A friend of mine had a mate of his die a few years back. the guy was cremated and they have a facebook page for his ashes that tells of his postmortem travels to rock concerts and the like. He was not even on facebook until after he was dead. (insert over-my-dead-body-joke here)
If only my friends and relatives can be as creative with the remains of my corpse...
I would say this survey is a better indicator of the success of the rampant advertising for anti-identity theft.
So now that all the credit card companies know that this the number one fear (pat selves on back for successful advertising) they can start pushing the offers a bit harder. Expect your mailboxes to start filling up with more of these offers in 3...2..1
then someone might actually read all 5000 pages of some of these bills. I can guarantee you the reps don't actually read any of this themselves. They get summaries. or summaries of summaries.
the vehicles changing shape comment reminds me of the SR71.
Only when it gets up to speed do the joints close up and the skin smooth out due to air friction heating it up. The think leaked fuel like a sieve on the tarmac apparently, but was tight as a frog's ass at mach 3.
Sure one plastic bottle boat floating across the Pacific is kinda newsworthy, but if they published the plans perhaps they could make this more grassroots and less publicity stunt.
Any moment, PETA will respond to this with some hilarious condemnation of using the carcasses of dead animals in a way that is disrespectful to the formerly living creature.
I disagree.
I can't think of a nobler way for a rodent to be immortalized.
I really liked it because it added to the tension of the game. You had to make every shot count and use your knife on the weaker baddies to conserve firepower for the big ones. It was also important to know which types of ammo were best suited for killing the different creatures.
all this talking makes me want to play it again...

others like dashing through a burning warehouse with steel toe boots and a pickaxe
to each his own
then I'm all for boring.
I intend to drag my 4 year old out of bed for this if we can get a good clear night to watch.
he is especially interested since he knows all the words to the the shooting star song on TMBG Here Comes Science

how long do you think it will be before the thermal pollution watchdogs start cracking down?
that was the first thing I though of as well
beat me to it.
clearly you are destined for the B-ark
Guess I better get my spade and start digging.
drinking the pool might be easier than eating the tele
It won't be long before the insurance companies are using this same technique to spot pools, trampolines and other unreported liabilities.
that and Bill Murray
if they were as cheap as you suggest, we would be using grad student eyes instead of fly eyes

I would also pay for the cheezy digitized Hall of the Mountain King theme song to use as a ring tone.
i am in no way bashing the EFF here
There fixed that for you.
The sad truth is that like any other agreement or contract, it is only worth as much as you are willing to pay your lawyer.

I know, I know, CO2 laser is not even remotely like a microwave weapon, but it should be useful for other purposes.
OVER MY DEAD PROPHET!!!
trouble is, every day is sunday school in LA
