• Commented on Video game wedding: a letter and photos from the bride and groom

• Commented on Chickens terrified of dried sunflower head

• Commented on Plaices of Death
  Eating live food isn't for me, but I just want to point out for the record that this is NOT less humane than the way much of our supermarket food is killed. Compare this to the video of baby chicks...
• Commented on Plaices of Death
  Something isn't right. A live fish can't be picked apart with chopsticks. Fish hide is pretty tough. Cooking a fish will kill it. How is this fish both alive and tender enough to pick apart with chopsticks? Any asian freaky...

• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495
  He sat watching while he chewed on his burger. He hated this cheap mass-produced food, but it was all he could afford. His savings were gone and the motel manager would kick him out soon. His hunger overcame his revulsion...
• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495
  His eyes scanned the familiar pages for the thousandth time. He sat in the center of a maelstrom of yellowed papers, crumbling books, and dusty parchment. He had started with the Old Testament, the New Testament, and the Koran. When...

• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  If used, this kit will create hate against cyclers and cause a backlash. Kinda like how the USA's efforts against Muslims terrorists have actually inspired more anti-USA hate. Also, maybe I suffer from a lack of imagination or experience, but......
• Commented on Chris Ware animation of This American Life story
  I heartily agree with the commenters who remember what it was really like in grammar school. If these kids weren't holding fake cameras they would have been cheering for their favorites and yelling things like 'kill him kill him', or...

• Commented on Infographic: Left vs Right
  Another vote for the non-existent socially liberal economically conservative party here. I'd like truly open markets, low taxes, power localized in the states instead of federal, etc. But it doesn't bother me if two people of the same sex want...
• Commented on Comic strip explains World Wars in five minutes
  This may give a quick overview of which countries did what to whom, but it makes a dangerous generalization. In the end people make decisions and take action, not countries. Countries are not living sentient beings. Powerful people use the...

• Commented on Forensic Art: Finding missing kids with Photoshop

• Commented on Ugly and Bizarre book covers
  I read that 'Blade' book, and believe me the cover does a good job of foretelling what you will find inside. It's basically James Bond meets Conan meets Harlequin Romance with some explicit sex thrown in....
