• Commented on Two curious antique Oddfellows items
  Once my wife and I went to an Elks lodge to meet my parents who were also there for a lunch. We started to walk into the front door when a "gentleman" says, "The lady can't come in this way"....
• Commented on Glowing bacteria that finds landmines
  I think the idea is for mine cleanup after the fact. And I bet a good rain washes it away. Dragonfrog puts it pretty well. This is for cleaning up the messes of the past, not for soldiers to navigate...

• Commented on Cataloging the lies in Palin's "Going Rouge"
  I used to work for a company named Rogue Wave. People always spelled it Rouge Wave. Good thing they also bought the domain name "rougewave.com" Amusingly, the website "goingrouge.com" is an ad site that actually mentions Palin. "goingrogue.com" is an...

• Commented on Guns 'n Gardens - How to Survive the Zombie Apocalypse
  Crowbars trent. Crowbars. You can't ever fail with a crowbar. Besides taking out zombies, you can open crates which often contain supplies. But don't bash the ones with red letters on them, or the red barrels - they have a...

• Commented on Jacques Vallee: Waterboarding's curious corollaries
  Unfortunately no drug can make the torturer feel the satisfaction of watching someone suffer for crimes imagined or real. Perhaps one should give the mind bending drugs to the torturers so they just think they are causing pain and suffering....
• Commented on 100-word fiction competition — win an HP MediaSmart EX495
  No furniture to ease the sounds, no rugs to soften steps. No one to talk to. Just echoes of footsteps, of thoughts, of the past. Filled with echos. I had not lost anything though, nor had it taken from me...
• Commented on Clock on a bicycle chain
  Hmm so what's the secret to making your own I wonder... 1) Get a bike gear, and attach it to a 1 revolution per hour motor. 2) Make a bike chain chain with N X 12 links, where N is...
• Commented on Clock on a bicycle chain
  Dear lord, for $2300 I'd commission an artist to make me one. But yea, that is down right beautiful. And it screams for a DIY version, with the wall unit made from some interesting found item. But add a minutes...
• Commented on World's most awesome cheap Chinese toy

• Commented on Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad.
  zyodei sez... Corporations own government. They always have. They always will. It's more or less impossible to keep the influence of money out of the financial system. Very true, but... Google and Yahoo are corporations. Two very BIG corporations. Google...

• Commented on Secret copyright treaty leaks. It's bad. Very bad.
  Be sure and read the original source article at http://www.michaelgeist.ca/index.php It is far more rational, and not dripping with FUD. I have to ask you Cory, how can you with a clear and rational head suggest that this will make...
