• Commented on US promises to stop treating Nelson Mandela like a terrorist
  Oh, and "fnord"......
• Commented on Mystery bone photos at Treehugger
  Based on Takuan, Arcadian, and The Life Of Bryan, I'd say that police need to be on the lookout for an antelope in the area, known to be an accomplice of the victim ("play" was apparently just a setup)....
• Commented on Funny signs in Fremont, WA: "Dump No Material Whatever"

• Commented on Smithsonian magazine on synthetic diamonds that fool experts
  From the article: "If we were in Africa, we'd have barbed wire, security guards and watch towers. We can't do that in Massachusetts." Not outside of airports, anyway....
• Commented on Boing Boing Boing Song
  I'd love for Freezepop to do a mutated version: "Boing Boing (Let's Go Back to My Room)" - presumably about having an all-night discussion of science fiction, art, high-technology, and steampunk. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LR1JaAuKLTs...
• Commented on Talking doll establishes "direct connection with Jesus" says commercial
  Erm, yeah... As #4 kromekoran indirectly alluded, this goes just a tad over the line regarding "no graven images." In fact, it does a spritely jig over it while strangling it with a kung fu grip. However, I'd love an...

  #3 royaltrux: Can anyone find a reference to a videophone system earlier than 1927's Metropolis by Fritz Lang? 1889 Phonotelephote - earliest reference to videophone (from In the Year 2889 by Jules Verne) 1911 Telephot - early videophone (from Ralph...
• Commented on Eveready Harton: world's first porn cartoon character?
  Nineteen kinds of awesome - thanks, BB/Mark. #4 Wareq: proud forerunners of Rule 34. I can imagine the reaction at the time: "You win 1,000 telegraphs, my good fellow. May I kindly have moar, plox?"...
• Commented on Londoners lukewarm on free £5 notes
  I'd be interested in the results where the offer is made by a cute gal with a nice smile rather than this somewhat scary-looking dude....
• Commented on Jewelry made from cast octopus tentacles
  Crazy Abdul says, "Ia! Ia! This is the best ring I have in my vast, non-Euclidean warehouse. Buy it now and be assured that you'll be eaten first when the stars are right!" That's Crazy Abdul - his prices (and...
• Commented on T-shirt with picture of armed robot endangers British aviation system
  A worthy experiment might be two folks with different shirts. The first has a pic of a gun with "This is not a gun" underneath it. The second has a pic of Magritte's pipe with "This is a gun" underneath...
• Commented on European airlines test spycams in every seat that "detect terrorism" in your facial expressions

  Thanks, Tiabla and Deliboy! My dad (born 1932) got a kick out of the original sample, so I'm sure he'll enjoy seeing the whole thing....
• Commented on Oregon continues to insist that its laws are copyrighted and can't be published
  Are Oregonians or anyone else (like tax preparers) permitted to read the state-printed tax forms? Can't read = can't pay. How about driver's licenses? "Yes, officer, I have a card in my wallet that may be my driver's license, but...
• Commented on Getting baked before shooting AKs at the Taliban: a bad idea.
  Couldn't hoit... As long as you're killing fellow humans, why not be doped up? You can argue the point of justification (i.e. to prevent the enemy from killing you or yours) and I'll even agree, but it comes down to...
• Commented on Sleazy <em>proposed</em> new Dungeons and Dragons license seeks to poison open gaming systems
  Sadly, not surprising. I viewed their 3rd ed. license as a ploy to expand the popularity of the "D&D" brand, and this is the result. I haven't played D&D since the 1st edition back in high school (via some friends)....
