• Commented on Father, High on PCP, Eats Son's Eyeballs Out
  @#21: I guess I've always approached BB with a more literal view of "wonderful," as in capable of eliciting wonder; astonishing. Surely this story does that?...
• Commented on Unicorn Chaser
  Were we better able, perhaps we could make the Unicorn/Harry Potter/Equus/Original post tie-in. Maybe that's best left to /. Blind unicorns FTW....

• Commented on Avoid toxic people
  This is clearly an extension of the Austin Powers Test, developed in 1997. Relationship viability depends on the answer to the question "Do I make you horny?"...
• Commented on 911 police officer refuses to help girl who calls about her dying father because she said the F word before the call was answered
  My dad says that custodians always have dirty homes. Why? Because they spend their days cleaning up after people and want a fucking break when they get home. One wonders how the operator and cop in this story comport themselves...
• Commented on Pure Digital makes cute pocket cams, but which should you buy?
  I researched this for the last week and just placed an order for the Creative Labs Vado. Check out the video comparison at Vimeo: http://www.vimeo.com/2523815 Caveat: I'm a QTPro, Handbrake, and Perian user, so the issues brought up re: video...
• Commented on Untitled 2
  "It was unpublished. Untitled 2 is a pre-unpublished post." That's right. There's a new Sci-Fi title by and for young adults coming out soon that has the backstory. Watch for Cory's review.......

• Commented on XKCD: The book
  @ ARTBOT #10: Agreed. I mean, it's OK, but I read 10 to 15 better jokes in the average Digg comments thread. With as hyped as it is, you'd think it's the next coming of Asterix the Gaul....

  This video should be shown in every high school (or equivalent) chemistry class in the world....
• Commented on The Godlike Genius of Julia Davis
  Well, it can't be any worse than that Trailer Park Boys recommendation I followed up on last week. My shit-O-meter pegged when one of the comments on that post compared the show to Clerks, but I didn't listen. To my...
• Commented on DIY sex machine injury
  Are we all talking about the same thing when we say "saber saw?" Cause I was thinking reciprocating saw, or "sawsall." That would seem better suited to the use at hand than what I grew up knowing (not in THAT...
• Commented on Space Junk's Threat
  Man, this site is really bringing me down lately. Earth on the brink, and no way to escape. I sure as hell wish I hadn't spent my last beach vacation reading The Road....

• Commented on Truck driver refuses to allow police car to pass
  That's gotta be the most gutless cop car I've ever seen. Is the guy pedaling it?...

• Commented on 1940s Halloween photos from Anaheim, CA
  Looks like there were two Daisy Maes. I'm envisioning such an awesome catfight on the award podium.......
• Commented on To do in LA: Go see Dave Hill Tuesday night.

• Commented on To do in LA: Go see Dave Hill Tuesday night.
  Yeah, that struck me, too. Is that like being a comedienne?...
• Commented on Guest blogger: John Hodgman
  Oh, this is going to be good. Also, I own (inasmuch as anyone ever really owns) a rubber band ball of almost the exact dimensions of the one pictured here. As to whether that makes Mr. Hodgman my soul mate,...

• Commented on BBtv: Andy Gould, rock band manager, dances on the labels' graves.
  Surely there should be caption contest for that video still? I'll start: "So I said to Slash, 'What the frak am I supposed to do with this?'"...

  Les is an electrifying interview. :/...
• Commented on Hot beef sundaes: an unstoppable trend
  I, too, was at the ISF this year, and I can tell you the sign for the HBS was nowhere near at purdy as the one displayed here. Which made me sad, because I wanted to try one. Had to...
• Commented on HOWTO: Take jaw-dropping photos with a mid-grade digital camera and worklights
  Anything is possible with good light. This is merely confirmation of that. No one who's ever used a "mid-range" digital camera should be surprised by these shots....
