    Five teams had one hour to find a roving, low-power AP serving up a picture of Arnold Schwarzenegger.

    The "AP" in question is not the Assocated press, but an Apache Web Server.

    I have to give credit to S. Baldrick to have the balls to post something that tasteless without going AC.

    The f*ckers who modded it funny should be disciplined, though.

  13. uberkind on Mutation Creates SuperKid · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's a good thing this kid wasn't born in Germany in the mid-to-late thirties.

    Rename the MP3s of your grandfather's voice to coors_twins_baby_oil.mpg and put it on Kazaa.

  23. mars suits on Anti-Frostidigitation: Heatpipe Gloves · · Score: 1

    This reminds me of the work suits the First Hundred used in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars trilogy

    Not quite complete spacesuits, but enough to keep you alive and working while on the surface of the red planet. They included a lattice of warming wires beneath a flexible exterior.

    Next up: harvesting bodily fluids with a suit.
