  1. Re:Sorry for the second reply; an anecdote. on Strip-Search Case Tests Limits of 4th Amendment · · Score: 1

    Pencils are dangerous as well. My friend got stabbed multiple times with a pencil (in the eye too) in Jr. High School. Surprisingly, the school still allows pencils to be used. I am going to write my local school board to suggest that they remove any pointy objects from all schools. Perhaps they can replace pencils with cute and fuzzy bunnies.

  2. Need more logos! on The Reality Distortion Field Is Real · · Score: 1

    I need to use this new research with the Nike logo so I can run faster! And then the Chiquita bananas logo so I don't ever have to eat! Then the Boeing logo so I can fly! I'm going to be awesome! Thank you subliminal research.

    Ok now I need to look at the Miller Lite logo.

  3. Prevent crime? on UK Police Want DNA of 'Potential Offenders' · · Score: 1

    I admit that I don't know much about DNA and how law enforcement uses it. But how do DNA databases prevent crime? It seems to help more with catching someone who has already committed a crime, which isn't really a form of prevention.

    The only way that I see this preventing crime is by instilling fear into those that might commit a crime. Fear of being caught, which from what I have observed doesn't seem to be the best form of prevention either.

  4. Counterproductive on Military Steps Up War On Blogs · · Score: 1

    It's quite frustrating fighting for other's liberties, in a sense, while yours are stripped away.

  5. BS... on Antidepressants Work No Better Than a Placebo · · Score: 1

    Was this study done by scientologists? clinical depression != unhappiness

  6. Re:Don't tell Chef but on Scientology Given Direct Access To eBay Database · · Score: 1

    Or you can get the real thing at ebay while supplies last.

    Real E-Meter

    This will probably get taken down soon.

  7. Re:I'll tell you what could possibly go wrong. on Dutch Unveil Robot Gas Station Attendant · · Score: 1

    Maybe someone else would hit the clearly visible "Emergency Stop" button?

  8. Re:The World is Flat.... on State of US Science Report Shows Disturbing Trends · · Score: 1

    I completely agree. I think we are spreading ourselves too thin. Being forced to take sewing classes and the like in Jr. High doesn't make much sense to me. Having entered the working world, it is amazing how people have no communication skills despite the required courses in school on the subject. Most people don't have a clue about history, although they were exposed to it throughout school.

    Yes, we have a broad education, but that makes it difficult to excel in one area of interest. It is like we are the jack of all trades... master of none.

  9. Re:So is gravity on Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction · · Score: 1

    You are correct. I did misunderstand what you were saying. But what determines a law then? Can anything at all be considered a law? The theory of gravity used to be a law, but as our understanding of our physical universe grows, we have to rethink what we thought we knew. Hundreds of years from now, will we think something that is commonly accepted as truth as ridiculous? Like the Sun revolving around the Earth. Will that not continue for everything that we think as completely solid evidence? We have commonly accepted beliefs that can be proven over and over again, but there is always something about it that we don't fully understand, or we think we fully understand, but eventually we won't. So is there no such thing as an actual law then? Is everything a theory? I guess I would imagine that a law is just a really good theory. Anyone want to comment on this? I'm genuinely curious.

  10. Re:So is gravity on Texas Creationist Museum Facing Extinction · · Score: 1

    Last I heard it was the LAW of gravity. Science can have so much evidence that it turns into a law, which can be proven with experimenting. Can you experiment with religion?

  11. Re:I can hear it now.... on High School Sophomores Discover Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Eh now. I used to live a mile from Racine (in Kenosha). Over der, we put "eh" at the beginning of our sentences. Either way, I'm sure the asteroid will either be named after Miller, Harley, cheese, snow, or some German name. Not much else exciting in Wisconsin.
