  1. Enhancements on 100-MPG Air-Powered Car Headed To US Next Year · · Score: 0, Redundant

    So, if I eat a lot of hot chili, have my whole family eat a lot of chili, trap the resulting methane gas, and add that to the air tank, would I be able to boost my mph to say 150 mph?

    Cattle ranchers could make a huge boon in trapped methane.

  2. What would it look like - a balloon? on 100-MPG Air-Powered Car Headed To US Next Year · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I bet it'll be butt ugly too.

    However, what kind of air? Clean air, high oxygenated air, polluted air?

    And Alfred E. Newman isn't a pioneer?

    I scanned TFA and I'm not sure he has a clue about Linux, IMHO.

  10. Supersize Me! on Gravity Lamp Grabs Green Prize · · Score: 1

    What about using the concept on a larger scale to power more "things" in the home. Everyone could have one in their back yard and each morning you turn it over and viola!, you can toast your buns on a cold day.

  11. Huh? on Hearing Voices? Could Be the Lasers · · Score: 1

    Does this mean I get to leave the Nut House and go home?

    Oh wait, my home is the Nut House, but I'm out of tin foil.

    If I cover my roof with tin foil, will the voices stop?

  12. If they are . . . on 1.8 Million US Court Rulings Now Online · · Score: 1

    Simply copies of the decisions which were published by the aforementioned courts, then they are as valid as those published by either West or Thompson and can be used in court. Of course you don't get the luxury of the Key Notes, or cross references, but hey, most of the time you only want specific quotes and positions from the body of the decision anyway.

  17. Re:Moral of the Story . . . on Gen Con Files For Chapter 11 · · Score: 1

    If you want to Mod me a Troll, at least make it a flaming troll. You know with red hair, beady eyes, buck teeth, and nekked.

    I thought it humorous.

  18. Moral of the Story . . . on Gen Con Files For Chapter 11 · · Score: -1, Troll

    If you keep taking cookies out of the cookie jar today, there will soon be none for tomorrow.

    If you forget to give your bigger brother his cookies, he beats the hell out of you and you have to file bankruptcy.


    Democracy is two wolves and a lamb sitting down and voting on what's for lunch.
    Liberty is a well armed lamb contesting the vote.

  19. MythBusters . . . on Inventor to Launch Pop Bottle Rocket into Space · · Score: 5, Funny

    And what if there is music involved?

    Is the RIAA gonna sue you for infringement?

  23. Re:You mean . . . .? on Robot Interprets, Plays Back Dreams · · Score: 1

    I would think there has to be some kind of two way communication:
    a. The robot communicates to the brain in assisting the location of where ever the brain waves are.
    b. The brain then communicates with the robot via the brain waves
    It would like a mind meld.
    However I would not propose to turn the robot into anything but fireplace lighter.

  24. You mean . . . .? on Robot Interprets, Plays Back Dreams · · Score: 2

    Others have noted the possible hazards of this new technology.

    Ya mean, like mind control?
  25. Re:You don't need high efficiency though... on New Solar Cell Harvests Hydrogen From Water · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Perhaps, the paint on the car can be treated in some way to act as the acceptor for the sun and thus be converting water into hydrogen "on the fly"?
