• Commented on Unintentional Humor of the Day
  Did they change it? It's serving up a .WMV when I click the link now. Or do you have to be on IE (I'm not) to get offered Silverlight?...
• Commented on Comic on the joy of online reading
  Echoing half the people here ... I really love my hard-bound books. It's almost a fetish thing, how much I love them. Yes, it's true, I do take them to bed, and frequently sleep with them. I also like to...
• Commented on SAME we can believe in
  "As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals." Ahem. Someone needs to reread his own inaugural address. http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/inaugural-address/...
• Commented on SAME we can believe in
  I have to say, I don't get his approach at all. (If you do get it, please explain.) By doing this he's siding with the abusers, and dragging the issue out (on the principle that an issue isn't settled --...
• Commented on Vans with R. Crumb artwork
  From the title, I was expecting a bunch of vans (Dodge, Ford, Chevy) with "Keep on Truckin'" artwork on the side. Of course, you don't mean vans, you mean Vans! Very cool....

  I just love those clouds. Brian, can we have a video of you making those, puh-leeeze?...
• Commented on Richard Metzger on Ayn Rand
  ... they just make speeches at each other. Hectoring, long-winded speeches. I don't see this as a mark against Rand -- I see this as realistic. The kind of person who goes for Rand is too often the kind who...
• Commented on Growing penis tissue in the lab
  I don't know, I find this whole thing hard to swallow. I think they're just trying to get a rise out of us....
• Commented on Tech support!
  I'm going to generalize and say it's because of the male biological imperative not to take ownership of existing problems, but to go out a create new problems....

  +1 to scifinjazznik, well stated...
• Commented on California's true bankruptcy: kids and the future.
  The problem is that distribution affects production. This is true for some people -- frequently some of the loudest, reference the Fake News Network -- but not for everyone. Different motivations for different people....

• Commented on 555 California security guards in San Fran threaten to punch sidewalk photographer, break his f*cking camera
  Grumpy, Sleepy and Sneezy? I really hate making fun of people's appearances because for the most part we can only work with what we're born with, but they're really begging for it. I bet we could find the four others...

• Commented on European Internet sinking fast under 3-strikes proposals
  Calling it "three strikes" is a complete misrepresentation. It should be called "three possibly-unfounded accusations, without evidence, against you or anyone in your family." And if you're an individual, you support this why? Because their profits are more important than...
• Commented on Infographic of Mars missions
  The look of it kind of brings back the days when Mars was a vaguely-menacing unknown slowly crossing our skies, when we knew next to nothing about it and all we had to fill in the gap was our imagination....

  That's gorgeous. I love the mix of the old-timey and the modern....

• Commented on Anvil Shooting: using explosives to fire anvils -- yes, ANVILS -- into the air
  HEY WATCH THIS! I was wondering how he would keep from igniting the powder while he set down the upper anvil. Glad to see the paper. I guess this has been done a few times before ......

• Commented on Laura Levine photography at Brooklyn Museum exhibition of Rock & Roll photography 1955-present
  One time I was out for a walk with some relatives and their four-year-old daughter. After a while it started to rain - a heavy downpour. While the grown-ups were pitching fits about the water, the young one transformed into...

• Commented on Moon bombing is bad, for it will make the aliens very angry indeed.
  @benher The secret alien base on the dark side of the moon? I always thought it was a secret Nazi moonbase, set up during the last days of the second world war, where Hitler's chosen few (and their Aryan breeding...
