• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  ! Antinous, long time no see. :p Let's just say I take after my great grandmother, who started at 5. Anyway; this is dumb. This better not come down to my flavored tobacco for the hookah. Obama, I support you,...
• Commented on HOWTO flout the flavored tobacco ban and make DIY homemade clove cigarettes
  @1 Cinemajay: We start sliding when we decide what products are unacceptable risk. What about heavy cholesterol foods? I smoke (on occasion, few and FAR between), but I'm much healthier than a buddy of mine who eats the worst things...
• Commented on Afghan girl killed by Royal Air Force leaflet drop
  Gah....
• Commented on Topps Nutty Initials original art on eBay
  Misread as 'digestive' characters rather than distinctive. I think both apply. Nifty....
• Commented on Lamp that runs on human blood
  IOW, if it was reusable, you'd have no issue with using it? Well, then you're weird. This is addressed to MDH, but I did state that explicitly in my post....
• Commented on Lamp that runs on human blood
  Disposable items don't usually drive home the energy-savings shtick too well. But I have a blood fetish, so if I could create the chemical from scratch I'd probably do so....
• Commented on MP3 player in an old training-grenade
  I did this when I was twelve with a tin replica! Mine had the screen and a joy-stick like interface taking the place of the old small nubbin used to control it. In fact, I still have it....
• Commented on Library in necklace form
  Blast you, Antinous, I was scrolling hopefully to the end of the page, thinking I would be able to make the reference- but you beat me. Well played, sir....
• Commented on Creeps tear down hundreds of handsome posters for African gay/lesbian film fest
  No Tak, it's just that you're giving the impression that this doesn't matter in the face of the greater evils in South Africa right now- something I know you don't feel because we've had many discussions in the past about...
• Commented on Creeps tear down hundreds of handsome posters for African gay/lesbian film fest
  Also: I think donating campaigns can be used for more than money. Especially in this case. As a big FARK YOU to the bigots that did this....
• Commented on Creeps tear down hundreds of handsome posters for African gay/lesbian film fest
  Those are gorgeous posters. I'd pay for one on my wall. Where can we donate to pay for new ones?...
• Commented on Trailer for Scott Westerfeld's YA steampunk novel LEVIATHAN
  If this appeals to you, try The Hungry City Chronicles, by Phillip Reeve. The first one's quite good, but the later ones are absolutely stellar. The characterization in these books is some of the most frank and honest writing I've...
• Commented on Lightning fast robot hand
  Wow. That with the cell phone is just ridiculously neat. Thanks for the link, Takuan....
• Commented on Cigarette lighter in the shape of a cigarette
  Uh, the radius of that flame looks perilously close to the striker. The striker on a standard Bic gets hot enough....
• Commented on Shock PSA warns against texting at wheel
  Good video. I'm fed up with fellow teenagers texting while driving. Sure, you can drive, even if you're not looking at the screen, but distractions like that reduce your ability to respond immediately to certain situations. Like the guy that...
• Commented on Floating, bright-colored marine tools
  @12 Skullhyphy Yes, because blue and green are easier to see in the water than orange. 'Warm' colors lose their color at a distance. Blue and green retain them. Reference It only takes around ten feet to lose reds and...

  Forget the juggalos, take a look at the injured dog clip....
• Commented on Annie Lennox gives her masters to mashup artist DJ Earworm
  Ohhhh. Now I'm on another! Annie-binge. I have had the most enormous crush/obsession on this woman since I was twelve. And I don't see it ending any time soon. Thanks, DJ Earworm. I loved listening to this and catching clips...

• Commented on Cab Calloway, Betty Boop and Max Fleischer: "The Old Man of the Mountain"
  inb4 backseat parenters. Thanks, Cory. These are great, and they'll thrill my grandmother....
• Commented on Old Ad for Fake Guns
  Au contraire, not illegal at all. My high school had genuine M1903 Springfields (21 model "A3", 3 model "A1") and they were gorgeous. We used them for drilling, and had very strict safety procedures on using them. They were slightly...
• Commented on MRI scans of sushi
  Apropos, as I had delicious Unagi tonight at Piranha's in Dallas. A -very- good sushi Restaurant. Wasn't sticky at all. They also have devilishly good martinis. I am blessed to be so near the Metroplex. Around here, you can get...
• Commented on Happy Birthday, Nikola Tesla!
  Hey, ever hear the one about Edison and the Elephant? I utterly wish Tesla had taken off the gauntlet and challenged Edison to a duel of charges after that one. http://www.damninteresting.com/?p=610 Also- typo on the title....
• Commented on Mutton Busting: children riding terrified sheep.
  Did it when I was a lass. Chose to do it. Begged to do it. Asked my mother and was denied- ran to my stepfather and asked him before he realized she didn't want me to and got tossed onto...

  Ahem. Did I miss this? Scarlet Witch & Quicksilver Maybe they disregarded because it's Ultimates....
• Commented on Giant earthworms
  I prefer bigger crawling things to smaller ones. After all, you -know- when a big one's in the room. Just think about all the things crawling over your skin right now. If we got rid of you, for instance, without...

  Cory, I'm never disappointed with your book suggestions. This is lovely....
• Commented on National Geo: "Extreme" animal embryos
  Wasps pollinate, but they also kill caterpillars and spiders, keeping the ecosystem in check. Pretty much every predator keeps another from over producing. Personally more fond of wasps than caterpillars....
