  7. My Favorite Prank on Geeky April Fools' Day Prank Roundup · · Score: 5, Funny

    April, 2003. I was living in a large tent, on the Persian Gulf coast, in northern Kuwait. I returned to my cot after a hard days work, where I was greeted by a fake plastic snake. I was not surprised, due to the fact I noticed Spc Harris fighting laughter while keeping a watchful eye on me as I entered the tent.

    I am one for vengence, so my mind immediately began cooking up a scheme. The roof of the tent was made of a double layer of thick canvas material. It was sloped, at about a 45 degree angle. Harris slept with his head pointed towards the side wall, and feet pointing towards the center of the tent.

    I took my trusty knife one afternoon, and cut a slit in the bottom layer of canvas, above Harris' head, on the roof of the tent. I left the slit there, in plain sight, for two weeks thinking he would be suspicious of it at first. After the two weeks were up, I constructed a fairly large fake spider out of electrical tape, pipe cleaners and black paint. I used fishing line for it's silk. I put the spider in the roof of the tent, slightly past the slit I had cut. I then ran the fishing line over the slit, out and down the side of the tent, and finally back into the tent near my cot.>/p>

    That night after lights out, as Harris layed on his cot, watching a movie on his portable DVD player, I put my plan into action. I pulled slightly on the fishing line, causing the spider to move over and fall through the slit. I then slowly let out slack, causing my home-made monster to descend on it's web. The alignment couldn't have been more perfect, because the spider descended into the space between the portable movie screen, and Harris' face. Harris' reaction was priceless, too. Too scared to scream, he jumped from his cot, flung the DVD player across the room, knocked over a bunch of his crap, and wound up sprawled across the floor babbling "holy shit holy shit". The lights in the tent then went back on, and there was much laughter.

  8. I am a scientologist on Scientology's Credibility Questioned Over Video Channel · · Score: 1

    And I promise you, everything scientologists say is complete bullshit designed to dupe people who are desperate for some form of belonging, and then take their money.

  9. The jump... on New BigDog Robot Video · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I was amazed the first time watching this when the robot jumped the mat. It appeared that the bot was smart enough not only to jump the exact width of the mat, but also nimble enoug to plant it's front and back legs in exactly the same places. I watched through a second time, and while the legs do plant in the same spot, the mat is actually moved a few inches back while the robot is in mid-air.

  15. Three cables cut on Third Undersea Cable Cut · · Score: 1

    Let's see here- 3 cables cut in a short time frame and all in the middle east.. Who would benefit? I'm willing to bet it is more likely foreign governments trying to keep their people uninformed than it is an external power trying to spy. Spying is a subtle act. This is in no way subtle.

  16. Since we're writing letters on Pope Denounces Some Biotech as Affront to 'Human Dignity' · · Score: 1

    Dear Pope- Fuck you. You suck, and I hope you die from some horribly painful disease that could have been cured through stem cell research. I am glad you are a pope, though, because you are a virgin (loser...), and that means you will leave no genetic offspring when you die. Now, take off your stupid hat. It makes you look gay. Flamboyantly gay.
    Sincerely,
    A former catholic.

  17. Re:Unforseen consequences... on The Truth About New Jet Pack Hype · · Score: 1

    leave it to a coward to post this... to answer your question, though, a bit less than could be carried on bicycle, it'd probably be somewhat less than could be carried on foot, much less than could be carried in a car, and significantly less than could be carried in an airplane.

  18. how long on Cell Phone Sommeliers on the Way? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    till a phone goes back to being just a phone? seems to me that if you need someone's help choosing cell phone features, then there are way too many features available.

    Where is it gonna land? Most likely the ocean, of course; but, imagine how sweet it would be if this thing landed in your back yard. Or imagine how awful it would be if this thing landed on some poor soul's windshield as they are rollin' 85 mph on 95 S.

  20. wow on High School Sophomores Discover Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Wow, flip through the comments and the overwhelming majority poke fun at the situation. Sounds to me like a bunch of angry nerds who are a little jealous they never did anything this cool in HS. Give the kids a break. They are kids, ya know, and I think discovering an asteroid is a pretty cool accomplishment for a kid, regardless of what kind of help they recieved.

  23. bit off-topic, but on Where Do the Laws of Nature Come From? · · Score: 1

    I started chasing hyperlinks in this discussion and came across this info about simulated reality.

    This passage caught my attention: "To simulate an entire galaxy would require more computing power than can presently be envisioned, assuming that no shortcuts are taken when simulating areas that nobody is observing."

    That made me think.. doesn't the very nature of quantum mechanics go along with this? I.E. Light being both a wave and particle until observed, electrons in infinite locations until observed, ect..

  25. no immunity? on Telecom Immunity Showdown in the Senate Today · · Score: 1

    I think that not granting immunity would be unfair to those telco employees who would be convicted. I do think that any immunity granted should be only to the telco employees, and should only be for past incidents. Big brother should be slapped down, but those he coerced should be let off the hook this time and this time only.
