Are hypnodiscs really the smartest thing to be displaying next to drivers of lethal vehicles?

Burns!, your bartender may have lied to you. It's a legal requirement for all establishments that serve alcohol.

"A number of signs are required to be posted at your business, based on the type of license you hold. These are the signs that Liquor Control Agents and local law enforcement will be looking for when checking on compliance with liquor and tobacco laws. "

Bubbele, I can only assume that a term that starts with CAT and ends with FIC has something to do with feline fiction.

Google or boingboing site search might give you a more accurate answer, though.

LOL, Mark's so excited by the subject matter that he forgot how to spell! ;)

Maxoid, I learned the hard way that "oven-safe" does not necessarily mean "broiler-safe." Just a word of caution.
Also, since I eat while moving around a lot, I've found that a Pyrex pie plate is superior to a normal flat plate for preventing spills off the edge while eating foods with sauces.

Hey, stop looking at me funny!

Oops, nevermind...

Compare to this blog's homepage, which currently contains 1.6MB of stuff.

I get 142.66 KB for the current page size.

I'm no expert (nor even an amateur), but isn't a bong a water pipe?

Antinous, I'm confused. Bacon strip or Beggin' Strip?

Oops, let me amend that previous non-editable post:
"I always thought that moderators should neither be seen nor heard" except in postings, guidelines, or t&c's of *official, declared* policy.

I always thought that moderators should neither be seen nor heard. Hmm, a moderator who is willing to engage in discussion? Sounds dangerous to me. (But, then again, I expect moderators to be impartial and neutral... Ahh, silly me.)

#31: didn't you mean:

(fucking beavers, damming all my shit up...)

Cupcake Faerie, I thought Amazon.com was the best place to buy books in Seattle... ;)

MichaelPortent, TechCrunch seems to think that they will be integrated into the Conde Nast family:

They, along with their 8 or so employees, will remain with the company as it is integrated into Wired Digital.

Could somebody please explain why "steampunk" is interesting or cool? I missed the original memo...

That video was about 1 minute longer than it needed to be. /em ADD

Gobo, didn't you notice the glowing blue LED power indicator? ;)

Add some bird droppings to resemble salt and pepper...

The spoon is nice and all, but can I get one with Bluetooth connectivity?

#37 - Deinventing the wheel, perhaps?

@12 WeightedCompanionCube, but mostly @ the responses:

Good point, but I think you could have added an additional step at the end of your post:
...and stand up against it with whatever resources you have or whatever resources you are willing to sacrifice.

#8 GeekPDX, regarding option #2:
What I have done in a similar situation is to also add a cheap timer (Intermatic, you know those ones with the 24h dial and little tabs that turn/off the outlet?), and set it up to powercycle at 3:00am for 15 minutes (the minimum amount of times that you can set the tabs up for). About $10, and the timers should be good for at least 3 year's worth of continuous use.

Cat Inbox or Cat In Box?

trick setup, not trick shot. where are the masse shots, the rail bounces, any english on the cue ball?

#6 Gia: taking pictures of the signage in supremacist's parking lots is very dangerous. Ignore all of these users clamoring for pictures.

@13: does September, 18, 2007 work for you?

Odd, since I thought France used day/month format for date and a 24-hour clock for time.

OK, other than some new ads and sponsor-bashing that's going on here, I really don't detect any effect on the substantive quality of the Boing Boing posts. There are better and bigger things to whine about, people...

I've never understood the need to make fun of people who are different than you.

Nevermind the gas powered blender above, what you really need is a hand-cranked blender:

The few times that I had actually gone to the hassle of preparing a cheat sheet did not actually result in any cheating. Just the repetition from my notes onto the sheet and the stress of the situation gave me the short-term memory boost that I needed, and I threw the sheet away before the test started.

I feel sorry for the person who had to "freeze" while at the ticket window...

I cannot find a reference to either "Golden Earring" or "When the Lady Smiles" by searching her site with Google (+site:hillaryclinton.com to query).

Google News contains one reference (from the disreputable source of the Huffington Post), and all generic web searches seem to be blogspam.

Verification, please?

Looks like crap that nobody needs, and it's probably bad for the environment, too...

It won't work with my car, due to laminated side glass. (Volvo)

bobkat, they're cheaper ($15) on thinkgeek.com

i'd love to get one of these shower heads, but there's no way that i'm breaking up with my current one.

I'm willing to bet that, after you stomp on it, it's insides are the same colour as any other cockroach.

There is circumstantial evidence linking this metal (AL) with Alzheimer's disease but no causal relationship has yet been proved. As evidence for other causes continues to grow, a possible link with aluminium seems increasingly unlikely.
http://www.alzheimers.org.uk/site/scripts/documents_info.php?documentID=99

yet:
Epidemiologic evidence strongly suggests a causal role for local environmental conditions relating to availability of aluminum, calcium, and magnesium. In view of the fact that a major consequence of acid rain is the liberation of large amounts of aluminum in bioavailable forms, concerns are raised about possible human health risks of this environmental phenomenon.

I'll not take my chances. I also don't consume ecstasy, meth, or dope, bzishi.

My oven does not have a setting for 10-Q. I'm guessing 451°F?
