Commented on Charts showing how much US residents pay for health care compared to people in other countries
Come on, who's actually paying physician delivery fees, when you can just do carryout for free instead?...
Commented on I Submit This Brief In Support of Why We Should Totally Get It On
It's true! Just look at my comment history, I'm almost always a really positive guy. P.S. - if this brief is genuine, I hope that she gets in contact with the guy, and that he's not already attached to somebody...
Commented on I Submit This Brief In Support of Why We Should Totally Get It On
I hate to spoil everybody's fun, but I'm guessing there's about a 75% chance this was written by one of the guy's friends, as the first step in an admittedly brilliant (and cruel) prank. 1) Write letter 2) Create girly-sounding...
Commented on Awful 1962 marriage textbook speaks out against feminism, communism and interracial dating
I HAVE the 1945 version of the book, sitting here on my desk now. My wife and I bought it as sort of a novelty at a used book store for $1.50. I haven't read it end-to-end, but I wouldn't...
Commented on WTF is "Dairy Drink?"
Googled "dairy drink HEB", and Yahoo! Answers provided this: It is skim milk with added sugar and water. It is pretty good on cereal, but if you're concerned about sugar and health benefits of getting the same amount of calcium...
Commented on Spurning the "false god of coffee"
I love the irony of him using a coffee timer to track his work habits. It's delicious, just like a warm, steaming cup of coffee. mmm...coffee......
Commented on From Death Row convicts' advocate to Middle School mentor
There's a reason nobody wants to teach middle school. The best picture they could get of him, and he's in mid-facepalm....
Commented on Dyson's Air Multiplier looks great, feels good, hurts wallet
I sort of adore the startup/winddown sound. And as long as we're talking about fans, I long for Nexus or Scythe to make desk fans. They're SO good at quiet, efficient PC fans, that has to translate over, right?...
Commented on Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"
I will admit to having used a laptop in a movie theater before, on several occasions. Of course, each of these times was before a midnight premier of a movie, when they let people in hours before the movie starts,...
Commented on Invasion of the giant blobs of "sea mucus"
Beelzebuddy - You (or whoever set that up) are an evil genius, and I salute you....
Commented on Zombie Street Fashion
I call for more photo-gallery articles! I loved the few that went up on BBG, and it would be great to see more like this here on MotherBoing....
Commented on Boing Boing guest blogger: Connie Choe!
Xopher - I'm pretty sure there's no squirrels in kimchi, but I'd venture that there is often kimchi in squirrels....
Commented on Invasion of the giant blobs of "sea mucus"
bklynchris - I wasn't terrified before, but now I am. WTF happens when a planet ovulates? Are we going to go into heat (OMG - global warming), and attract nearby, male planets? I just hope that Mars fertilizes with a...
Commented on Hallowe'en is safe
It's a depressing story, but I can't stop giggling to myself at the idea of young Cory as a pirate. It's just so damn appropriate to the life he grew into....
Commented on Roman Polanski on To Catch a Predator
Jesse - Even if the girl had been 30, the case as it stands would still be considered rape. Polanski, in a position of power (employer with business connections that the girl needed to further her career), abused that power...
Commented on Carl Sagan, spaced out on pot
If I write the insight down or tell it to someone, then I can remember it with no assistance the following morning; but if I merely say to myself that I must make an effort to remember, I never do....
Commented on The criticism that Ralph Lauren doesn't want you to see!
Lets see: this has been up for an hour, and already has 20+ comments, 250+ retweets, and admin knows how many page views. It sounds like Ralph Lauren has successfully activated the Streisand effect. Good for them. I think that...
Commented on It's Time To Play...Is! It! Sinful!?
No. Don't have fun. That makes it sinful. And best hope she doesn't get pregnant, because that's a full (9 months + nursing time) of "Stop! Sin!"...
Commented on Artsy Rube Goldberg machine makes eggs, toast, coffee
Putting it after the jump keeps more articles on the front page (or keeps the front page smaller). Personally, I like the format of having a picture out front, and video after the jump. It lets my browser use less...
