Commented on Practical joke cocktails: freeze Mentos into the ice-cubes, add to Diet Coke drink

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

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...
