• Commented on Council bans parents from play areas
  So I am assuming that these "play rangers" are fully certified in first aid and child cpr? I would also expect that these monitors are trained in some early education units so that they understand their charges? After all, if...
• Commented on Candy Corn traffic cones on DC streets for Halloween
  No word on how they taste? Bet they're better than the real thing....
• Commented on Firefighters told to cool it on the energy drinks
  I had a secretary who drank energy drinks because she felt they were healthy. It was so sad to see her guzzling these giant cans of sugar-water and talking about getting on a diet program and losing weight. And she...
• Commented on Speed-trap-happy cops shoot complaining fire-chief in court
  It's not the shooting itself that makes this story so ghastly. At least to me. It's the reaction of the other officials. That this might only result in only a misdemeanor, and the convenience of sudden memory gaps, is frighting....
• Commented on @BBVBOX: recent guest-tweeted web video picks (boingboingvideo.com)
  For #23 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DjTIiCJwCw "It's not what it looks!"...
• Commented on Policeman busted for feeding Pop-Tarts to gorillas
  It can only be assumed that the cop was bribing the gorilla with a pop-tart because in fact the gorilla is the one really running the zoo. I used to work at a certain world famous zoo and to be...
• Commented on Alcatraz Island, a tourist attraction that exceeds all expectations
  My little cousin was very nearly born on Alcatraz. Her mother, despite all warnings not too, went on a weekend getaway to San Fransisco at the beginning of her eighth month. She went into labor after the visit to the...
• Commented on Brown fat makes you thin
  @ Jerril Thanks for the explanation!...
• Commented on Brown fat makes you thin
  Does anyone else remember an episode of Sliders where they landed in a world that had developed some fat eating bacteria into a diet pill. Only surprise, once it made you thin it kept being working and thus made one...
• Commented on Latvia says no more British bachelor parties
  Instead of sending the police on a mission to educate the Latvian police on how to deal with drunk and rude Britons on stag and hen parties - why not educate those traveling party-goers on the polite way to behave...
• Commented on UK keeps mandatory ID cards for foreigners
  I don't get the cards, are they like green cards that you get here in the States? My husband, whose an English expat, has a green card that's just a plastic id card. He doesn't carry it with him all...
• Commented on Money-related posts at Credit.com
  A car dealer once tried to force my parents to lease a car they didn't want by refusing to return their drivers licenses (which they had provided for the test drive). He informed them that they were required to purchase...
• Commented on Roman Cat Sanctuary
  When I was in Rome last year I constantly found myself wandering back to this place. The staff are great and they do a wonderful thing for those animals. I still remember a little black cat who would run to...
• Commented on ACLU fights gene patents
  What a dark and frightening prospect.... I hope that the ACLU wins this. Why do so many consider making and keeping money as the be all, end all of life's purpose - even if it be at the sake of...
• Commented on Manchester's streets to be patrolled by CCTV cars that film you picking your nose at the wheel and then send you a fine
  As I was almost hit yesterday by a driver who was so busy brushing her hair AND talking on her cell (don't worry - she gave me the middle finger and drove off against the light) part of me thinks...
• Commented on Gentleman in New Orleans Loses Chunk of Arm in Possible Zombie Attack
  Really now, why do we always get such a bad rap? The zombie took one little nibble, just a taste really. Where's the harm in that?...
• Commented on Amazon supplier loses warehouse lease, invites the public to loot its books
  Legal or not, I'm jealous. It would have been a treat to be able to get some new books for my class. I can't afford to keep buying all my supplies on my own dime. Books are a luxury....
• Commented on UK's top snoop gets finked out by her neighbours
  Too many cell phones means your a terrorist? I don't get the logic there. What am I missing?...
• Commented on Tweet Week: Win Dirty Dolls Lingerie, LeapFrog Didj, iVoice headsets today
  @2 You're having a hissy fit over a picture of a woman in underwear? Yet, your user name is "bondjamesbond"? Glad there's a line of movies that don't feature women clad in skimpy lingerie. Besides, if your at work -...
• Commented on Amazon Sells Rape Simulation Game
  Redmond Cooper: I don't care if GTA has carjacking in it or not. As a rape victim, I have a big problem with anything that would make rape anything that what it is. Until you speak from the experience of...
• Commented on Amazon Sells Rape Simulation Game
  For adric and others who ask why rape is more taboo than a carjacking - do yourselves a favor, get raped - then you'll know what is actually coming out of your mouth. Speaking as a victim I'm fully disgusted...
• Commented on Abandoned hospital photos
  Abandoned buildings can be a rich trove of beauty to photograph. There's an abandoned military base near me that is an amazing place to visit and photograph....
• Commented on Final arguments in trial against 12-year-old girl mistaken for hooker
  I'm still as angry about this when BoingBoing posted it the first time around. Regardless of whether this girl was a hooker or not, it's disturbing that the police felt it took a group of full grown adults to "arrest"...
• Commented on Rep. Kanjorski: $550 Billion Disappeared in "Electronic Run On the Banks"
  Just $550 billion dollars? It's not like we need that or anything huh?...
• Commented on Joel Stein: "Nut allergies -- a Yuppie invention"
  First off, as a person who is allergic to nuts, I hope Joel Stein chokes on a nut so I can laugh my ass off at him. This is a very callous attitude to take, but I suppose it's no...
• Commented on Shantytowns as inspiration for urban developments
  Eeyore - How does this shanty-town innovation stop the gangs? How does it stop the drugs? How does it stop the cartel violence from leaking north from the border? How does it stop prostitution? How does it stop our kids...
• Commented on Shantytowns as inspiration for urban developments
  From someone who grew up in San Ysidro, which is all of five minutes walk from Tijuana, I can say that this is hands down a bad idea. Probably the worst I've ever heard of when it comes to reinventing...

• Commented on Petition to make clean water a human right
  Yes Knodi, but is raising your children to think that clean water is simply a commodity they can waste a good idea? Most kids don't even know where they get clean water - I know this because I teach an...
• Commented on Idiotic British tourists acting like jerks in Tokyo's Tsukiji Fish Market
  The next time I'm visiting my husbands family in England and a stranger just has to come up to me and make complaints about rude American tourists, I think I shall direct them to this video....
