As @ALAN said, this is an easy one: "Is that a flip phone in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"
Bell Canada: We have to screw up other ISPs' connections or our retail customers will suffer by comparison

Of course they don't want to provide better service for someone else's customer, why is this odd? They been hamstringing US Bells since the breakup of AT&T, why doesn't COMCAST have to provide the same sort of access to their competitors? Regulation...deregulation...neither seems to work...
Tear-free onion engineered
February 6, 2008 1:21pm
Actually all you have to do to make tearless onions is grow them in sulfur free soil--aka Vidalia onions. Although they haven't done a great job mapping sulfur content of soil in Vidalia and, consequently, you can get some with plenty of tears, when they don't have tears, it is pretty neat.

Timeless graphic design--you could put that box on a shelf today and it would look better than most...

You gotta love the "make it work" engineering going on here. It's got everything from tape to flip-flops to door-stops. If I were stuck in a real-life Poseiden Adventure, I'd want these guys with me. Not to mention that they know how to relax.
Credit card fraudsters use custom domain
December 18, 2007 4:58pm
Come on, have you looked at the site? They can keep you from "loosing" your money! I, for one, know that my money is already too loose, I need to tighten it up. It's Interpol and FBI approved, what could go wrong? I'll be back in three minutes...

First/Worst: Online Nickname?
December 9, 2007 3:50pm
Oh yeah, it was "The Dungeon" on my Atari 1200XL in the early 80's. I was, of course, "Dungeon Lord." I guess there was too much D&D in there somewhere. I have such fond memories of x-modem uploads to my BBS...

Hmmm, I thought squatting was all the rage back then.
Coal/Tuberculosis link explored

I thought same as Keneke, brief scan of paper restored confidence in peer-review process. Paper goes beyond just proposing correlation...
Stiletto TiBone Solid Titanium Hammer
October 9, 2007 2:18pm
I used to have this great ad for a titanium hammer that claimed, because it was half the weight of a steel hammer, you could drive nails twice as fast! Really, how is titanium better than steel for a hammer? Maybe it's good for explosive environments because it's non-sparking?

I hope this setup isn't in Boston, that looks like an improvised hoax device there with that button and wire and whatnot...and there clearly appears to be an explosion occurring in the background...
