The Lyrids Are Coming!
SeaDour writes "The year's first meteor shower, the Lyrids, will peak in the pre-dawn hours of April 22nd when the Earth plows through the debris trail of Comet Thatcher at a relative velocity of 49 km/s (110,000 mph). Lyrids usually aren't as numerous as other showers (such as the famed Leonids), but they're well-known for their spectacular tails; you can expect to see about 5-20 meteors per hour, depending on the severity of your local light pollution. Unfortunately, my current location in the midwest under stormy skies puts me at a bit of a disposition, but hopefully some other Slashdotters can share their observations with us tomorrow."

My server could never withstand /.'ing and i don't want to be one of those lamers that posts a link that can't handle the traffic. ... I got some great Orionid and Perseid shots last yr too...
Is Wayne Brady gonna have to choke a bitch?
when frodo was dry humping bilbo up the ass in a classroom at gryffendorf then harry potter walked in and started tossing frodo's salad HOLY SHIT I DO NOT CARE
hey guys,
:) if you're reading this, i look forward to meeting you in person, john!
i'm not sure exactly what i'm doing here. so...bear with me!
i clicked "geeky" on my match.com personals profile, thinking that i'd maybe get hooked up with somebody who was into math or some kind of toy train hobby or something...boy howdy was i in for a shock! i went on 4 dates with guys who all got on match.com because of osdn personals from slash-dot! 4 guys!
anyway, it didn't really work out with any of them, because it seemed like they were all under some kind of mind-control robot or something! i was like "what do you think about office? office 97 is enough for me, but there are some things about xp that are cool too...." the first guy i asked that to exploded on this tyrade about how office was evil, and that it uses html that's invalid...blah blah blah, whatever...i figured "ok, this guys a freak, but i'm not giving up that easily." so guy number two and i are having dinner, and just as a test i bring up office, and he says the *exact* *same* *things* the first guy said! it was like he was reading from a script! i'm thinking to myself "is everybody from slash-dot programmed to say the same thing or what?" i decided to do a bit of investigation.
i actually surfed over to slash-dot and read some of the articles...mostly they were pretty boring, and the comments were just like i expected judging from my previous past experience: scripted!!! just when i was about to completely write the whole thing off, i found a post from some guy who's with anti-slash, some kind of anti-slash-dot website. i mailed him and was all "i so agree with you guys, look at what sheap these slash-dot people are!" he wrote back and made some funny comments (funny and so *true*!...that is soooo the best kind of humor...but i dirgress...) and guess what? this weekend i'm supposed to meet him for dinner
anyway, that's my story. ladies: if you're looking for the real cool geeks, check out anti-slash. and fellas, you should check it out too and maybe use to to break out of your mind-control suits!
ok see ya later,
cyndi

nuts in your mouth.
I have two scientific proposals, one basically low-tech, and one involving
cutting edge technology. They have little in common except that each, if
implemented, might be construed as social engineering - dangerous when done by
politicians or sociologists, but perhaps of value when performed by the
scientific/intellectual elite. I'll cover the low tech proposal first.
To begin, we need to find a small group (20 - 30) of low income (white trailer
trash would do nicely) expecting mothers who are (a) quite attractive and show
past performance of producing attractive children and (b) would be willing, for
a modest fee, to surrender their female child for the furtherance of science.
Next, take these newborn infants away from their birth mothers and insure that
they are fed formula only from "bottles" shaped like the adult human penis. As
the children develop into the crawling stage, "penis feeders" would be mounted
to the walls of their cages. Of course the formula would change to meet their
developing nutritional needs, but no human contact, language development or
socialization would be allowed. At an appropriate point, air bladders in their
"penis feeders" would inflate to simulate erection, so that the children learn
that a period of sucking is required before they are rewarded with food. No
other source of food is allowed. At about 5 -6 years of age the girls would be
taught to defecate in one corner of their cage, and at about 10 - 12 years of
age would be slowly introduced to their human handlers, but again, no language
or socialization skills are taught. At about 13 - 14 years of age the really
interesting part of the experiment begins : the girls are lead on a leash out
of their cage for "private feedings" with select staff members. These men take
careful notes comparing the fellatio skills of the test subjects to a control
adult female group (probably prostitutes). If the young girls' skills compare
favorably, then they could be shipped to government research laboratories and
housed in cages identical to the ones they were raised in. "Private feedings"
would be used as a performance incentive for the best programmers, nuclear
scientists, geneticists, engineers, etc. Such an incentive program might be
just what's needed to restore the prestige of the scientific professions in
this country and to lessen the flow of students into socially useless
professions like law, sociology, and business administration. If nothing else,
from a purely scientific point of view, I think it would be interesting to see
whether the experiment could yield "fellatio superwomen."
The second proposal is much broader in scope, and its feasibility depends, in
part, on the successful completion of the Human Genome Project. The idea in a
nutshell is this: All pregnant women would be required to report before the 3rd
month of pregnancy to a public health clinic where an in utero examination of
the fetus' genetic material is conducted. Any red flags raised by the test
(likelihood of fatal disease, likelihood of mental retardation, etc) would mean
destruction of the fetus. This would also be the perfect time to cross match
the mother with information from previous IQ tests, criminal justice system
files, demographic data, etc. Gradually, as not to arouse suspicions, mothers
with low IQ scores , criminal histories, or even just the wrong demographics
would be presented with bogus test results indicating that their fetus must be
destroyed. This could only have a beneficial effect on society, with minimal
inconvenience to the population. And last but not least, this would also be a
logical point to implement population control, the one topic our spineless shit
politicians won't face.
Oh well, more about that later.
For some reason I misread that as: :D
