  1. Such a pity on Microsoft Sends Flowers To Internet Explorer 6 Funeral · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's so sad when a parent outlives a child.

  2. Re:"Mechanical multicaliber gun"? on Bullet-Proof Sheets of Carbon Nanotubes · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why one would bother with such a thing.

    I imagine to test its effectiveness against different types of rounds. I also would be interested in seeing what sort of device this is.

  3. Huh on Cell Phones That Learn the Sounds of Your Life · · Score: 1

    After looking at the charts I would have thought that the pink asterisk would have muted out the red dot... Maybe the red dot includes the TV?

  4. Reminds me of a Dan Brown book on Ancient Ecosystem Found In Ice Pocket · · Score: 1
  5. Also available from CADIE: on Google Launches CADIE, the First True AI · · Score: 4, Informative

    Her own personal blog with design choices reminiscent of the 90s: http://cadiesingularity.blogspot.com/ Google Docs, now with CADIE: http://www.google.com/google-d-s/cadie.html

  6. Could the wind mess with this? on NASA Tests Heaviest Chute Drop Ever · · Score: 1

    I realize it is a very large object so perhaps the answer is no. I'm just curious. Whenever I made rockets as a kid I lost them in the damn trees after the first launch because of that blasted parachute. It took so long to get the decals just right too... "It's going to land on my house!" "Don't worry, it's going to land softly." "Oh, ok." *crunch*

  7. Kinda neat. on Putting On a Show For the Google Streetview Camera · · Score: 1
  8. Odd Creature on Rare Venomous Mammal Filmed · · Score: 1

    Check out the wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hispaniolan_Solenodon "Females, even though they have an irregular estrus period that is apparently unrelated to seasonal changes, may have two litters of 1-3 young per year. Usually, only 2 of the offspring (weighing 40 to 55 grams) survive, because the female only has two teats, which are found in a most unusual place: near the buttocks of the animal." "As well as having a venomous bite, a solenodon has glands in the armpits and in the groin which allegedly give off a goat-like smell." "When they do come out, they run on their toes with a stiff ungainly waddle, following an erratic almost zigzag course. The local people claim that solenodons never run in a straight line. Moreover, when a solenodon is alarmed and tries to put on speed it is as likely as not to trip over its own toes or even tumble head-over-heels."

  9. That's funny, on Press Favored Obama Throughout Campaign · · Score: 2, Insightful

    'cause so did I.