Commented on Open source arson investigation
Church - Please see Angry Townhall for joke reference....
Commented on HOWTO make scary guts out of expanding foam insulation
@Brett - Thanks for the tip. I'm planning on doing a project like this, and will definitely wear some disposable gloves now....
Commented on Cars! BBG visits Mercedes-Benz' telematics research lab
Advances in technology often make old skills unnecessary. Most people (in first-world countries, at least) don't know how to take down and clean an animal for food, or how to grow a garden without seed packets and fertilizer from a...
Commented on Wingnut extreme: Glenn Beck says "Story of Stuff" is Commie propaganda
Yep, Great Depression was the fault of the atheists. We started worshiping the stock market, and look at what we got: God's punishment* *sarcasm...
Commented on Cars! BBG visits Mercedes-Benz' telematics research lab
New tech like this always goes into the expensive cars first, and propagates down to everyday vehicles over time. ABS, crumple zones, airbags, these things all started off as expensive options, and are now standard on just about every new...
Commented on Afghan girl killed by Royal Air Force leaflet drop
One of the few situations that has legitimate grounds for a lawsuit. That girl's family deserves to be compensated....
Commented on Cars! BBG visits Mercedes-Benz' telematics research lab
To answer Brandon's question: No. The zero-input car won't be here for awhile. In the meantime, this keeps (my grandma/half-asleep people/drunk people) from hurting themselves and others....
Commented on The speech Safire wrote for Nixon if Apollo 11 astronauts were stranded on the moon.
@Arkizzle Peerenity? I could live with "The peerenity of mankind" Makes it sound like we're all equal, and we'll also go on forever....
Commented on G20 protesters blasted by sonic cannon
Ok, so next protest I go to, I'm adding pro-grade earplugs to my "just in case" kit. JIC kit also includes: hospital-grade face mask painting goggles baby shampoo (for pepper spray)...

IronEdithKidd commented on Charts showing how much US residents pay for health care compared to people in other countries
Really Anon @52? Because if there's a difference in what insurance pays and the doctor charges, I eventually get a bill for that difference....
peejaybee commented on Charts showing how much US residents pay for health care compared to people in other countries
Stevenstevo: you're reading the report wrong -- they don't mention the marketing costs in the annual report as far as I can see. If you look at the 10-K report (excel version, see the "income statement" tab) you'll see that for calendar year 2008, R&D was indeed 7.9 billion, but "selling, informational and administrative expenses" were 14.5 billion. The 2.6 billion figure for 2008 covers just the cost of airtime and space in publications....
Meggha commented on Charts showing how much US residents pay for health care compared to people in other countries
Um, people who have to stay at home because they're handicapped and can't drive have to pay physician delivery fees! And those people really need their doctors and drugs! Wow, how daft can you be??...
bluesboy22 commented on 1960s and 1970s Denver pop culture open thread
Whoa ... what memories! I'm wondering if anyone has any info about the bands in the early/mid/late 60s. I used to go to the Rugged Room, if anyone remembers it (on Alameda?). There's one band in particular I would like to find out if any recordings exist. Anyone remember "Fuzz", from Thornton? "Lothar and the Hand People"? KIMN radio had a battle of the bands at the Denver Arena downtown (gee, I think that was the name of it - it's now part of the Denver Center for the Performing Arts). Maybe there's a good website with this kind of...
kip w commented on 1960s and 1970s Denver pop culture open thread
stantoni, the missing line is "And we'll have fun, just you and me / on K... L... Z!" Also, more information about Jay Mack, Niles Lishness and Farley McLooth can be found on the internet. Some of it was surprising to me. I knew about his heart attack when he was doing an overnight show, but was somehow unaware of the car crash at the height of his fame that led to his later health problems, or that he died a few months after having his life saved by an alert listener. A sad end for one of two disk...
