Commented on Ludicrously expensive bottled water for rich morons
It is really any more "stupid" than people who drink bottled water to begin with or the morons who pay ridiculous prices for organic food?...
Commented on Steve Steinberg on "Crowd Dynamics"
What is funny is that the Black-Scholes equation is nothing more than a thermodynamic equation of how heat dissapates. Undergraduate engineering students have been learning the exact same equation for close to 100 years and yet some U of C...
Commented on Lawsuit about risk of CERN and parallel universe
I think we can safe exclude Biology from the realm of science. It is no more scientific than marketing or economics....
Commented on Gary Wolf profiles Ray Kurzweil in Wired
I don't think he is any crazier than vegitarians. Crackpots abound...
Commented on Rudimentary math skills among fish
I think simply attributing this to "ability to perform math" is quite suspect. Psychology is guilty of misattributing true cause at times because it is really a very soft science unlike a science like physics or its even more difficult...
Commented on Salon shows how to read WSJ for free
People who read Salon are intellectual backwater, nothing more that clildren of the wealthy and powerful. I am glad they will read the WSJ, it will teach them how to think....
Commented on Creationist documentary premiere bars science blogger, accidentally lets in Richard Dawkins
Both of these groups are intellectual lightweights. Both are grossly ignorant of scientific theory and both school of thoughts lack intellectual rigor as compared to physics. So what if somebody beleves in creationism, what does it matter? If you don't...
Commented on The wit and wisdom of Prince Philip
Granted, bad, but you got to love how old people have no fear to say exactly what is on their mind. But he is mistaken about Brazilians ruining Brazil.... the problem is all the italians in Italy. Bastards....
Commented on Fun straws are phallic?
I agree with this Bailey chic on this one. That is pretty close. Honestly who, above the age of 10, doesn't think this looks like junk? Red Dog beer thing, yea, thats a stretch. This is pretty bad....
Commented on Cognitive science vs. crappy PowerPoint slides
By the time someone reads this book, they could have supported his or her presentation with better content. At times, psychology seems like it is the science for stupid people, and in turn, lowering the IQ of us all....
Commented on Payday Loan scumbags prey on the elderly, illiterate, poor
#40 "fading books" Ummmm, no. When we count some religions in the billions, they're not exactly having a tough go, regardless of what you wish to happen. "cocky humans" Ummmm, no. Even if it was true, I had no idea...

Commented on The horrors of plant-animal hybridization
#2 News Flash, you have been eating genetically modified food for, oh, the last 30 years or so. And you comment about how things have been going swimmingly naturally, tell that to the, oh I don't know, the Irish in...
Commented on Fidel Castro, Commander in Chief of Cuba, resigns
This is why I think Christopher Hitchens is full of crap. When Castro temporarily left office a few months back, Hitchens was shouting on high on slate.com about how this is a military coup. Well lookie here, it is not....
Commented on California judge shuts down wikileaks
Granted, transparentecy is at times good, but to classify this is "brave", plz. These journalists are as self serving as the people they are reporting about. What is sad is how many are suckered into this line of reasoning. Don't...
Commented on Skateboard hating cop caught on video for 2nd temper tantrum
I love how people want to arrest this guy for confronting someone breaking the law and a two paragraph on a website w/o video. So much for the "rule of law". Go mob mentality!!!!...
Commented on U.S. will try to shoot down spy satellite gone bad
What's funny is that people are con'ed by half assed science all the time, see organic/cloned food. But now everyone is a skeptic concerning this satellite's fuel causing any dangers? And Dculberson, how is Tom avoid the facts? If anything,...
Commented on U.S. will try to shoot down spy satellite gone bad
#8 Actually it is a good, and safer, idea. Read a physics text book, unless science scares you too much....
Commented on Surveillance vote in house imminent, EFF's call for action
What "millions" have been spied on? Any proof of that number? And no, this is not a violation of human rights. Ireland circa 1700s was a violation of human rights. Most realists would claim that this isn't on the radar....
Commented on Cop roughs up teenage skateboarder on video
#26 Authoritarian? Bully a 14 year old kid skateboarding illegally and now we live in a police state. Talk to people in Chile about what is it like to live in an authoritative regime, and they would laugh in your...
Commented on Cop roughs up teenage skateboarder on video
Geez, maybe the cop had a bad day. So a 14 year old got rough up a bit, so now we hang a guy who will have to deal with situtations where he will get shot at to protect us....
Commented on Documentary about women who collect fake babies
Is this any more odd than other parts of our society, like the irrational, unscientific fear of cloned food (or un-organic food) or the evolution boogie man? All of you who are called this "scary" I am sure have a...

#16 and #27 Sorry, weird is weird, and if the Japanese like weird crap, good for them. Just like 1+1=2 anywhere. Blaming it on ethnocentrism, how weak....

Sister Y commented on Documentary about women who collect fake babies
Noen my sister, the game is to guess a movie (the default class is sci fi movie 1900-2008) based on a specific sort of hint - that is, imaginary translations of the titles, like the game they play in PKDick's Galactic Pot Healer. (Imagine translating, say "Children of Men" into, say, Japanese, and then back again. You might end up with something like "Lineal Descendants of XY(plural)" (okay it's a stretch but you don't have to use strict translation). The latter would be the clue. Past puzzles: The vegetarian Catholic celebrates St. Patrick's Day Answer: Soylent Green (best puzzle evar)...

JTankers commented on Lawsuit about risk of CERN and parallel universe
Have you read CERNs SPC Committee's Safety Report disclaimer? "this argument relies on properties of cosmic rays and neutrinos that, while highly plausible, do require confirmation" (indico.cern.ch/getFile.py/access?contribId=20&resId=0&materialId=0&confId=35065) So... Dr. Rosser might still be correct: "...after 50 months the earth to a centimeter would have shrunk" Awesome video on YouTube "You Prefer Your Collider": youtube.com/watch?v=A1L2xODZSI4 More at LHCFacts.org...
Shelby_Victoria commented on Cop roughs up teenage skateboarder on video
I definitely think this kid has a right to be angry and to complain to the police force, but a lawsuit? They were skating in a no skating zone, but who's to say that they knew it was? The police are always demanding respect and using violence, but they never show respect, and they use violence before anyone else shows a sign of using it first. Let this be a sign to the police force. As for the cop, I don't think he should be on patrol after this indecent, and he does need anger management classes....
Spiffiton commented on Insane Ronald McDonald in Japan (video)
Now I know this is a very very old post, But I remember watching this and something about the song moveing me. Well this passed week I have come across a purposely unplayable piece of sheet music(http://substitute.livejournal.com/1394474.html), written by composer John Stump. Being a pianist, I looked into anyone attemping the piece and came up with this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EpuhfrhGHI&feature=related Right away remembering this post. There are many japanese videos where cartoons, shows, movies ect ect. are edited to this song. Just thought I'd share....
