• Commented on Make your own tofu
  Much cheaper to buy your own beans and use a soymilk maker (about $100) to make the milk, then coagulate. Store-bought soymilk isn't cheap. You also don't need to buy overpriced nigari--you can use epsom salts or clean seawater to...
• Commented on New age holy water
  re: phillamb168: Yeah, I've read those reports about NYC tap water. I totally agree: NYC tap water tastes excellent. I grew up in Arizona and got so tired of alkaline (hard) water. NYC water, which comes from protected snowmelt lakes...

• Commented on Haunted Mansion spiel to be scripted
  On the Jungle Tour, a friend of mine would shoot at the hippo and then say, "Stop, LAPD!" That eventually got him fired when a LAPD officer complained. I would laugh so hard if I heard this. Geeze....
• Commented on Thermochromic toilet seat
  Are people so OCD/misanthropic that they object to the warmth of other human beings? These same people will appreciate human warmth when they're too old to wipe their own arses and need someone else to do it for them. Besides,...
• Commented on Get rich farming frogs, 1934
  Sounds like the Indonesian supply comes from wild rather than farmed frogs. Since the frogs can be frozen almost anywhere and then shipped, it might make a good business for people in areas where the land is otherwise not suitable...

• Commented on Teenager in CA arrested for aiming his laser pointer at a jetliner, commuter bus, and a police helicopter
  I live in a large city, but on the edge of a canyon. The loud police helicopters sometimes circle around forever late at night, shining their searchlights around randomly. I've occasionally gone out with my 2-million candlepower searchlight and shined...
• Commented on Blackwater wishes you a very mercenary Christmas
  Jesus would only shoot in self-defense. Even the Dalai Lama travels with armed guards when he is in large outdoor crowds. Blackwater just shoots anyone who gets in their way, armed or not....

• Commented on Science and carbs - A big fat lie revisited
  I would also like to point out that not all FATS are the same either. Right now most of what I eat consists of, well, lots of peanut butter, milk, small bread portions and beans and fish. In my PERSONAL...
• Commented on Man arrested for toad tripping
  The Colorado River toad and Sonoran Desert toad are the same thing. See Wikipedia on the first entry. It might be possible that Missouri has its own laws regarding it. It is native to western Arizona area, so it must...

• Commented on Scopolamine: "Zombie drug" and astronaut anti-puke helper
  Phasor---I agree. Plants containing these anti-cholinergic compounds grow wild all over the U.S. In the NE it's Jimsonweed (datura stramonium), in the SW here it's datura meteloides. These plants are some of the "witching herbs" that include henbane, belladonna, and...

• Commented on List of the "World's Weirdest/Stupidest Conspiracy Theories"
  I have one for you: A completely incompetent Bush & Co. somehow successfully masterminds a conspiracy to fly planes into the World Trade Center and Pentagon. The hundreds of people necessary to pull it off manage to keep quiet about...
• Commented on SRL crew member injured in post-show accident
  I remember when Mark Pauline (of SRL) lost a finger on his right hand when a rocket motor blew up. Considering the inherently dangerous nature of their work, despite precautions to make it otherwise, I don't know that I'd call...
• Commented on Germany bans all music and video copying, including personal use -- UPDATED
  In an age where images and vicarious experience is perceived as more "real" than reality or direct experience, the concept of the worship of graven images takes on a new meaning. I think I'll go and fly a kite....
