no one has mentioned any of the other items listed on the site! i must say i agree with most of the rest.

however, if they ever invent a small lightsaber for cutting bread that instantly toasts it, like in the recent Hitchhiker's Guide movie, i'm all over it!

on another note, I say "Canadia" all the time >__

Is this along the same lines of that "Canada's National Igloo" thing? Make up something ridiculous about the country to see if we American's notice?

^ I was going to bring up Alex too. That parrot's been counting since the 80's, hasn't he? As I recall though, he never got past 8. He was an amazing animal.

ok sorry no, i didn't read the article becuase the brief description was nasty enough. yeah if she had no nerves left in the area and did it every night for years, i suppose it's possible. still i think you might see the patch of bare bone, or something. i think you either need to be pretty unobservant or in incredible denial not to realize you were doing something terrible to yourself.

how in the hell would you not notice that you were scratching through you skull? i mean seriously. i think you would notice this before you managed to get all the way to you brain.

actually... "Each tray is constructed to last using a century old technique which applies high pressure laminate to an environmentally friendly, recycled wood core."

i immediately thought of some trays i saw on Elsewares.com and sure enough they're by the same person. Only these are only $65.

it should be noted that temporary tattoos can easily be applied to other surfaces. i had one on the frame of my bunk bed for several years.

yeah, i don't remember ever seeing anyone write on their palm. usually my friends used their arms

yeah my boyfriend has a friend that chews tobacco and he just spits it into empty bottles. nothing worse than finding a mountain dew bottle in your kitchen full of nicotine and spit.

do we win a prize for making this flag? seriously?

and of course your calculations are only Joe if exactly the same 22 million people stay in New York for those 22 years. No one can be born or move to the city in that time. As I am sure there are at least 1000 new people in NYC every day, his task is impossible.

ummm some of you seem to be missing the point. while it is in fact ironic for them to be making flags supporting freedom for a land they oppress... the REALLY funny part is the hippies giving money to the government suppressing the people they want to free, as a show of how much they care.

on the flip side, how in the hell do all of these adults not know what Mike's is? They have huge ad campaigns and take up a sizable chunk of the beer section in just about every store. It's one of the more popular alcoholic beverages today... do these people think Smirnoff Ice is a brand of soda too?

i don't understand. those are all clearly photoshopped... unless those shoes come with built-in hair and toenails.

as you can probably tell i meant to start that post with "the hell?" not "they hell"

they hell? when we were seniors, one of my friends dressed up in a bunny suit and a dozen or so of us in ninja outfits ran up and pretended to beat the crap out of him in the cafeteria during snack break. The principal was there and he laughed right along with us.

i prefer to make throw pillows out of my old shirts. that is, if i liked the design.

every year they make one of the items from the April Fools catalogue for sale, and while I think it's going to be the caffeinated breakfast cereal, perhaps it will be this.

while a service like this definitely has the potential to be inhumane, i sort of like the concept. you see, lately i've been thinking i might want a beagle. everything i've read suggests that they would be a good match for me temperament-wise, however, i don't know anyone who owns one, and the nearest breeder is several hours away. it would be lovely to rent a beagle for a few hours and see first hand what their temperament is like.

or as others have said, it would be great to rent a dog to go play in the park with for a while, or maybe to take on an outing with your children to see how they like a dog.

also, think of how many people in japan live in small apartments with no room for a doggie of their own.

is anyone else wondering what a 29 year old had to do a science project for?

that page doesnt work at all in firefox

i was so upset after reading the article before this (TSA vs. Babies)that i was starting to think that maybe i wouldn't come back to boing boing for a few days... but this really cheered me up.

#44 did you actually READ this article?

"I'm sad, but people with heart disease can't fly... That is accidental..."

ummm the BABY was flown there to have SURGERY and was KEPT FROM GOING TO THE HOSPITAL SO IT DIED. IT did not die in flight or because of the flight, it died because it was detained afterward. Jesus.

woah what the hell? it linked to a totally different website that time. now it says 40

where in hte hell are you guys seeing $40? it says $21...

yeah mooserov, i was just thinking that the age old pricing rule of "if you have to ask, you don't want to know" most likely applies here.

wow, what a bizarre concept. you actually have to pay to use a shopping cart in england? here in the states, you just grab one on your way into the store. In every row in the parking lot there are special places reserved to put the carts, and there is a person in the store whose job it is to round up the carts and bring them back inside.

also, that pizza place has been in business since 1939. I find it totally plausible that the blockage is 60-someodd years worth of flour and pizza dough that was washed down the drain.

ok... so it's a little further than a block and a half. Google maps says .4 of a mile from my house to Sam's. But still you'd think I would have heard about this somewhere other than here.

this is totally crazy! i literally live about a block and a half away from this clog and where do i find out about it? Boing Boing!!

yeah i really don't see anything steampunk about that picture...

am i crazy or are the themes "Aja Tiger" and "Tea House" definitely the work of the lovely people at www.meomi.com, who recently brought us the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Mascots?
