Commented on Unusual home invasion in Ohio (Update: <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">fake?</span> real!)
I think you guys were had on this one.

Commented on Honda's Power of Dreams
LOL . . . just something more for the BB crowd to complain about. Forget about enjoying witty posts and learning about interesting sites, it seems a majority of BB readers come here to flex their internet muscles and complain,...
Commented on Tripod-wielding photographer mistaken for would-be gunman
Many have asked why are the police STILL interested in the suspect. Though I am not involved in the criminal justice system, my guess is that the police want to CONFIRM that it was a tripod and not a gun....
Commented on Funny story about computer confiscation in Denmark

Commented on MythBusters tackles "plane on a conveyor belt problem"
#96 I lay $5 on the table that the Mythbuster ultralight will take off. I also lay $20 on the table that some people will still not accept that answer to the problem. Spot on baby, spot on....

Commented on Boing Boing iPhone/iPod Touch Web Clips Icons
How about making BoingBoing recognize I'm using an iPhone and then presenting BoingBoing in a more iPhone-friendly fashion? Granted, I'm only using a WordPress theme on my blog, but this stuff is out there....
Commented on Poker game interrupted by police raid
They took pictures of all the players at the tables, all the rooms, the chips, the cards, the dogs - everything. This was not a home-poker game. There were multiple tables in multple rooms that occur in multiple places several...
Commented on Beautiful illustrated field guide of Sierra Nevada
At least his parents name him properly. Imagine if they called him Jeeves Laws. We'd have a field guide on butlers and all things butlers do. (Note this joke was stolen from some comedian, who was much funnier than me)....

Commented on McDonald's UK CEO: kids are fat because of video games
My son loves McDonalds. He could eat their 7-days-a-week. However, since I'm his parent, we don't go their that often. Remember kids don't drive to McDonalds; their parents do....

Commented on Hiroshima man keeps crocodilian pet
Joel Johnson's comment brought back memories of a delightful TV movie called The Enormous Egg that I saw too many years ago. 'The Enormous Egg' was originally a children's novel by Oliver Butterworth, who wrote a few books for young...

Commented on Pacifist Warcraft player trying to hit the top without killing anything
An interesting experiment, though their definition of a pacifist is pretty loose. Level 28 opens up the Missing Diplomat quest series, and I might actually do the fights (since nobody actually gets killed) to go as far as I can...

msdoran commented on TSA searches, detains 5 year old because his name was on no-fly list
The World had changed. No one said for the better. The towers fell, all reeled from the disaster. A change they said was what was needed after. TSA would save us all forever. Hiring people was what I knew. The coffers opened for us to use. A monumental project to correct the actions of the few. A brave new day for all of us to finally do some good. Across the country I flew, to speak and teach, and preach to the choir. Good times, new times, jobs for all. We had been hit, but stronger it would make us...

Nicely done MSDORAN. Here's my entry (already posted to the game thread - i know, I should've posted here first - dang): http://www.boingboing.net/2008/11/11/we-can-has-games-1.html#comments (true story) To whom it may concern I write to you to share in my complaint as I was singled out in line while trying to board my plane They said that my name was the same as on a list my identity was cleared but still I am rightly pissed...
vetlemakt commented on Pacifist Warcraft player trying to hit the top without killing anything
I don't believe this is doable. Theoretically possible, yes. But doable? I mean, it would take full concentration at all times when travelling, and doing only non-combat quests? That would make getting to 80 VERY difficult. Maybe you have to try the same quest over and over and over and over again before eventually getting there, and then the next one shows to be even harder. If you were doing it for world peace, I am sure you could muster motivation and time for it. But if it's just a wouldn't-it-be-cool-if-project I am afraid you will have a hard time....

Ciarin commented on Another five-year-old on the no-fly list: meet Sam Adams
FYI, the TSA doesn't have a "no fly list". The list of names they get is from other gov't agencies, such as the FBI. The airlines also have a list of names of passengers that they had problems with in the past(unruly, or drunken passengers, etc.). I was in the TSA for 2 years. Never saw a list. There just isn't one. The airlines see a list of names, and mark the ticket for extra screening(this is done by computer automatically, and can also be done manually). The TSA screeners see the ticket with the marking and follow procedures accordingly....
