I'm great, but Caltrops has really gone downhill since Queerio said goodbye fore by Jerry Whorebach 05/08/2009, 3:31am PDT
Hey, have you seen Fringe? It's fucking stupid. On the last episode, the FBI identified an immolated woman by her dental records. And by that I mean, they scanned her jawbone into a computer and it cross-referenced her teeth against a national database to produce her name and address. That's so far from how dental identification really works I wouldn't even know where to begin.

Later, another woman was abducted near a warm pane of glass, so Pacey from Dawson's Creek used a special machine he invented to read the distortions in the glass like the grooves in a vinyl record (or the bowl in that one X-Files episode), playing back the sounds of her kidnapping. One, that's impossible, and two, even if it were possible, each successive soundwave would've distorted any impressions made by the previous one, creating the aural equivalent of a thousand pictures scratched on top of one another.

Okay whatever though, because that bit of pseudoscience set up the best line of the episode and possibly of all TV ever. On the recording was the sound of a phone being dialed. Everyone was like "how do we know what number those tones correspond to?" And that's when the blonde FBI agent stepped forward, whipped out her iPhone, and said, "There's an app for that."

Not pointing any fingers, but anyone who watches that show is retarded.
