Howl-o-ween

qaz submits a story about a remote-controlled graveyard. Supposedly this site is another computer-controlled setup, but it's not responding at the moment. Still looking for a pumpkin carving pattern (the Ellen Feiss pattern is nice too)? Or perhaps you'd prefer yet another punkin-chunking machine, a new model which has several news stories about it: here and here. And if spooky stories are more your style, everything2 is running a scary story contest (see last year's for ideas).

Re:Holloween must be boycott'ed

[mustangdavis]

"If you beleive in morality and the Gospel you and you're family mus't boycott Holloween. It is a Pagan holliday that celebrates pure Evil and the power of Satin. Do not allow you're children to wear costume, do not let them go to holloween party's, and do not hand out candy to kid's who are glorrifying Satin. This type of holliday has no place in a post 9-11 world!"

*Hates feeding a troll, but I have karma to burn*

I am assuming that you are American since you are using 9-11 as your excuse (as are too many other radicals and blood suckers in our society) for this post.

Do you understand that the U.S. has FREEDOM OF SPEECH??? It is great that you have your beliefs on this matter, but don't go pushing your feelings and beliefs onto others!

Besides, you take halloween too seriously if you really believe that crap. Halloween can be a time to have fun, dress up as your favorite movie character, super hero, or monster if you prefer. It is a time when you can act goofy and not have people think too much less of you. IT is also a great excuse for getting together with friends and getting drunk!

Besides, this post isn't just about halloween .. it is about this cool software and hardware package this guy put together. Something VERY similar could be used for X-mas ... and I'm sure, since you seem to be anti-Satan, that you would want to use this to celebrate something with a more positive, religious conotation.

Lighten up man - and realize that although this instance of this equipment is being used "for evil", it could also be used "for good"!
