A famous video game console created by Sony. Well-known for its many, many 3rd party games. This relatively free and unrestricted competition of publishers and developers accompanied by a lack of serious 1st party support has earned this system a reputation synonymous with capitalism.
Most of the games for the PS2 are not produced by Sony. And there are more well-reviewed 3rd party games than 1st party games.

One of the few great people to have their own Pokemon named after him (Empoleon). Other people on this list: Jackie Chan (Hitmonchan), and Bruce Lee (Hitmonlee). It takes a LOT to get a pokemon named after you, such as being a legend (Infernape: Son Goku) or deity (Torterra: legendary Iroquois world turtle),a gay decoration (Chimecho: wind chimes) or even a scientific phenomenon (Rayquaza). Sometimes, finding a name for a Pokemon is just as easy as watching Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, drinking too much cough syrup, or some combination of all three.
Dude, Empoleon is "Emperte" in Japanese...Nintendo's really down with naming their intellectual properties after real people like Napoleon Bonaparte. What do you wanna bet there's gonna be one named after Charlemagne, or the Pope?

1. the main process behind evolution, as stated by Charles Darwin. Also known as survival of the fittest, meaning those with superior traits are more likely to pass on their genes to the next generation.
This is how life on Earth has progressed for millions of years, driven by instincts encoded into the DNA of all living things. But sadly, as a result of several factors, including exponential intelligence, irrational emotions, etc, the species Homo sapiens is slowing down in terms of evolution. Due to the successful creation of societies and advancements in the sciences of medicine, humans have become exempt from the laws of natural selection, leading to degeneration within the species.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A RACIST OPINION IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. THIS IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH CRAP LIKE SOCIAL DARWINISM OR BULLSHIT LIKE THAT. The point is, civilization has brought physical evolution of humanity to a halt. Medical and genealogical studies have revealed that those living in less industrialized or progressed regions or eras, differences in hygiene and anatomical knowledge aside, were more healthy and adaptable than people living in high-level civilizations. Or something like that.
Anyways, that's my opinion. Natural Selection doesn't apply to humans as long as humans stay indoors. Due to lapses in judgment, the "Unnatural Selection" that we have imposed on ourselves will bring doom to our species. Have a nice day!

fanaticalreligiousperson1: Natural selection doesn't exist!
concernedrationalperson2: True, in humanity's case. Otherwise, you're retarded.

1. Battle.net StarCraft slang, short for Infested Terran, usually used by Terran players like aka_Pyro when asking a Zerg ally if they would like a spare Command Center to infest.
When someone offers you the opportunity to do this, it is advised that you use it. Nothing cooler than pissing off the enemy with inf terran drops near their resources. Also, when someone offers you this chance, it is symbol of trust, meaning in exchange for the colossal amount of resources they'll spend building the Centers, they expect you to help protect that investment, by building extra defenses for them. For this reason, in a team game, the only person who is playing as Terrans on each team is a valuable asset/target to protect/destroy. It's fun to be the only Terran on your team.

An accurate word for the POS cranked out by Sony and filled with crappy sports games that are only bought by people who wouldn't know a decent game or system if it was dropped on their nads while they slept. Of course, there are a few games that are an exception to the rule, but they can be counted on both hands. Fuck, the only good games on the system are games that were cloned from tried and true methods of development and gameplay that evolved on better consoles. It is the reason I hate Square Enix, because they made addictive games on the PlayStation, forcing me to buy the damned system. I still think Final Fantasy VII could have been just as good on the N64.... *grumbles on and on about the system's flaws, gets bored, and goes and plays a fun game on his DS...
PeniStation 1, 2, and 3... collectively the biggest douche- and shovel-ware series Japan ever threw up.

A dude who's a total dick to everyone not like him, and basically the semen used to impregnate his prostitute mother was infected with a sexually transmitted DNA retrovirus that alters the DNA of diploid cells shortly before meiosis begins. Thus, it's perfectly ok to execute him for being a crime against humanity because, technically, he's not a human, and he must be removed from the gene pool ASAP.

To all those who have written or heard negatively about the BSA as a whole, NOT ALL participants in the Scouting Movement are: bigoted, right-wing, pro-life, vindictive, scum-sucking bastards. Although there are a few members that accurately fit some or all of the above descriptors, the REAL scouts actually adhere to most of the ideals represented by the Scout Oath and Law.
You may have heard that the entire BSA openly discriminates against people for there sexual orientations, religious beliefs, or lack thereof. NOT TRUE. Most troops, such as my own, are against discrimination. See also: Scout Oath.
An organization dedicated to providing fundamental life-skills and leadership training for young men and women. Membership requires dedication, honor, and character.
Neil Armstrong was an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

The Boy Scouts of America. If the real world was like D&D, these people could be likened to a group of Paladins. Yes, that was a nerdy analogy, but at least I got the message across.
