whenever someone passes away, people always say "Godspeed".
What does that mean? :confused: :confused:

God·speed (g?d'sp?d')
n.
Success or good fortune.
[From Middle English God spede (you), may God prosper (you) : God, god; see god + spede, third person sing. present subjunctive of speden, to prosper (from Old English sp?dan, from sp?d, success; see speed).
Not exactly sure why they use it when someone dies other than wishing someone a better afterlife maybe?

Thank You. i have seen Joe Rogan a couple times. To me he is one of the best. I love that video, Carlos was on stage and Joe got up there to punk him on stage. for stealing other peoples sh*t. Classic. :D

You people have way too much time on your hands if you're going around following all these stand up comic routines to try and find out who is ripping off whose material lol... very funny... not as funny as Mencia, but funny nonetheless...:D
I mean seriously... would this be some form of splashing?:jawdrop:

No. But not every comic has been called out on stage infront of his fans for ripping sh*t off.

Maybe Rogan is jealous because Mencia got his own show and blew up....and Rogan knows he can whoop the shit out of him so he called him out. Not many comics are tuff you know...:D Dont get me wrong I like Rogans show and have seen him @ the Laugh Factory, but every gets there material from somewhere.

The term God Speed became really popular after the space shuttle explosion.
That was the term use by the astronauts right before lift off.
Also use by test pilot Chuck Yager.

I speak with a tiny bit of authority here. As a comic myself, within the community Mencia is affectionately known as "Menstealya." Several comics refuse to share marque time out of fear their shit will end up on his show, without any recognition or compensation.
I worked a project with a writer from Mencia's show who told me Mencia isnt even Hispanic and Carlos isnt his real name. I guess his mom is German, but German jokes arent nearly as funny as Beaner jokes.
