  1. Re:Weird on MRI Magnets Cause Nystagmus · · Score: 1

    Nope. There's even some cool experiments involving magnetic manipulation of the brain. Check out the God Helmet (of course, there's some controversy over this one and it looks like sketchy science, but I think it still demonstrates that EM fields can have biological effects).

  2. Re:IEEE on Atomic Antennae Transmit Quantum Information · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's much better than the router I got from my ISP! Where do I sign up?

  3. There's a 'Primer' joke in here somewhere on Italian Scientists Demonstrate Cold Fusion? · · Score: 4, Funny

    They later found that a stopwatch placed inside the box ran for about 1300 times longer than the time elapsed outside the box.

  4. Re:Martini on The Vending Machines of the Future · · Score: 4, Funny

    I went to Japan a couple years ago and did quite a bit of cycling around Tsukuba. Pocari Sweat is like their Gatorade. It tastes fine at first, but the more you drink it, the more it actually tastes like sweat. By the end of a long day, you might as well be ringing out your shirt.

  5. Re:Something is missing here on Pacific Trash Vortex To Become Habitable Island? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Windmills do not work that way! Good night!

  6. Re:Apple on Consumer Reports Can't Recommend iPhone 4 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Good thing, too. If you touch it, it will drop your calls.

  7. Re:Brains on Rats Breathe Air From Lungs Grown In the Lab · · Score: 2, Informative

    Actually, the pace of the heart is set by the SA node. The brainstem and other factors can make the heart beat faster or slower in response to stress, but the heart paces itself.

  8. Re:these kids today on 7th Graders Find Large Cave On Mars · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And we had to escape gravity wells both ways!

  9. cool strawman, dude on Utah Attorney General Tweets Execution Order · · Score: 4, Funny

    Twitter isn't the only form of electronic communication. It is, however, the most asinine and informal. I wouldn't want the news of my upcoming demise originating from the same site responsible for informing millions that Lance Armstrong woke up and is preparing a delicious sandwich.

  10. Re:serviceability on Liquid Blade Brings Immersion Cooling To Blade Servers · · Score: 5, Funny

    The IT department is required to have SCUBA certification for regular maintenance.

  11. Re:No, this won't work on OLED Film Could Provide Cheap Night Vision For Cars · · Score: 1

    Oh great. Next you're going to tell me that there won't be any jetpacks, flying cars, or invisibility cloaks.

  12. FIRST POST!!!1 on Fatal Flaw Discovered In Invisibility Cloaks · · Score: 1

    ... Although, if TFA is to be believed, it won't appear to be.

  13. Re:So... on George Washington Racks Up 220 Years of Late Fees At Library · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not at your local library, if you live in New York.

  14. Re:Will this radiation sweep over the rim on Supermassive Black Holes Can Abort Star Formation · · Score: 1

    That's pretty far away, and radiation strength decays with an inverse square relationship to distance. I'd like to think we're safe.

  15. Re:***Spot The Zombie*** on What Chernobyl Looks Like In 2010 · · Score: 1

    There are no zombies in that picture. If there were, I'd have zeroed in on the two glowing points of light watching me patiently and hungrily from the shadows immediately.

  16. Re:Could someone explain... on Hubble Builds 3D Dark Matter Map · · Score: 4, Informative

    You could do it based on movement speeds. Things in the background of an image move slower than those in the midground when you change your position--If the thing in the background, a galaxy or something, moves in a strange way, then you can be sure it's being lensed. I'm not sure if the Earth moves enough for this to be useful, though, given the scale.

  17. Re:Looks like a studio to me on LRO Photographs Soviet Lunar Landers From the '70s · · Score: 1

    It was a soundstage on mars.

  18. Re:Quick on Japan To Standardize Electric Vehicle Chargers · · Score: 1, Interesting

    We need better education systems for our children to foster American puns so that we can compete with European and Asian puns.

  19. Re:Ellipse != Circle on Pi Day and an Interview With a Pi Researcher · · Score: 1

    I can't wait for you to be modded informative for that.

  20. In 1.5 Million Years... on Nearby Star Forecast To Skirt Solar System · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ... I'll get right on it!

  21. Re:Been done? on Developing a Vandalism Detector For Wikipedia · · Score: 4, Funny

    The article on anti-vandalism bots had been recently vandalized when they were doing their preliminary research.

  22. Re:Brand-name Power on BlackBerry Bold Tops Radiation Ranking · · Score: 2, Funny

    I hope this doesn't turn into a boron and predictable thread of chemistry puns.

  23. Re:What this really means is ... on Real-Time, Movie-Quality CGI For Games · · Score: 1

    No, grammar works in RPN.

  24. Cosmos on MIT's Flyfire To Paint Images In the Sky Using Micro-Helicopters · · Score: 1

    Finally we have a solution to the issue of light pollution inhibiting our view of the cosmos. Now we can simulate the starry night sky using tiny floating LED-clad robots.

  25. Re:Incomplete StarCraft - LAN Play = NO PURCHASE on StarCraft II Closed Beta Begins · · Score: 1

    They don't put up with it. Intrusive DRM causes people to skip games or pirate them. SCII is one of the few games that has enough hype to overcome this sort of thing.
