  1. It's All So Clear To Me Now! on Australian Police Warn That Apple Maps Could Get Someone Killed · · Score: 2

    When my (ex)wife and I were married, she was living in Canberra and her family was living in Adelaide. My father-in-law, a retired long-haul truckie suggested we drive there in my wife's Datsun Sunny so that I could see the "real" Australia. He laid out the route plan for us on the "scenic route" (A20) through the small towns like Gundagai, Wagga, Mildura, etc. It was a mostly fun trip, but very hot, dry and dusty at times in the non-airconditioned Datsun. We actually drove for a time sitting on bags of ice to relieve the heat. It all becomes very clear now that maybe he was trying to get me killed.

  2. She Has A New Book on Critic Cites Revenge of the Sith As "Generation's Greatest Work of Art · · Score: 1

    She's an academic with a new book 'Glittering Images: A Journey Through Art from Egypt to Star Wars.' What better way to create buzz about an otherwise obscure academic exercise than to create a kerfuffle with an obviously provocative statement. It got us all discussing it, so I guess it's a successful marketing ploy.

  3. Simple Solution: More TVs! on Thou Shalt Not View The Super Bowl on a 56" Screen · · Score: 2, Funny

    All the sports bars have multiple smaller TVs scattered throughout their premises. The churches should just borrow/rent/buy a few dozen 50" TVs and scatter them strategically throughout their halls. Maybe clergy can suggest that parishoners tithe their forthcoming Gommint "Save the Economy and Buy Stuff Now" checks to the task. In your face, NFL! Anyone know of a good dip recipe that goes with communion wafers?

  4. What About The Darker Side of Nanotechnology? on Carbon Nanotubes Can Exist Safely Inside the Body, Help Treat Cancer · · Score: 1

    So they progress enough to use nanotubes in humans for drug delivery and the nanotubes are excreted from the digestive system.

    When the waste is processed in the municipal sewage facility, the nanotubes aren't captured in the purification process and pass on to the ecosystem as effluent.

    Will these nanotubes have the robustness to survive in the wild? Will they get clogged in fish gills causing them to suffocate?

    What other mayhem may we be missing by not looking at the whole life cycle of nanoparticles in such experiments?
