• Commented on Too much cola causes muscular weakness
  I have genetically inherited hypokalemia, which results in periodic paralysis depending on what I eat or drink and when. Late meals, skipped meals, starchy foods, glucose/fructose -- all these things can give me stiff hands, sore legs, neck and arm...
• Commented on London cops mug tourist for his bus-station photos
  My boyfriend and I visited Beijing just before the Olympics. There were undercover, and not so undercover, police and military everywhere, there were tourists everywhere, everyone was taking pictures of everything (though our guide strongly suggested that it might not...
• Commented on American Former Gay Pr0n Star Is Big In Japan
  I'm not sure that even the Japanese understand the Japanese at this point. That said, the video captures the complex eroticism of gay porn quite nicely. Kudos!...
• Commented on TNH FTW! A final post and a question for you.
  The massive failure of the Motorola Krave (http://motorola.com/krave) will lead to the disemvoweling of the Motorola corporation. Also, an epic Heroes-like television series about loss, redemption and irreconcilable inner struggle based around LOLcats....
• Commented on Tracks
  When I measure my tracks, I'll be sure to wear my red sequined bikini top to ensure extra accuracy....
• Commented on Marvin says "Bye Bye, Infomercia!" (OR: "Taste the rainbow, you goddamn fruits!')
  I thought it was fascinating and peculiar and a bit of a mindfuck. And, as has been said earlier, I don't come here just to find out about gadgets (as there are any number of sites on the subject) but...
• Commented on Illusory dripping paint table by John Nouanesing
  Maybe Strider meant aesthetic support. I like it though. Great for seances....
• Commented on Zittrain's "The Future of the Internet" -- how to save the Internet from the Internet
  Mithrandir: "The Internet is pretty much horrible. Probably the invention responsible for the most freaks this side of Thalidomide." Actually, the freaks were already there and always had been. That's like blaming the telephone for heavy breathers and prank callers....

  My thoughts exactly....
• Commented on Clarion West laptops all replaced
  I'm all for starting a "Pencils for Posters" donation campaign....
• Commented on Laptop theft at Clarion West sf workshop -- donations needed -- UPDATED
  I too am startled and dismayed by the asshattery (and yes, that's just what it is) on display prior to post #24. I'm a writer. I haven't attended Clarion but I have attended other workshops. I can well imagine how...
• Commented on Jesse Helms leaves the planet.
  As the old joke goes: My mother told me to only speak good of the dead. Jesse Helms is dead. Good. (86 years was about 85 years too long.)...
• Commented on Archie McPhee's bacon-flavored dental floss
  Gee, that's...disgusting....

  Wait--I'm supposed to peel bananas before I eat them?...

  Going through airport security makes me look and feel like a terrorist....
• Commented on Associated Press reviews Sony's Rolly. Verdict: It Sucks Eggs.
  I went to Sony's website to look for something else yesterday, and was confronted with a big demo video for this. I watched transfixed, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Waiting. Waiting. Nope. It's a hyperactive plastic turd. If...
• Commented on Canadian airport security screener <s>confiscates</s> blocks tiny gun-shaped necklace charm
  I'm sorry--"if it's gun-shaped..." is a crazy rule, and there's no excuse. If she's wearing a gun-shaped solid pendant, then it's a gun-shaped solid pendant. If she's eating a gun-shaped cookie, has a gun-shaped purse, has various gun-shapes stenciled all...
• Commented on Ford dealership uses bigoted radio ads to sell cars
  Belief in God = Christian? Christian = "Sit down and shut up"? "Sit down and shut up" = Free speech? Why not just say "If you don't believe in Jesus, go fuck yourself. Otherwise--buy a Ford!"...
• Commented on Artist repairs spiderwebs, spiders say no thanks
  Semiotix (#10) has made my morning....
• Commented on U.S. Border Patrol goes Big Brother in Washington State
  Xuyu, I think what you mean to say is "...but then I'M NOT IN A HURRY!" or "...but then I HAVE AN INDWELLING CATHETER!" or maybe "...but then I LIVE IN MY CAR!"...
• Commented on Scotland Yard wants DNA samples from 5-year-olds in case they grow up to be criminals; Oyster card records to become part of "war on terror"
  Taking DNA is completely unnecessary. If a child is exhibiting behaviours that may eventually lead to criminal activity, just take them out and shoot them....
• Commented on TSA endangers child's life by contaminating his feeding tube despite pleas
  No one should have to gamble their health against changing their travel plans--especially if they're 14 and have a medical condition. To say otherwise is just absurd. If you were diabetic and had paid $2000 for a plane ticket and...
• Commented on Video: Plastic Knuckledusters vs. Fruit and Vegetables
  Okay, I've read through all this and I'm trying to wrap my mind around something. This is a debate about whether or not to ban plastic knuckles and there's no serious mention of banning other weapons like--oh, I don't know--guns?...
• Commented on TSA searches, detains 5 year old because his name was on no-fly list
  I'm glad the mother has a sense of humour about it, but this is about as appalling a story as you can get....
• Commented on Zeno: Electric Zit Zapping
  Actually, the one to use is Thermaclear. It's cheaper, faster and generally more effective. As well, you only need to replace the tip once a year or so (with the Zeno it's as frequent as once a month). I bought...
• Commented on BBtv: Introducing BBtv vlogs! Today, Joel from BB Gadgets.
  That was great--Joel is funny and smart, and entertaining to watch. His analysis of the products was good, and I was especially glad to hear him address the features and prices of these items. This is an excellent idea. I'm...
• Commented on Report Shows Hackability of Voting Machines
  Ah, the voting machines make snowballs too? I thought they had to be useful for something. Once again though, "only good as a novelty." Sigh....
• Commented on "Auto Suck" Road Head Simulator Reviewed (Verdict: "AAA")
  Regardless of how it feels, this is the least erotic looking sex toy in the world. Stick your dick in a hair dryer, why don't you. (A hair dryer with lips, no less.) It makes the fleshlight look like Tera...
• Commented on The Truth About Female Desire online
  Isn't the truth about female desire one of those things you can find out by asking, you know, women? Are they in such short supply? Are they incapable of speaking? Are they too looking for the truth about female desire,...
