• Commented on Maker Shed kiosks at Fry's
  As a total Midwesterner, it took me a long time to figure out that Fry's was not in fact a Futurama reference. It still sometimes throws me into a crazy space time alternate universe brain tangle though. P.S. That kiosk...
• Commented on Praying mantis in my backyard

• Commented on Wearable hummingbird feeder: they'll think your eyes are juicy, delicious flowers!
  I forgot nuthatches! They are fairly good hand feeders too. I've only ever had red-breasted come to the hand, but where & when I normally hand fed, that would be the only kind around so I'm not sure about white-breasted....
• Commented on Wearable hummingbird feeder: they'll think your eyes are juicy, delicious flowers!
  Hummingbirds are one of the birds you are probably going to be able to hand feed (well, in their case saucer feed) especially if you happen to live along their fall/spring migration routes. I live in Minnesota so we only...

• Commented on The woman who can't stop orgasming

• Commented on The woman who can't stop orgasming

• Commented on Dan Brown's latest book takes down freemasons.org
  One of the oddest things about my grandpa's funeral a few years ago was not the surprise appearance of my dad's new wife but that my grandpa was a Mason! There were some older men, presumably from his lodge, who...
• Commented on Spacemen are transmitting silent little floaty vlogs at planet Earth (also: laptops in orbit!)
  Thanks for bringing this to our notice! Very cool and yet surreal with all the floating going on. Watching the astronaut outside with the earth behind him/her actually gave me bad enough vertigo that I had to fast forward. Crazy!...
• Commented on Dude lives in spaceship house

• Commented on Kid keeping a lending library of banned books in <s>his</s> her locker

• Commented on Scientists dance their dissertations
  I like the juxtaposition of science and art. They are so often covering the same subjects just in different ways. There is a science to art and an art in science. When it all comes together it's like one of...

  Ack! I also meant to say that that cover is totally sweet. I like a nicely designed cover (I've bought multiple copies of books to have different covers) and that one is mighty fine....
• Commented on Gaiman on Poe: read him aloud!
  God, I haaaaate Poe. He never got out of that "I hate my life" teenager stage, I SWEAR. So morbidly annoyingly depressing and those stupid bells. NO MORE BELLS. I will concede he's has a knack for creating precise tangles...

• Commented on Cognitive Therapy is as effective as anti-depressants in chronic depression
  I have long-term (chronic?) depression and CBT has helped me some. Medication for me though is essential. In the periods I have gone without anti-depressant medication (one lasted over a year) since being put on them have been some of...
• Commented on Someone left a piano in the woods
  This reminds me of one time out hiking in the backwoods of Minnesota and coming upon a large man-made pole complete with a phone. It had a dial-tone and everything. In the middle of the woods. Like the deep deep...
