Sure, they were just tourists...
THIS TIME!
NEVAR LET DOWN UR GARD!

I've applied for a patent for a process called gravity. I'll let you know how it turns out.

I contacted the company when I first saw this post and left my "er..." comment. They just got back to me:

Thank you for your email to PlanToys.

We have title all the doll family as “doll family” because we wanted everyone to feel equal and not differentiated.

We would like to thank you very much for bringing this to our notice, customer's ideas and complaints are always our valuable suggestions to improve our organization.

Best regards,

Ms. Bhavana B.
Marketing Executive
Plan Creations Co., Ltd.

So uh. There you have it.

Er...

Hysterical.

I really wish people would lay off occult engineers. I had a double major in occult engineering and necromantical science, went to grad school, and have been working for a respected dark arts firm for the past five years.

A warning of NSFW would be nice. Like, REALLY NICE. But thanks for sharing this, it's great.

Hmm. Listened to this mix, and the whole thing just sounds very jejune and uninspired. Disappointing, really.

I was wondering why the quoted text was a bunch of borderline nonsensical gobbledygook. Then I saw that the linked page goes through translate.google.com.

Reup?

Am I doing something wrong? I go to the site, find the pentacycle, click it, and it gives me one picture and some text...

Same here, LSK. And is it just me or does that guy over enunciate? Like... a lot.

An experimental helmet which scientists say could reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease within weeks of being used is to be tried out on patients.

This is right up there with that sea water spray post.

@ #18, heaven forbid we abbreviate. People know what we're talking about, nobody is going to think we're talking about plain old sage.

Anyway, if the stuff has lasted this long, is it really running a risk of being banned in the whole US? What reasons would they have for doing it? Is it addictive? Does it have harmful effects on one's health?

Indeed. I know BoingBoing hasn't ever tried to hide under the guise of being "fair and balanced" when it comes to such issues, but the headline is factually misleading. I think all of us here can read between the lines and make our own conclusions concerning the truthfulness of the MPAA's statement (I happen to think "human error" is utter bullshit, as you do) but you got my hopes up when you said they admitted (ADMITTED!!!) to blatant lying.

Pardon my ignorance but:
1. Are there fish in the East River/harbor?
2. If yes, how might this waterfall affect said fish? Just wondering.

Looks like an interesting enough project.

@Stu Mark
Hahaha uh dude, it's completely fictional. I thought that was clear.

Came here to say exactly what #3 said. They aren't rubber, they're plastic.

Yikes, that sucks.

That was hysterical.

Also it's Donnie, not Danny.

I never knew you ran Dethroner! I love that blog.

Wow, that thing is surprisingly cute. Look at all that fur! I wanna pet it!

Thanks for this, I've gone and downloaded 2002-2007.

MrFitz: I was able to watch the entire video for the sole reason that it was incredibly easy to convince myself they were eating chocolate mousse. That is, until they started vomiting into each other's mouths... convincing myself they were birds or ants was considerably more difficult.

Hilarious. I'd love to see the comments on the back as well.

"Actually I'm a bit concerned about leaving a leather bag in the sun for several hours a day. I don't think that is the best way to treat leather."

I was going to leave a comment saying "one wonders how leaving the leather out in the sun for many hours might affect it..." but you've beat me to it. Anyone have any experience in this field?

Mr. Doctorow, this may be interpreted as a backhanded compliment, but long story short my respect for you has increased since reading your wonderful counters to certain comments.

Fwiw, the two songs do not sound exactly alike, not by a longshot.

Look out! Shark!

Bloody hell, I just uploaded to Firefox 2.0 not more than a week ago!

Or... not. It said "this video has been removed" a minute ago. Either you fixed it real quick or YouTube is a liar.

Link is borked.

Can anyone tell me what the instrument he's playing towards the end is?

Hey, there's a familiar face in the portraits section. Thanks for linking this guy, too.
