No locked door or wall can stop any one who is determined enough.

Photographers aren't terrorists and vice-versa

#29 Antinous, I agree. I wasn't there, I didn't see what my mother saw. I am just taking her believe at face value.

#34 jere7my, I agree with the predicament as well. I however do believe a worker would be wearing a uniform. When my mother looked at him odly, he moved into another car and appeared to be non-confronting.

#36 cavalaxis, please read all my updates before responding to just the first one. I will state again that I know skin color or country of origin has nothing to do with the "evilness" of a person. I do not always glance suspiciously at Middle Eastern people, in fact in the past several years I have been more suspicious of Caucasian people. (Background info: I am Hispanic by law, but everyone thinks I am Caucasian based off my skin color.)

#37 Takuan, are you referring to the "plane" that looks like a missile? I highly doubt that the US attacked their own center of operations.

Clever direct marketing leaflet for pizza delivery

I agree it's clever, but I do not like that. First of all I never look out the peep hole unless someone is knocking on the door or ringing the door bell, thus I wouldn't see it through the peep hole for weeks (I would take it off before then). Secondly, if someone were at the door and I couldn't see who it is because that thing is in the way, I wouldn't open the door.

Mitch : You are right. I apologize, I should have been more clear about my thoughts.

I take it for granted that I know people who appear and also are of Middle Eastern origin. I didn't mean to stereotype. I in fact hate stereotypes which I why I should have chosen my words more carefully. Also, not every terrorist is of Middle-Eastern origin, Timothy McVey was Caucasian.

The terrorists that we believe, behave the way they do because of their radical religious beliefs. Not everyone who is Islam believes that killing innocent people will give them 72 virgins inn their after life. Dammit, I don't want to turn this into a religious discussion, I just want to express that the terrorists we believe of today do their actions based on their beliefs, not their skin color or country of origin.

It is my belief that the London transport bombers actually rode the subways one year previously during the summer to count how many people were riding in different trains at different times.

It is my belief because my mother visiting London riding the subways then saw a 20 or so year old man of Middle Eastern origin counting people and writing numbers on a small notepad. She told a police officer when she got off the subway, however I don't know if they connected that event with the bombings a year later.

I would be a lot more worried about someone who appeared to be of Middle Eastern origin who is counting people in a public place than an old grandma taking pictures of her grandchildren in front of a building.

Wovel -- an audience-plotted web-novel

May 31, 2008 1:30pm

It actually started here: www.Glypho.com

Unfortunately it never kept the momentum.

This is an awesome site were people can read what other wrote, add suggestions for plots or characters, even write a chapter for the book, other users then vote for what chapter is accepted.

European airlines test spycams in every seat that "detect terrorism" in your facial expressions

May 30, 2008 2:46am

Now that terrorists know it's there, they can cover it up, cover their face (by reading a magazine), or train their facial expressions.

Adventurer will live 300 days as Robinson Crusoe

@PANOPTACON: When I saw the ads for that movie I thought it would be awesome to watch. When I finally got around to watching it, I thought it would be an inspiration. After I finally watched it, I was sad. It still inspired me, but not in the way I originally thought it would.

I do recommend to anyone to watch this movie.

The terrorist setting next to me in the library reading over my shoulder would like to thank you for the idea and ask what the address is for that airport.

Moral of the story, first wipe the HDD and re-install the OS before re-using a stolen laptop.

Where did the "zen" part come in? I think it should just be titled: "WTF?" period.

February 6, 2008 7:33pm

It's an awesome idea and I would love to participate... but what kind of contest is this?! $20 to enter? Why have sponsors when they will easily get the prize money and profit from the entrance fees. Does any one want to pay for me to enter :-)
