• Commented on Humans are domesticating themselves with smaller brains as a result
  If the feeding advantage that a big brain gives you is not enough to offset the metabolic cost of a big brain, then the guy with a baseball for a head will thrive on calories that the guy with a...
• Commented on A blog about horrible fake tan jobs
  Yeaaah. I'll take my healthy, stay-out-of-the-sun-and-wear-a-hat-and-blockout-if-I-MUST-go-out-in it skin, tyvm. I'm 33 and frequently get mistaken for 25, so I must be doing something right ;-)...

• Commented on Thinking off
  Yeah, I can do that. I used to do it a lot more when I was younger, though and I'm wondering if the more active imaginations teenagers have have anything to do with it. I still can, I just don't...

• Commented on Anti-vaccine fear versus science
  That being said, I don't see why people aren't free to fill in the gaps with whatever the hell they want to. You may not like it, but it's not your choice. Unvaccinated individuals are not only in danger themselves,...
• Commented on Documentary about crazy cat ladies
  There are people who really can't see the difference between rescue (or simply having a lot of animals) and hoarding? If the animals are in good health, being properly fed and not living in filth, and the owner is obviously...

• Commented on Neuroscience of Mona Lisa's smile
  Hear, hear. I couldn't even get near the thing when I visited the Louvre in 2000. The interesting part is that that museum is FULL of fascinating, famous art pieces, but I noticed a lot of people just scurry up...
• Commented on 86-year-old WWII vet on gay marriage: "What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?"
  Can anyone make out the name of the town he says? I want to send him a card, but Google Maps is failing me and my Maine geography isn't great ;-)...
• Commented on 86-year-old WWII vet on gay marriage: "What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?"
  Xenu - this guy embodies all the values the bigots claim they stand for - love of country, military service, Republican, etc, and yet he is emphatically not one of them. I'd like to think seeing this would help crack...

  Crying now. In a good way. This and the anvil 'splodey made my day....
• Commented on Dead guy on balcony 4 days, neighbors mistook for "Halloween dummy"

• Commented on Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"
  Felton - sometimes I think that would be a fantastic idea. I reckon I only see an average of one movie in ten without yappers ruining it....
• Commented on Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"
  Taking away people's mobile phones before they go into a cinema is a BRILLIANT idea. Now if only we can convince them to chew with their mouths shut while they're sitting behind me and to reach into their chip bags...
• Commented on Barefoot Burglar, 18, suspected of stealing planes, etc.
  The little bastard needs to be behind bars, not ego-boosted on Boing Boing....
• Commented on British Airways adds a "fly next to your children" fee
  Cicada, I'd pay that. In fact, I reckon I'd pay an extra $50 to be guaranteed a flight with no children on it at all. Airlines, are you listening?...
• Commented on British Airways adds a "fly next to your children" fee
  Actually, I think this is a splendid idea. I work for a rail co and all that ever happens is that by the time the train departure date gets close, it's full of people who have all demanded window seats...

• Commented on Robocalls become crime punishable by $16K per call fine

  #77: I dunno, those little shiny shorts and superman capes can be damn sexy sometimes, and I never did LSD in my life....
• Commented on Robocalls become crime punishable by $16K per call fine
  15: Back to my original point which is that the person making the call is NOT the main culprit here. Unless they own the business, which is highly doubtful....
• Commented on Robocalls become crime punishable by $16K per call fine
  #10 - As someone with work to do, that would still drive me bugshit. I have enough crap to deal with without unneccessary crap on top of it....
• Commented on Robocalls become crime punishable by $16K per call fine
  Cicada, the problem I have with that is that I don't want to be an asshole to the poor phone jockey, who, at the end of the day, is only trying to make a living. If I could waste the...
