Thank Gods for the iPhone App Store

Thanks to Jax Schumann, I just learned that there is now a Cylon Detector iPhone app available:

Friends. Family. Coworkers. Everyone around you has one thing in common: They might be a frakking cylon.

With the iPhone Cylon Detector, you will know the truth.

This is an outstanding development. Previously, the only known reliable methods for identifying Cylons were:

  • Dismantle a nuclear warhead and use the enriched radioactive material to construct a lab-sized Cylon detector.
  • Have sex with the Cylon and check to see if his or her spine lights up.

This iPhone thingy seems a lot easier.

  1. How about humming "All Along the Watchtower"?

  2. That only gets you 4 out of 12 models, so not as effective as the other methods.

Are you a spammer? (REQUIRED — you must select "No" to post.)

NOTE: For mysterious reasons, comment posting is extremely slow right now. It can take from 30-60 seconds after you hit "Submit" for your comment to post. However, your comment will go through; you shouldn't need to click the button again.

Comment Syntax

The basics:

  • For a new paragraph, enter two carriage returns.
  • Plain URLs such as http://www.yahoo.com automatically become links.
  • The system encodes all angle brackets and ampersands. For example, if you try to enter a HTML paragraph, the system displays the open tag literally as "<p>".
