• Commented on Hundreds of top British cops defrauded the taxpayer for millions in phony expense racket
  @#takuan I was expecting a picture of mark thatcher there, who is more terrifying by far than that dollosaur. At least it didn't try and start a coup in equatorial guinea... Also does anyone read the b3ta newsletter, great headline...
• Commented on Docs to WHO: publicly condemn homeopathy for dangerous diseases
  @Marcel I could quite easily prove to you that traditional medicine is not a placebo. Virtually all regulated medicines in the western world undergo double blind testing against a placebo to test their effectiveness. The results are evaluated statistically to...
• Commented on Damien Hirst's giant replica of a kid's anatomy model
  Slizzered @46 Yeah I agree, I like my art representational, but I don't like it representational of boring things. What's the point in a picture of a soup can for example? Art should have no relevance to my every day...
• Commented on New York Times warns that new financial rules could "wreak havoc" -- 1999

• Commented on London cops reach new heights of anti-terror poster stupidity

• Commented on Doctors force patients to sign gag orders forbidding online reviews
  @#25 It's not about having confidence in your abilities, medicine isn't a field where if you're amazingly talented and conscientious then no bad things happen. No matter how good your care some of your patients will die/have bad drug reactions/their...
• Commented on Parent of gamer asks his son to honor the Geneva Conventions
  #5 I'm not sure I agree with you there. Yes obese people are scared of going to their doctor because they'll get told to do more exercise, but no this isn't because doctors are ignoring other underlying problems. There are...
• Commented on Medieval Suits of Armor
  Talk about a doubletake. Was that Emiry you were dancing with there? (or applemilk1988 if you're not a channer) Do you know her? How's she doing out there? The public demands to know....
• Commented on Final arguments in trial against 12-year-old girl mistaken for hooker

• Commented on Weird ice balls in London?
  #98 - What a wonderful sense of "humor" the "poster" has. Uncommonsense? Not worthy of posting......
• Commented on Weird ice balls in London?
  Noone has given me a reason as to why these only seem to occur in parks or grassy areas. After extensive research I've uncovered the truth. All london's parks were created over areas of ver high magnetism, this high magnetism...
• Commented on Free High Res Images of Earth
  Is there a world political map on this scale? or one with countries borders imposed? The only political maps I can find are those four colour country ones with a resolution of about 1 pixel = wales...
• Commented on Idiotic British tourists acting like jerks in Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market
  It's not very good to be drunk in public in the day, but those british guys antics really weren't very bad at all. I mean what, they had some photos taken and one of them touched his tongue to a...
• Commented on TNH FTW! A final post and a question for you.
  Listen guys, I know the last 50 times they were predicted they didn't happen, and I know there are multiple sound economic, societal, legal and physical reasons why they don't happen but I'm sure that this time, this time, there...

• Commented on Icelanders don nonthreatening knitwear, insist they are not terrorists despite UK government's claims
  Icelanders who moan about this descision are morons. Damn right if you'd been a bigger country Brown wouldnt have frozen your assets, because if you were a bigger country (both in the literal sense and like "the bigger man") you...
• Commented on Palin on Science (yes, we *do* troll 4chan so you don't have to)
  David Carroll, so whilst you agree that people can use any words they want, you also believe that they shouldn't? How rare. Also I have no problem with the word retarded, it's a perfectly functional word....

• Commented on Games are recession-proof earners?
  @Lilorfnannie Oddly enough I never really saw what was so bad about bread and cicuses, If I'm well fed, and well entertained then to be honest I'm better off than most of the rest of the world so that'll do...
• Commented on American Psychological Association members can't aid in military torture

• Commented on Palin's Yahoo email account hacked, contents posted to Wikileaks
  @#21 niconiconico I really hope you're from 4chan and just trolling us, because otherwise it's quite funny that they fooled you with the whole "ebaums did it" thing. They say that to everything, that's the point, that's what people say...
• Commented on Reengineering Earth to stop climate change
  I think this is a great idea. Come on guys, have a little confidence. All this things-with-which-man-was-not-meant-to-meddle rubbish. Hubris is the most overrated sin. I was starting to get bored with the lets all live good green lives and do...
• Commented on Thereminists for Obama badge
  @#13 MOMUS 98 yes, good point, I often forget to curse the soul of Alexander Popov whenever I see a radio. That bastard wasn't even a spy for the russians, he was one!...
• Commented on Help design a cipher for my crypto wedding-rings!
  @Daemon oh yeah, what a staggeringly easy cipher. If you're going to do that why don't you learn to very quickly multiply prime numbers together, forget about the rings, write your public key on your forehead and encipher all your...
