There already are some "Google Maps" type applications for the brain...see eg Brain maps online .

They now have an application that allows you to place zoomable images on web pages (it says here).

jlbraun, your thoughtful comment will bring such comfort to the parents of every depressed teenager who has "offed" himself with a gun. Weed 'em out of the gene pool, eh?

I'm always kind of puzzled about PETA's holier-than-thouness about exploiting animals, but obliviousness to exploiting women..."bikini-clad hottie outside McDonalds" is one of their staple events.

Anyway, nothing against a vegan stripper as long as she doesn't fart during a lap dance.

I'm joking of course, but it is the logical endpoint of NRA "guns prevent crime" reasoning.

And in fact, it seems to me there would be a problem say with a plane arriving from the US with armed marshalls on board into say the UK where guns are basically illegal. I guess there is a protocol to cover eg security for visiting VIPs, military personnel etc, but it might have to be modified/extended.

It is contemptible for the government to be trying to guard the people in this way.

Clearly, the right way to approach this is to follow Constitutional intent, ie, arm the people.

All airline passengers on international flights should be required to carry firearms in cabin baggage. If they are pussy Europeans who don't own guns, they can be issued one at departure (after clearing security so there are no hassles with limpdick Europansy gun control laws).

Wait...they recommend you "archive" your music to an audio PC? I thought the RIAA just called that piracy.

I've been getting this a lot when I surf Google Groups using Safari. Someone on a forum there said it's a bug that affects all browsers except IE.

Well, they didn't know until after they'd dredged the thing up and opened it, which was probably a bit late.

Lots of old things in the sea...you can fish up lobsters over a century old, and that Patagonian Toothfish ("Chilean Seabass") fillet in the supermarket might be the same age.

As for the clams, people who know tell me they smell like rotten eggs because their metabolism is sulfur-based. So not very tasty.

Wasn't there a very similar story a few months ago about a man who bought a video camera from Best Buy that turned out to be tins of tomato soup? I wonder how that turned out.

I'm surprised she hasn't attracted attention from the FBI already, and not in a good way. Good thing her name isn't "Shahanna Islam" or she might be getting very different treatment for trying to buy Stinger missiles on the internet.

The Performing Rights Society is taking a valuable step to prevent noise pollution. Soon, silence will reign and no-one will be exposed to music.

There's a flaw in this plan somewhere...

I've never understood "For Immediate Release." If you don't want them to release it, why are you sending them the press release in the first place? If you want to embargo it, put an embargo notice on top. Otherwise save the poor pixels.
