• Commented on Electrolyzed water, aka <em>el liquido milagroso</em>
  Seems like the same process that my Dad has been using for years to chlorinate his swimming pool. Add salt to machine, turn on power, open water-valve. You get 'free' chlorine and muriatic acid which he then used as a...

• Commented on One look at the Jell-O clown and he will haunt your dreams forevermore
  I guess we can take comfort in the fact that if indeed that photo was taken in 1949 then Jello-Clown is probably dead by now. Unless he is one of those unholy immortal clowns......
• Commented on Famed Malibu beach is <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">disappearing under rising sea</span> eroding
  Beach erosion occurs all the time and the only place it really gets publicity is when it encroaches on people's homes. Of course, who is at fault in that case, the ocean or the owners for building the houses there...

• Commented on Satan/Santa greeting card
  I think the fellow that wrote the "Santa Clause: The Great Impostor" needs to get on some medication. I can't believe I read the whole thing. I was disturbingly fascinating to see the lateral connections he made while quoting KISS,...
• Commented on Heavy-duty overhead luggage with a chest of drawers and a seat

• Commented on Wall retaliates against vandal
  #17 Looks like a sound wall for traffic noise (like the ones that are behind my house). They just slide the panels in, and they are held with nothing but their own weight. Occasionally I will where a car crashed...
