• Commented on Daily photos of a healthy cervix for one month
  I would have appreciated a warning of some kind, or putting the image after the jump. I know it's just human anatomy, and I should just accept it. But a little warning would have been nice. I don't really want...
• Commented on Offworld Gallery: The games factory, how <em>Mario, Tetris, Sonic, Pong</em> were made
  I saw these photos in AMUSEMENT, and they changed my life. I got the magazine because my fossils were in it, and I was very proud of myself. Then I got to these photos, and I was humbled beyond belief....
• Commented on HOWTO: Build A Milk Crate Toilet Composter
  I've seen (in a camping supply catalog) a toilet seat specifically made to attach to a five-gallon bucket. It might be easier and more legally sound than cutting up a milk crate. Just in case anyone is thinking about doing...

• Commented on Fake DHS "photography license" for fake no-photos laws
  "Perhaps the EFF or ACLU would be willing to lend their authority and logos to this cause?" Now THAT'S the best idea I've heard all day! I would definitely carry an ACLU-issued photopass....

• Commented on DiamondNite fake diamond detector
  This is the same unit I used when I worked at a pawn shop. It's worth noting that although it detects the difference between Moissanite and diamond, it WILL NOT detect the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond. CZ will...
• Commented on Man camouflaged as pile of paper at Ikea
  I prefer the guy disguised as a pile of yellow bags. Brilliant! I want more!...
• Commented on Way Basics, modern cardboard furniture held together by glue...in a good way
  Bardfinn- I believe that you did everything you describe. But your experience my be vastly different from some others. Just as my experience is totally different from yours. We all have different capabilities and environments. I've got friends who simply...
• Commented on Way Basics, modern cardboard furniture held together by glue...in a good way
  For the same price, you could get plywood, yes. But you would also need tools and ability to cut all the shapes you need, as well as fasteners (screws, biscuits, glue, etc.) and tools to implement the fasteners. You would...
• Commented on BB Video: Les Claypool Boing Boing jam sesh, "Of Fungi and Foe."
  I'm a big fan of Les Claypool, but I can't watch this video at work. Mikey says Les makes her want to "shit blood." So I will watch when I get home....

• Commented on Rob Cockerham writes article critical of Cash4Gold, gets offered cash to kill story
  I think it would be great if everyone who reads this set the cockeyed article as their start page. So every time you open your browser, you hit that website. It's a good way to make sure it stays high...
• Commented on Scotchlite 680: Black reflective vinyl goes white under headlights
  I used white reflective vinyl on the gas tank, side panels, and fenders on my old motorcycle. It was really rad at night. But it still looked white during the day. Now I want to do my bike in black!...
• Commented on Speed bumps design flattens self for slow drivers
  You know what's bad for the environment? Stopping and starting your car. You know what's WORSE for the environment? Paving a segment of trees to put up a factory. Building a smoke-belching, waste-producing, energy-using factory that spits out petroleum-based plastic...
• Commented on The Right to Bear Pocket Knives
  Come on, guys! We're talking about my livelihood here! TSA, please confiscate as much as you can, because it's paying my mortgage. Thank you. That is all....

• Commented on The Spirit of St. Louis World War II iPod dock
  I had one of these a few years ago, except it was a CD/cassette/AM/FM without the Ipod dock. It was gorgeous. It fell from a table just above knee-high and broke into about 75 pieces. I miss it terribly, and...
• Commented on This is what a broken Amazon Kindle looks like
  I did the same thing with (2) digital cameras. At different times, of course. So I feel your pain. Except for the fact that you got your first one for free, and your second one for free. So that makes...
• Commented on Ford dealership uses bigoted radio ads to sell cars
  I'm pretty sure that "believing in God" and "Being a Christian" are not necessarily the same thing. Also, I'm not sure how this is supposed to sell cars. But I guess they can say whatever they want....

• Commented on Next rash of Dell Inspirons surprisingly svelte
  That reminds me of the Inspiron I bought. And the battery went bad after a year. And when I wiped the hard drive and reloaded the drivers that came with the computer, they didn't work. So now I have a...
• Commented on Bike wheel consisting of spokes with shoes on the end
  If you saw it a long time ago, and this is boring and out of date, it means you are much more current, hip, and in touch with boingboing. So put it on your _own_ blog. Oh, yeah, you probably...
• Commented on Bike wheel consisting of spokes with shoes on the end
  Thank you, editors of boingboing, for providing such a variety of things to look at, and such a high volume to keep me coming back at least daily, and yet, not so much volume that I am overwhelmed. There is...
