  Really great, amusing set....
• Commented on Jon Stewart slaughters crazy finance guy Jim Cramer -- video
  I can has total Nerdgasm. Barry Ritholtz put my lil' chop on his blog. http://www.ritholtz.com/blog/2009/03/societys-only-protection/...
• Commented on Jon Stewart slaughters crazy finance guy Jim Cramer -- video
  Interestingly, even though it isn't making regular media, some of the players (granted, at this point the minor ones) ARE getting charged. In particular, those involved in real estate fraud (brokers, appraisers, agents, etc.). I can only hope that instead...

  Yatima? I winz internetz? http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w203/Badkittym/StewartComedian.jpg...
• Commented on Religious convictions correlated to fMRI scans
  Without imagination - the ability to conceive of that which does not physically exist - nothing would ever have been invented. On the heels of imagination one also needs the desire to see if that which has been imagined, can...
• Commented on Rob Cockerham writes article critical of Cash4Gold, gets offered cash to kill story
  Every time we see these 'infomercials' on cable, it's a hoot. I mean, seriously. Who sends valuables to some company first, and trusts *them* to send back a check made out for full value? From all the complaints I found...
• Commented on Kid on Drugs
  I love kids, adore my nieces and nephews and grandkids...and I found this video absolutely hilarious. Dunno if I'd have YouTubed it for mass public consumption, but I most absolutely would have shared it with family and personal friends if...
• Commented on Judges jailed for taking bribes from private juvie prisons to send kids to jail
  #17 - the judge is just a 'wee bit' older. They got sent to Juvenile facilities, so they are all under 18....
• Commented on What's going on in Bush's mind here?
  Maybe it's just me. I instantly thought "befuddled and slightly mad about it: check. Like someone took away his candy: check. Petulant: check." I didn't (and still don't) get devastated out of it, but I suppose that's half the fun...
• Commented on Graph of the way a cigarette tastes
  I must be some sort of freak, then. Been a smoker for 28 years, and few things taste more satisfying than that first full drag in the morning after making coffee and sitting down in front of the computer. The...
• Commented on Spraying hot water at -29.4C
  absimiliard - Indeed, I did say that, and I mean it. I LIKE humidity. I don't mind mosquitos, as they do not seem to be particularly drawn to me (or perhaps it's the 100% Deet I use when I'm there...
• Commented on Czech artist tells European Union to lighten up
  Comes across like a drunken party prank thought up by a guy who knew better when sober, but decided to go ahead anyway because it seemed so funny at the time....
• Commented on Maggot cheese that tries to eat your eyes
  I've got a very high tolerance level for things that disgust most folks. After reading the entire Wiki entry, all I can wonder, is "why?" Not to mention, I'm not all that keen on the consumption of any creature that...
• Commented on Spraying hot water at -29.4C
  My cousin lives in Bemidji Minnesota, a couple blocks from the University where he is a professor. He emailed me on Tuesday to let me know it was 34 below zero when he walked to work Monday morning. The following...
• Commented on Star Wars retold by someone who hasn't seen it
  Just about the funniest thing I've seen on the intardnet for a very long time. This made my day. "A planet populated with...Brown muppets."...
• Commented on Dramatic photos of convenience store robbery suspect
  While the pictures are indeed excellent, the subject matter...not so much. Great pictures, of a bad yet inevitable ending (I say inevitable only because an armed robber fleeing the scene of a crime has pretty much no chance whatsoever of...
• Commented on House prices plummet in Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland
  Kobie - well, if only it were that easy. Thing is, if you take out a loan on a place, you are not going to get rewarded by getting the property for free provided you just don't make any payments....
• Commented on House prices plummet in Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland
  Pittsburgh is really nice. That is one seriously pretty town. No, I did not bump my head getting out of bed. Anyone who has been there will say the same, and the town is laid out well....
• Commented on House prices plummet in Detroit, Indianapolis, Cleveland
  Robin Hood mentions the kicker, though many might not have really noticed. $500 quickly blossoms into many thousands when you have to - literally - replace a third or more of the house's vitals to actually get it to code,...
• Commented on Atheist bus ads roll in London today: massive success
  I'm not sure why the lack of a creator or 'god' would bother anyone or make them feel alone. The very LAST thing we are, is alone. One honestly doesn't need to be afraid of the threat of burning in...
• Commented on Boing Boing faves from 2008: George Lucas in "The Boba Fett Mystique"
  I found that utterly hilarious. I honestly would LOVE to be on an elevator with someone who was so free about getting their boogie on. It'd by far be the single most seriously entertaining minutes of the day, and likely...
• Commented on Group moves homeless people into foreclosed homes
  "Plenty of people become homeless while working full time, or are working full time (and then some) until illness or some other problem disrupts their lives." All too true. I'd hazard a guess that likely a good 50% of the...
• Commented on Group moves homeless people into foreclosed homes
  I am torn on this one, admittedly. While on the one hand, having a resident inside a property does indeed cut down or eliminate altogether much of the blight and crime associated with foreclosed properties, well, they are *not* renters....
• Commented on Photo of young Obama
  Love the photo. Even if it wasn't Obama, it's just a great picture in general. Looks a lot like a young Richard Pryor....
• Commented on Setting free the chickens
  Nothing like a few hens to keep the yard around your home free of any insects. Alas, they will replace said insects with chicken poop, but hey - it's fantastic fertilizer. I don't recommend trying to keep them within a...
• Commented on Inside a Cuddle Party (video)
  Hrm. I wonder who wrote the copy for it, that claims "non-sexual touching?" Last time I checked, toe-sucking was most definitely a sexual behavior. Not to mention...ewww. I had to click off the video as soon as that came on....
• Commented on Icefields Mystery Trails
  #60 As an avid skier, I am quite embarrassed by your comments. Hate to have people think all skiers share the same ridiculous (and non-factual) prejudice. I find no difference whatsoever between hack skiers and hack 'boarders. If you do...
• Commented on Bush snubbed at G20 Summit
  "This is still the president of our country. Whether you like him or not, give him that respect." Lemme think about that. . . . Um, nope. Can't personally agree. I've never believed anyone is automatically deserving of respect, simply...
• Commented on iPhones should not be ensconced in schweinefleisch
  This is fantastic. Love that it's felted, not sewn. There is nothing that bacon can't do....
• Commented on Feijoa fruits are ripe
  I had a large tree of these at our old house. I thought they were absolutely horrid, but our Rottweiler copped all the fallen fruit like they were porkchops. Worked out well for both of us. Ophite gave the most...
