Mar 29, 2009 - The Media are NOT our friends, The Media DO NOT have to tell the truth ( ever ), The Media Do NOT have to report actual facts. News reports are just news reports based on someones opinion not what is real. WAKE UP!

Mar 31, 2009 - you mean "the media is not" and "the media does not" . You're welcome.

Apr 17, 2009 - 12:00 The reason that people SO OFTEN do this is because we think we might find the £20 - Whereas if we found the extra ticket, it would be useless. £20 is still £20 when you have 2 of them A ticket is now NOTHING when we have two of them - Especially afte the show is over.

May 19, 2009 - the media is owned by the elite bankers which own the fed too(the fed owns every dollar there is on the planet(more than 100 trillion) and charges interest): THE NEW WORL ORDER IS REAL

Jun 1, 2009 - Gave another perspective. Thanks.

mikeemeryy Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - you're wrong. "Media" is the plural form of "Medium". if you know anything about grammar and subject/verb agreement, then you would know that it is in fact "media are not" and "media do not". You're welcome.

dustinmullen1 Says:

Jun 3, 2009 - I stand corrected.

Jun 11, 2009 - is this where geico got its idea for "I'm the money you could be saving on your car insurance"

Jun 25, 2009 - The answer to the 1st question optimizes my thoughts, excellent speaker

TheSmilesRevolution Says:

Jul 3, 2009 - I am trying to spread a bit more happiness on YouTube by encouraging people to join the Smiles Revolution - a movement to make YouTube comments and videos more kinder and appreciative. If you like the idea, check out my channel - I am not doing this for personal benefit, but because I would like YouTube to be a more accepting and happy place. Please pass it on and let others know! Thanks.

incrediblejessen Says:

Jul 8, 2009 - "I am not doing this for personal benefit, but because (I would like)" then you are doing it for personal benefit my friend, no shame in it

TheSmilesRevolution Says:

Jul 9, 2009 - Oh, I guess so, sorry! I just meant, I wasn't trying to be one of those "sub me plz" people, I was trying to be a bit more polite about it! lol

latestranger Says:

Jul 9, 2009 - This is hilarious - In the question about the Rs (Are there more English words that have R as the first or third letter?), I immediately thought "herd" and assumed there were more with the third letter. And then, I immediately assumed I was wrong. Hehe.

Aug 9, 2009 - re $20 and lost ticket; if you've only got $20 in your wallet, why would you spend it on a ticket when you can't get a meal to go along with the evening? if you had $40 in your wallet, that would allow for fun in addition to replacing the lost ticket. it's not about how much money you've lost, it's about how much money you had left over.

tenrecc Says:

Aug 12, 2009 - That's not what he's saying. In the second option you had $40 dollars, you lost $20 along the way and you spend the remaining $20 on a ticket. In both options you end up at the theatre with $20 and no ticket. This is in no way a question about "how much money you had left over."

vwdriver19 Says:

Aug 31, 2009 - What was the very last question that was asked? (The guy with the super long beard...) I couldn't understand him.

xTRUExHATEx Says:

Sep 3, 2009 - This reminds me of how every year when I mention that I'm going to get a flu shot there's always someone who "knows a guy" who got sick / was hospitalized / died because of the flu shot and swears to never get one because of the danger. I have NEVER convinced this person (and s/he's different every year) of the silliness of this given that the odds of dying from the flu are so much higher than a side effect from a flu shot.

Oct 5, 2009 - 23:20 is actually not accurate, one word: Asteroid

marcrr12 Says:

Oct 7, 2009 - I agree with Jay that lottery players dont necessarily have to be stupid. I've written a follow-up article on this: spreadinghappiness (dot) org - would love to hear your comments

txnygotw Says:

Oct 29, 2009 - He's asking something like how can people be persuaded to be more concerned about aging. (Rather than be concerned about certain ilnesses that actually occur because of aging.)

CathySander Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - I agree. Its not the quantity, but the quality of life, that matter. It would be bad if we were dying and realising we could have done more, or regretted it.

CathySander Says:

Nov 1, 2009 - I'm a little curious as to what Gilbert means by 'irrational', because he seems to use the word often.
