• Commented on 6th man on moon says space aliens are real (and have visited us)
  I gotta respect Mitchell, but I also am aware that the human mind is as strange a territory as is the lunar landscape. The question for me revolves around the issue of technological civilizations and whether they do indeed occasionally...
• Commented on Craigslist: The Stuff of Nightmares (half a terabyte of foot porn edition)
  I'm totally disgusted with it...what? it comes in "steam punk"? Oh, well, in that case, I'll take a dozen....
• Commented on Geoducks: the world's weirdest clams
  I've had it prepared as a tenderized cutlet, breaded and pan fried and it was very tasty and reminded me of abalone. I'd love to try that ceviche recipe one day should I find myself once again in geoduck country....
• Commented on DHS spends millions on bus kill-switches to stop Osama bin Laden from reenacting the movie "Speed"
  It must be working since I've seen no further sequels. I would love to see the political contribution landscape for this company....
• Commented on U.S. Has No Remaining Grain Reserves
  Gee...what a great way to control the CO2 level...wars caused by worldwide famine due to our belief that turning food into fuel would somehow make things better. Makes about as much sense as limiting our own CO2 but allowing the...
• Commented on Graceful forms made from tesselated flat panels
  Thanks for this...one step closer to the dymaxion world....
• Commented on Kucinich begins impeachment process for GW Bush
  It may be only symbolic, as many are saying in criticism of the efforts, but symbols historically have sometimes been the most important things, acting as catalysts for greater events and awareness. And it could lead to further investigation after...
• Commented on "White Art" -- 1944 pamphlet shows how to make sculptures from bacon fat
  Despite our kneejerk reaction to the abhorrent idea of eating fat,pork fat in particular, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that the problem with fat as it appears in our diet is its hydrogenation. For example; next time you're...
• Commented on Adventurer will live 300 days as Robinson Crusoe
  From the look of that island, while it wouldnt support a population of people for long, a single person could grow fat on the abundance evident from the aerial view if one knew how to adapt to the local available...
• Commented on Political sex scandals: the phenomenon of the "centipede"
  It's all about selling the eyeballs of the viewer to the advertisers in the media. Our monkey natures make it all but impossible to not stare while projecting our own boring lives onto the sexual situation whose normally acceptible cryptic...
• Commented on <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">New</span> Arbitrary TSA requirement: all electronics out of your bag (cables, too)
  I'm a little surprised that no political candidate has openly addressed the fact that the TSA represents what both parties hate the most; invasive governement bureaucracy run by detached idiots who've employed poor hapless nitwits that now have power to...
• Commented on 1961 monster toy commercial Great Garloo
  Not as good as "Mr Machine"....
• Commented on History of trepanation
  The article states that trepanation was done while the subject was awake and without anaesthetic. I wonder how that is known. I can believe there's no evidence to the contrary, but then what would one expect to find, a video...
• Commented on Science fiction writers implicated in vast A-bomb conspiracy, 1944: the Cleve Cartmill affair
  Interesting to see that the gorillas (as in planet of the apes) who are incharge of the security apparatus are as ingorant of the reality of science now as they were then. For more of this kind of evidence one...
• Commented on HOWTO make a snail out of a melted cocktail stirrer
  Fumes? What about global warming?...
• Commented on Brooklyn Bridge to get a waterfall
  Fantastic...I would love to see more of this. When our buildings begin to incorportate natural water features, it will suggest to architects that large buildings are interesting when they do what small buildings cant; simulate a natural landscape. A building...
• Commented on Paper airplane to be launched from International Space Station
  Small technical detail. The heating at re-entry is due to compression, not friction. It's one of those erroneous scientific thingees that's been repeated since Jules Bergman was in diapers. I love what NASA was supposed to be, but not what...
• Commented on Diagramming the Preamble to the US Constitution.
  I'd like to have the entire constitution diagramed like this on a handkerchief so I could rub peoples' noses in it....

• Commented on TSA's no-bid, data-leaking website was a complete screw-up: House Oversight Committee
  I would ask that anyone planning on voting in the upcoming elections here in the US, ask yourself what your favorite candidates position is on stuff like this? Being "against terrorism" isn't an answer. I do know that I am...
• Commented on Another five-year-old on the no-fly list: meet Sam Adams
  Have any of the candidates in the US said so much as a word about when elected that they'd kick the TSA out the door and replace it with something that has a collective average IQ higher than say 85?...
• Commented on Dublin city council cancels free citywide WiFi: "Illegal under Euro law"
  No surprise. Whenever the monkeys get together with a new set of sweeping reforming laws designed to address some of the monkeys obsessive concerns over whatever it is that concerns 'em...usually having to do with their sense (sense in contrast...
• Commented on Midwest airlines to passenger who was screwed over and shouted at: we did nothing wrong and owe you nothing
  Poor service and grouchy staff is one thing, but when their groucheyness ends up with a citizen being harassed by semi-sanctioned security guys who are essentially immune to your protests and repurcussions, that is when it goes over the edge,...
• Commented on Mike Huckabee congratulates Canada on its "national igloo"
  Y'know, it's not nice to make fun of the retarded, even when the retardation is self-impossed as in the case of huckabee. But I have to admit, it is funny, and will remain so until we see bus-loads of bible...
• Commented on High-security UK mall breached, photos online!
  Nothing makes us more vulnerable than that which reveals our stupidity...and nothing says stupidity more than having the idiots be the deciders....
• Commented on High heels: tottery killers (infographic)
  High heels look best on a woman when she is having sex...and just before. But please, don't wear 'em for running a marathon. Also, don't use an anvil as a life preserver unless you've somehow found yourself sinking in liquid...
• Commented on Skyscraper airport of tomorrow, 1939
  I'm hoping Sir Norman Foster reads this and takes it to heart...actually, he might have read it as a child and concepts like this are currently fuelling his mind for his next step in creating envrironment and not just architecture....
• Commented on Suburban family discovers hidden room filled with toxic mold and a taunting note
  How is it that mold,and a lot of other things with which humans have been living so long and had up until now seemingly developed immunity, is now causing such terrible effects. Are they real? Are they just immagined? I...
• Commented on The Fascination: Nebraska's Three-Wheeled Space Car
  Fantastic. I've been a devoted fan of anything relating to R. Buckminster Fuller for many years and of course the design emulates Fuller's dymaxion car, which is well worth researching even today to understand how important decisions are made regarding...
