As a guy that recently left half a carton out all day, on a day when the temperature soared into the triple digits (F), I can confirm:

Milk turns from liquid to solid when heated.

Also: Ew.

My guess: not only is this useless against allergens (for the reasons Bardfinn laid out).. but this thing gets real gross, real fast.

I'm not feeling spiteful, or offended (#31's Douche/Twat observation aside, I find it hard to see how this post could actually offend somebody).

It's just [incoming cliche] I've been reading BB/BBg for a loong time now, and this kinda random annoyed rant.. hyperbole or no.. I just don't know what it's doing here.

It's Boing Boing. Show me something Wonderful.

Apple store employees are going to get new T-shirts.

So, umm.... why is this on Boing Boing Gadgets, again? (Not really the happy celebration of gadgetdom I've grown to expect/love. No real content. Kinda feels like a 250-word excuse to call some college kid a douche)

Sorry, :(

@#45: Thanks for writing-up a thought out response. I was afraid I was just going to be mobbed with insults and FSM references. (that's why I usually keep my mouth shut about these things, and that's why I'll bow out of this discussion for now.)

(that: and it's lunchtime)

@#17: Touche.

@#19: I haven't seen the movie yet, but I really want to. The ads make it seem like it's just a documentary about teachers getting fired for religious beliefs.. but the internet reaction is that it's some insane rant preaching creationism. I wanna see who's right.

..but yeah, this could have been a really nifty post about some super sweet science find. but that headline just reads "Ben Stein is a crazy old man and you are a fool for believing in a higher power; Also: Lizards."

So: frown. :(

Big frown on the unnecessary Ben Stein slam. :(

...and thus was born the phrase: "This new record is dope!"

Not only does the new CIA Anti-terrorist logo look hilariously like the Ghostbusters symbol... but a quick 'Find/Replace' in the lyrics can turn Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters theme into a paranoid, patriotic, jingoistic propaganda song:

If there's something strange in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
Terrorist busters!
If there's something weird and it don't look good
Who you gonna call?
Terrorist busters!
...
I ain't afraid of no Terrorist!

This reminds me of a sign I saw in a grocery store back home: Jumbo cantelopes were available at "2/3.00", which would be 1.50 a piece... but below the big, bold numbers was a tiny li'l "EACH". That meant the two cantelopes were 3 bucks a piece, 6 dollars for the pair.

There's a pic of the offending sign here.

I should mention, though, that I didn't confirm the price by getting myself some cantelopes, and it's likely some kid just screwed-up when they printed-out the sign. But even if this sign isn't as intentionally deceptive a $4 dozen of roses that'll cost you $10, it's still pretty confusing.
