a file and the /var/tmp cache file gets deleted (maybe you're holding open that file for 15 days or whatever) but because the file is still open, the file system can't actually delete it. When you look in /var/tmp, the file isn't there but it actually is still there ... just without a file system table index entry. In cases like this, you'll still be able to find it using lsof. Run it and grep for vi or tmp. The data is a bit daunting because it will list all the open files on your system but you're mostly concerned about the file name in the rightmost column.

Indeed.

I'm exactly the same way ... and I scored significantly higher than my right-handed sibling in all cognitive tests throughout high school and college.
I love the GPS tip. I've long been a proponent of not setting a "Home" in your GPS in case your GPS along with your garage door opener and/or keys get stolen.
EVERYTHING stands up to Battlefield Earth quite well.
Wow, I didn't think it was possible to be even more disappointed with this movie but here we are...
I've actually done this for years but I put down a plate and crack it on the plate. When doing multiple eggs, I leave the cracked shells on the side of the plate and when done, I just take the plate to the trash and slide the shells off and then rinse off the plate - super easy clean up.
I thought for sure this was going to be an article about sending an email FROM the future. Back to keeping a critical eye out for shenanigans today...
You can actually go to Google Calendars and get the code to embed a small calendar without having to load any extensions. I added the code in a frame to an html file locally that has other frames and now have a side bar that shows a few items that I like to keep an eye on. Unfortunately, this only works on Firefox. Still waiting for a more robust sidebar function for Opera.
Go to Google Calendars, click on "Settings" in the My calendars box (on the left), click on the calendar name link (normally your email address), and in the "Embed This Calendar" section, click on "Customize the color, size and other options" You can change the options and create exactly what you want in your own mini-calendar. Then cut and paste the code it gives you into an html file on your hard drive and follow the instructions in the link above to get that page to load in your sidebar.

I'm guessing we'll see these at ComicCon and DragonCon next year.
@CuriousYellow: It's the waiting while on the second eye that's the worst for me. It usually takes two or three tries for them to get it.
Battlefield Earth. I, too, have a high tolerance for crap and it's still the only movie that I've ever given up on and walked.
