• Commented on Man to marry his video game girlfriend this Sunday
  "Who cares?" is my reflexive thought. He's doing it for attention. Who knows or cares why, but the fact that he's intentionally making it as public as possible makes it obvious that he likes the attention....
• Commented on Humans are domesticating themselves with smaller brains as a result
  I don't understand, and I don't have time to figure it out. I have ten litters of screaming retarded children to slop, and half of them are already pregnant with my grandkids....
• Commented on Apple patents anti-user attention-complianceware
  If you're too poor to buy an Apple computer, you can just patch together an IBM box and VM whatever bootlegged Apple OS/programs you want but can't get with Windows or *nix platforms. Internet piracy has made this a relatively...
• Commented on Transborder Immigrant Tool helps Mexicans cross over safely
  @33 I've been reading too many stupid websites and cannot tell anymore if you're joking or not. @34 Well that seems obvious now. All I've ever used is old-fashioned equipment; hatchet, fishing kit, compass, topo map and so on....
• Commented on Stupid, draw back your bow
  Now that you mention it......
• Commented on Transborder Immigrant Tool helps Mexicans cross over safely
  Setting aside moral and political opinions, I do have to say that the invention is pretty cool in a video game-like way. I dunno much about conventional GPS, but it would be handy to have something like this for long...
• Commented on Stupid, draw back your bow
  I'd agree, except that the guy already had a wedding band on and made comments about visiting lot lizards. It's hard to feel pity for a guy who's only apparent goal in life is to do his gonads' bidding, regardless...
• Commented on Stupid, draw back your bow
  I remember talking a long time ago with a rather disheveled trucker. A bulky, square-built and middle-aged woman passed nearby, and the trucker said something to me about her boobs. Apparently he didn't see the rest of her, so I...
• Commented on Dress made with 24,000 LEDs
  Venus Hum not included. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5-ClvcHtK4...
• Commented on Bicycle defense kit fits in Altoids tin
  Rule #1 in dealing with the public in any capacity whatsoever is: "Never assume malice when incompetence will do." You can feel free to replace "incompetence" with "ignorance" if you like. But the point is that the overwhelming majority of...
• Commented on Sex, then amnesia
  I can honestly say that I'd tell everyone I met about that, regardless of whether I did it to her or she did it to me. That's an achievement worthy of bragging rights....
• Commented on George McKelvey "My Teenage Fallout Queen" 1964
  It took me like three or four full seconds to realize this was a joke. But once my sloth-like brain caught on, I liked it. Sorry to hear George isn't with us anymore, but I hope he enjoyed some success...
• Commented on Thieves who stole from child get a public shaming
  I understand from the article that the women aren't in sound financial shape right now, which likely motivated their behavior. I'm not exactly in great shape these days, either. But if you're in good enough shape that you can go...

• Commented on 3D printed ban-hammer
  You could make a far more heavy-duty version of this, too. Most people don't have a CNC plasma cutter on hand, but you can hire it out to someone else, to cut the letters out of 0.25" steel plate (woo!)...
• Commented on Bike outfited with one-cylinder engine
  I'm surprised nobody's posted this yet. Vintageprojects.com has had some plans for one of these up for as long as I've known about their site. I don't know how hard it would be to find a motor identical to the...
• Commented on Review: Dyson DC25 Blueprint LE
  The other day, I found an old Hoover upright in the shop. It looked like hell, all stained and held together with tape. But it still worked, and worked pretty well, actually. I also have a $50 RIGID brand shop...
• Commented on Advisor: My husband has a virtual girlfriend
  I'm glad Koh recognizes Rinko as a bit of software and not a real human. I myself love a good AI, and I've met a few that were able to push those instinctual-level empathetic buttons. Any botmaster would take that...
• Commented on Science Question from a Toddler: All Eyes on the Turtle
  It isn't my place to answer anyone else's questions, but it just looks like fun. Please pardon my impropriety. @stylinghead: Depends on how hard you push. @Anon, about the trees: Trees are made of elements found in the earth, so...
• Commented on Sikh Holy Men Wearing Spectacularly Large Turbans
  I would have guessed larger turban -> more hair -> older age -> greater wisdom....
• Commented on Woman with dystonia can only walk backwards
  Now that I told ya a little bit about myself let me tell ya a little bit about this dance It's real easy to do - check it out: First I limp to the side like my leg was broken...
• Commented on 86-year-old WWII vet on gay marriage: "What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?"
  Hiding behind a Bible doesn't make you right; it holds you back and renders you beneath the issue being discussed. Your assumption that I do not know whereof I speak is also an example of ignorant bigotry, though in this...
• Commented on 86-year-old WWII vet on gay marriage: "What do you think I fought for in Omaha Beach?"
  It's reassuring to see a man of his stature take that stance, and to stand up in front of everyone and put the bigots in their place. That was a beautiful speech from a respectable and noble man....
• Commented on Mouse inside a PC case
  That is pretty cute, but I hope she got the little booger out of there before it peed all over everything or chewed the wires....
• Commented on The trucker pulp fiction of Germany
  There are a lot of good people out there whose job happens to be in trucking. But despite that, every single media portrayal of them that I've ever seen was either corny or made the truckers appear universally simple-minded. It...
• Commented on The Nerdy Dozens
  Yo mama so fat, when she walk across the room, the radio skips....
• Commented on Sabotage on the Large Hadron Collider?
  I'm guessing this is either a typically quirky joke among physicists that's gotten out of hand, or maybe the stress of working on the LHC is finally starting to crack them up a bit. It would take an insane amount...
• Commented on French fry coated hot dog on a stick
  I'd try it, but the bacon-wrapped hot dogs look even better. Cholesterol be damned!...
• Commented on Disney gags on "Ho White" beer
  Well, that's a very classy advert. I'll be sure to run right out and buy as much of their obviously high-quality beer as I can. Because the label doesn't at all lead me to assume the contents of the bottle...
• Commented on Toyota marketing stalks and terrorizes woman, claims she consented by doing an online personality test
  Immediately below this article, under the heading "More items," is the headline, "Sympathy for the Lamprey." I think that sums-up what marketing people are to the rest of us. They serve no purpose, preferring instead to siphon away resources and...
