  • Commented on Astonish Yourself: 101 Experiments in the Philosophy of Everyday Life
    I bought this book a few years ago. I meant to make it part of the permanent cargo of my bag, but I keep forgetting to. My favorite that I remember: Imagine a pile of hands....
  • Commented on Slate's "Choose Your Own Apocalypse" finds out what kind of doomsayer you are
    I was a humanitarian internationalist the first time, and a bloothirsty misanthrope the second. Very disappointed that there weren't enough options representing America destroying the world. "Christianity" as an apocalypse meant that Christian values make America into pacifists, and we...
  • Commented on How-To: Rubber hose chair
    Actually, you don't need thicker threaded rods, you just need four or five more of them. But that one in the front does look like it's starting to bow a little......
  • Commented on When These Robots Enslave Us, It'll Be an Adorable Enslaving
    Is it just me, or does the TRX 002 have suspiciously ED-209-like legs? Not the feet, so much, as the backbent birdy-ankles. Check it out: TRX 002: http://www.theoldrobots.com/images14/tr17.JPG Ed: http://www.robocoparchive.com/info/ed209-24.jpg I'm just sayin'....

  • Commented on Video about wannabee amputee
    "This doesn't have anything to do with Oliver Sacks Man who mistook his wife for a hat. That man had a visual agnosia - he could not visually discriminate between objects in his environment." How about: "Oliver Sacks has a...
  • Commented on Things to say during sex (Doogie Horner flowchart lulz).
    I rule at fuckin' my job is truckin' don't stop suckin. Thought a lot of this was funny, but this trumps 'em all. I nearly pooped....
  • Commented on Mysterious Japanese electronic ion toothbrush
    I heard many years ago about a toothbrush that used an electric charge to make the plaque come loose easier. The theory was that plaque is mildly charged (positive or negative, I forget which) and the toothbrush produced the opposite...
  • Commented on Transformer Chewy
    My yak hair arrived!...
  • Commented on Spherical pocket watch
    It's a bit smaller than a ping-pong ball, so it wouldn't be all that uncomfortable to carry in a jacket pocket, or a pocket with nothing else in it. I'm put off more by the price (higher than my rent!)...
  • Commented on Blackest black meet blackest Mac
    Stealth, my ass. Fuligin....
  • Commented on Man who walked into Burning Man fire loses lawsuit
    Wow. I think courts need a "what a fucktard" verdict. Anyone who sues someone over his (or her) own stupidity needs to be taught a lesson. Case in point: The instruction book for my Dremel explicitly forbids using the Dremel...
  • Commented on Citizen surveillance videos of litter louts
    Worst of all, I've seen more than one person drop trash on the ground WHILE STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO A TRASH CAN!!! Seriously, what the fuck?...

    Am I naive in thinking that they oughtta try just firing people who take bribes?...
  • Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
    Milovoo: I don't want to "re-educate" vegetarians, but I don't want them trying to "re-educate" me, either. I respect their choice, even if I don't get it. I'm not a meat evangelist, but I've had a lot of vegetarians try...
  • Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
    Wow. I changed horses in mid-sentence. My justification was going to be that I don't let other people tell me what my morals should be. That's the umbrella one in "as with being an atheist..." The animals thing was for...
  • Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
    @DSAC86: My statement that I like meat and eggs was not intended as a justification, but a statement of my position: That I am not a vegetarian, vegan, etc. I could have said, "I am a meat-eater." But to follow...
  • Commented on LA's vegan restaurants are full of egg
    @jerkzilla, clif: Hmmm. I eat meat, I'm an atheist, and although I don't smoke, I have no objection to smoking. What's the connection supposed to be between atheists and vegans? Or was that just a correlation in your experience? I...
  • Commented on Tweet (#2371837443)
    I couldn't stop laughing. The straightfacedness with which the people in the commercial (but especially the women) kept saying "tiddy bear" made me laugh more and more. I picture lots of outtakes of those folks laughing at the name, making...
  • Commented on If you have any questions, please ask the angel
    I never watched this movie because I thought it was just a revenge fantasy about sexual harassment. No idea it had any of the sci-fi in it at all, Crichton notwithstanding....
  • Commented on The Least Exciting Moments in Sports
    Okay, sure, boxing. It's mostly team sports I can't stand. Anything that's one individual against another, or one individual against him(or her)self is quite watchable. I've probably watched more tennis than all other sports combined. It's still only a few...
  • Commented on Gundam Statue Completed
    Gun-DAMN, that's a big statue....
  • Commented on The Least Exciting Moments in Sports
    Okay, except for injuries....

  • Commented on Swamp Kirin coming to Maker Faire
    Way way back in the early '90's, I had an idea about making some 4-leggity stilts for cheap personal transportation, theorizing (incorrectly, perhaps) that the longer stride would make me able to go faster than regular walking. Never got around...
  • Commented on Robot Therapy Seal Pups
    Snoozy is cuter....
