    Something just sounds fishy about this; like a scheme to power your car with it's own exhaust.

    No, you can't run your car that way, but you can use the exhaust to turn a fan to turn a compressor to force induction to increase power.

    Well call this a "turbocharger."

    Are there really that few women geeks to choose from?

    No, it's just that geek guys know squat all about women.

    How did Paris Hilton make the list, but Hedy Lamarr failed to? Lessee, an overmade up brainless skank with a Blackberry, or the most beautiful woman who has ever lived who invented the fucking technlogies that allow Blackberries to work?

    For that matter, Mary Shelly wasn't a geek girl, she was a "creative type" who be a Mac owner today. Frankenstein is her magnum opus, reductio ad absurdum attack on geeks.

    She was only eighteen and a "popular girl" when she started writing the book. i.e., she's that bitch in the hall who pointed at your nerdiness, giggled and made rude comments about your "high waters" and Teva sandels with socks.

    Now really, would you even trust someone who goes around cuckolding someone else, never mind worshiping them and their bastard kid?

    Worked for Zeus and Herakles. Of course they were Gods of cuckolds and bastard kids. When asked about adultery in Sparta the reply was "There isn't any," because Sparta had a culture of wife "sharing" and children as the property of the city.

    Think about that the next time someone says, "It takes a village to raise a child." Read a history of Sparta - and ants.

    Quite the contrary, the "Starvation Army" provided all of the furniture in the house I grew up in - for free; and we weren't even Christians and not going to be.

    Still have a few pieces of that "junk" furniture, only now it's valuable Mission Oak. My mother has always said that she wishes she took more (the offer was for anything she wanted, just help yourself), only pride prevented her.

    Still, it is my experience that the one thing the average Christian can't abide is a Christian. Just read The Name of the Rose.

    The American version is "Pie in the Sky":

    The Preacher and the Slave

    Long haired preachers come out every night
    Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
    But when asked how 'bout something to eat
    They reply in voices so sweet

    CHORUS:
    You will eat, by and by
    In that glorious land in the sky
    Work and pray, live on hay
    You'll get pie in the sky, when you die.

    Chorus:

    Oh the Stravation Army they play
    And they sing and they clap and they pray
    Till they get all your coin on the drum
    Then they tell you when you're on the bum

    Chorus:

    Holy Rollers and jumpers come out,
    They holler, they jump and they shout.
    Give your money to Jesus they say,
    He will cure all diseases today.

    Chorus:

    If you fight hard for children and wife
    Try to get something good in this life
    You're a sinner and bad man, they tell
    When you die you will sure go to hell.

    Chorus:

    Workingmen of all countries, unite,
    Side by side we for freedom will fight;
    When the world and its wealth we have gained
    To the grafters we'll sing this refrain

    FINAL CHORUS:
    You will eat, bye and bye,
    When you've learned how to cook and to fry.
    Chop some wood, 'twill do you good,
    And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye.

    I guess you have never been tased.

    No, I haven't, although I know a number of people who have, both in and out of law enforcement. Effects may vary greatly, even with the same individual at different times.

    I have, however, been subject to a number of forms of physical "abuse," in training, sport and "in the field," and I know that how you react to the same thing in each of these situations is quite different.

    Imagine, if you will, something as harmless as a Nerf(tm) gun fight. Now imagine someone walking up to you on the street and pumping a dart into your chest.

    The current taser models override the voluntary muscle nerve impulses and cause the body to tense for the duration it's firing. Once it's off you're back to normal within a few seconds, with the exception of the adrenaline rush.

    "Back to normal" in a controled training exercise is a different normal than after an assault.

    Reports from actual field use indicate disabling lasting anywhere from several seconds to several minutes.

    They needed to suck it up, get a few guys and carry him out if that's what needed to be done.

    Indeed; and they didn't even need to "get" a few guys. They had them there.

    Let us stipulate for the moment, just for the sake of argument, that the first Tasing was justified.

    Their insistence that he get on his feet or they would tase him again is all the proof we need that they were not the brightest bulbs in the pack. The function of a Taser shock is to disable by disrupting nerve and muscle function.

    If you could stand up after being Tased they wouldn't be using them in the first place.

    I never end it with 'kfg'. I always end it with 'KFG'. I'm a *NIX head and thus understand case sensitivity. 'kfg' is my user name. 'KFG' is my legal mark.
