  2. Re:Cows eat Grass on Sweet Times For Cows As Gummy Worms Replace Corn Feed · · Score: 1

    Cows evolved to eat grass.

    No good came from feeding them corn. I can't see how feeding them gummy worms will turn out well.

    Note to parent, corn is a grass.

    Those are mere details for the engineers to solve. The scientists have done the heavy lifting by proving it's not impossible.

  9. Courier 10 Pitch on Baskerville Is the Greatest Font, Statistically, Says Filmmaker Errol Morris · · Score: 1

    Just plain courier, it was good enough for gramps, it's good enough for me too. No need worry about your fancy proportional fonts like you're king of France or something.

  10. More than 2 choices? on Did an Unnamed MIT Student Save Apollo 13? · · Score: 2

    Continue the path and slingshot back or fire the rockets and turn around, were there any other choices? I'm not sure for what they want to credit the smelly hippie. There is nothing marvelous about the solution, it was the decision that was risky.

    Hey mister, do you mind if we play on your lawn?

    I refuse to believe 46% Americans hold the view that God created humans in their present form within the last 10,000 years. A small fraction might, but not 46% no way.

  20. Re:drunk drivers don't sober up while drving on Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers · · Score: 1

    Both involve making a decision to do something unsafe and irresponsible. At least the drunk driver can claim his judgment was impaired.

  21. Re:Inexperienced drivers are inexperienced on Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The distraction of texting is not equivalent to that of eating a burger. Texting while driving is extra stupid, I need almost full attention to text and much less to eat. imagine a spectrum of irresponsibility with just listening to the radio on the low end and smashed drunk driving on the other. Texting is right up next to drunk driving for stupidity.

  22. Re:You CAN turn off your phone. on Cops' Warrantless Cell Phone Tracking Now Better Than GPS · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't think I should have to disable my phone to prevent the authorities from high jacking it. After all I paid for the phone and I'm a citizen not a subject. If they can convince a judge they can get a warrant, otherwise hands off.
