Commented on Just look at this awesome banana peeler.

Commented on Just look at this awesome banana-peeling simulator.
Do any of these products prove intelligent design, or is there secretly an evolving series of improvements to each design (as there was with Ray Comfort's original attempt)?...

Commented on Oregon Attorney General releases "copyrighted" Public Meeting Manual, will hold hearings on whether Oregon law is copyrighted
A way to simplify this problem (maybe oversimplify it?) is to ask, "Is it public or is it copyright? Make up your mind."...

Commented on Camels terrorize Australian outback town
One of the dudes who coined or popularized the term "Permaculture" was Australian. He has a great anecdote about a woman asking him how to solve her garden slug infestation. He said something like, "You haven't got an excess of...

Commented on New Disney princess movie sounds pretty good
"because it looked like a trite and opportunistic way to bring in African-American viewers." They're trying to make their first African-American protagonist! If they do it, then they're pandering. If they don't do it, then they're guilty of having all-white...

Commented on 1962 fallout shelter design booklet
From a 1967 pamphlet titled "Fallout Protection for Homes with Basements", here's the absolute best design: a brick snack bar for your basement rumpus room that TRANSFORMS into a small shelter. I like the cushioned bench made of a stack...

Commented on Robbers wearing markered disguises
None of the articles I've seen answer the most important detail of this case: Was the chunkier guy consciously trying to be one of the "Sons of Batman" from Frank Miller's Dark Knight Returns, or was he just drawing a...

Commented on Woman with dystonia can only walk backwards
On the show, they were careful to repeat that the dystonia came up "ten days after the flu shot," so they're only describing the correlation, not the causation. ...Except why bring it up other than to imply causation?...

Commented on Sony unveils new 3D display
Why the cartoony critter? The thing they should display is the spinning head of young Michael York groaning: "There is no Sanctuary! ... All frozen! ... An old man! ... All ruins!"...

Commented on Jolielips, the lip-plumping vacuum system
The ribs on the vacuum look like little fingers cupping it. Not quite goatse.cxy but definitely goatse.nsual. Hey, I remember survival kit paraphernalia from the 80s that included little rubbery suction devices intended to suck out venom without a person...

Commented on No cross-dressing at Morehouse College
"If you got into a fight, the teachers broke it up and announced that after school in a football field, everyone was invited to watch these guys fight supervised." Great way to teach kids not to fight. I'd hate to...

Commented on No cross-dressing at Morehouse College
"You mean the same women that take classes their everyday? Or the multiple women (albeit rare) who have graduated from Morehouse College." If it's rare for women to graduate from there, is that because few women want to, or because...

Commented on The Nerdy Dozens
Your mother is so dumb, when the cops knocked, she told the dungeon master to flush her Bag of Holding. Your mother is so dumb, she thinks Chimera is Russell Simmons' ex-wife. Your mother is so dumb, when she rolled...

Commented on Air conditioner disguised as cartoony TV
Very cute, but don't you need those sharp, finny looking things to be exposed to outside air for some functional reason? I can't tell from the picture if they're just painted over or covered by tape or cardboard. I assume...

Commented on Rogue helicopter pilots and "chameleon lemon-headed coward terrorist pussies."
Sleepybat: "Is it socially acceptable to laugh at the mentally ill?" Unfortunately it is socially acceptable to be an internet armchair pop psychiatrist and diagnose strangers as being mentally ill. It's nice that you have some empathy for "the mentally...

Commented on Fresh Greens: A surprising twist for an ex-Enron-er, building houses for under $3k, presto-change-o chocolates, and goats

Commented on Fresh Greens: A surprising twist for an ex-Enron-er, building houses for under $3k, presto-change-o chocolates, and goats
Re: goat landscaping. Do we have to accept the premise that lawns should be scaped or eaten at all? I'm skeptical of the claims that tall grass lawns attract more rodents or snakes, or present extra fire hazard, the usual...

Commented on Court orders Google to ID anon blogger who called model "skank"/"ho", blogger threatens Google with $15 mil suit
This just in. Someone standing under the monkey bars called Cassandra a "pee-belly". Fearing another attack by juvenile litigants, Google pre-emptively identified everyone who was ever anonymous or pseudonymous. [By reading this comment, you agree to relinquish all expectations of...

Commented on Things that have always been true for the class of 2013
Johnphantom, it's good to see that your concluding recommendation is just "make sure you talk to the doctor describing it". But I hope you aren't disturbed by the mention of Zoloft being accessible to people because you think it is...
