• Commented on Stylophone synthesizer at Restoration Hardware
  I wanna point out that the last song is 'Without You' and was released in 1970 by Badfinger. It's been covered to death, but most notably over-sung by Mariah Carey. The original is my fav. I've got a Stylophone, and...

• Commented on BB Video + PopSci: Frozen on Video - Theo Gray Sculpts in Solid Mercury, with Some Help from Liquid Nitrogen
  I worked at a surplus store that had a giant bottle of mercury, it was heavy as hell. I wanted it bad. This was before mercury was considered so poisonous that you would die if you looked at it. OT,...
• Commented on Bob Graham's much-scoffed-at little notebooks are more reliable than the CIA's records
  Wow, them's some detailed notes. Of course, the cynic in me says it'd be perfect to take notes for thirty years so I could kill hookers, interns, and inconvenient witnesses with impunity — all I'd need to do is 'pad'...
• Commented on Bob Graham's much-scoffed-at little notebooks are more reliable than the CIA's records
  I'd be interested in seeing a sample of his note taking. How detailed are they? How has his handwriting adjusted to fit on those wee little books?...
• Commented on Cthulhoid genitals of the 1940s sex-guide industry
  I actually have this book (a paperback version of it). This is what my parents used when they gave me 'the talk'. I'm 37, and born in 71. This book was already 30 years old when I was the result...
• Commented on Sculpted caricatures of three of the Beatles by David O&#8217;Keefe

• Commented on Modern life is broken -- why?
  #4 samu - The orange sticker that gives the warnings is separate from the dosage/patient info sticker. Conceivably the pharmacist could leave it off with no ill effects on the dog, but I'm guessing there is some reg somewhere that...
• Commented on Modern life is broken -- why?
  Ironically, the thisisbroken.com site redirects to goodexperiences.com. The last post is from 2007, and seems to be abandoned. No followups, or explanations. I was interested enough to type it in, and they leave me hanging - missing a chance to...

• Commented on Personal Account of Safe-Cracking "Penetration Party."
  I helped a pal move an old safe to his basement.* When he finally got around to cleaning it up and painting it, he found a rather large bottle of tear gas integrated into the back of the door -...

• Commented on Acclaimed animated movie can't be shown because of licensing costs for 80+ year-old music
  BSD - sure. See you in 15 years or so. Really though, the dead guys should go first. Unless you think they have the most to lose?...
• Commented on Acclaimed animated movie can't be shown because of licensing costs for 80+ year-old music
  I should add that I'm a copyright holding musician and artist, and consider our current copyright terms to be theft from the public. I don't think copyright should outlast the artist, and I don't think that it should be 'passed...
• Commented on Acclaimed animated movie can't be shown because of licensing costs for 80+ year-old music
  From experience, copyright holders name an impossibly high price when someone inquires about music that hasn't seen the light of day or been listened to for decades. I contributed music on a movie (http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/kwik_stop/) which used ridiculously old and obscure...
• Commented on Man who set up alternate email for White House dies in plane crash
  Yep. A plane crash that just happens to work to the *timely* advantage of those in power. The timely part. That's the difference. That said, I'm sure it was just an accident....
• Commented on Video: teenagers tear up some bluegrass
  @21 No matter how good you are at something, there's a fetus on YouTube who's better than you'll ever be. This quote would have made my maximum rotation, but there was a better one made by a zygote on youtube....

• Commented on Genetic algorithm evolves a better car in Flash
  Anyone has a car that gets past the downhill after the notch in the picture above? All my cars (I have 5 instances running) manage to go down the hill, and then it resets.. I see all my cars taking...
• Commented on Download: Songbird music player hits 1.0
  I must agree, the little blackbirds were part of its charm, and what I remembered best about the app when I tried it out. The current logo is reminiscent of some 'Praise Him' record label. Ugh. Bring back the birds!...
• Commented on <em>Mercenaries 2</em> DLC lets you roll with Barack and Palin
  I'm disappointed it doesn't allow you to play as John McCain, then get captured, released, and then talk about it every virtual waking moment....
• Commented on Palin hears rally attendee call Obama "n-word" during speech, keeps on truckin'.
  It is difficult to hear what individuals in the crowd are saying at such gatherings. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnefSkKRzZQ That said, Palin knew or suspected - It's evident on her face. What is she going to do? If she misheard and corrects the...
