  1. Re:oh good on Cod Enzyme Kills Bird Flu · · Score: 1

    If someone has contracted the bird flu, a bowl of chicken soup is probably the last thing you should be giving them.

  2. Damned if that's not some faint praise. on FDA Decides Cloned Animals Safe to Eat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    From the article: 'The government believes meat and milk from cattle, swine and goat clones is as safe to eat as the food we eat every day, said Stephen F. Sundlof, director of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine.

    So, is that the 'every day' beef with the dioxins in it, the tacos with the e. coli, or the mad cow patties?

  3. CONFIDENTIAL PROPOSAL on Send a Name to Mars for Christmas · · Score: 5, Funny

    My name is Mr.Marvin Martian. I work in the credit and accounts department of Union Bank of Credit Spasse, Mars. I write you in respect of a interplanetary customer with a Domicilliary account. His name is Klaatu. He was among those who died, crushed under the wheels of a martian rover that landed on our surface.

    Since the demise of this our customer, Klaatu, who was an emissary, I have kept a close watch of the deposit records and accounts and since then nobody has come to claim the money in this a/c as next of kin. He had only $18.5mllion in his a/c and the a/c is coded. It is only an insider that could produce the code or password of the deposit particulars. As it stands now,there is nobody in that position to produce the needed information other than my very self considering my position in the bank.

    Based on the reason that nobody has come forward to claim the deposit as next of kin, I hereby ask for your co operation in using your name as the next of kin (which I obtained via minidisc) to the deceased to send these funds out to a foreign offplanet bank a/c for mutual sharing between myself and you. At this point I am the only one with the information because I have removed the deposit file from the safe.By so doing, what is required is to send an aplication laying claims of the deposit on your name as next of kin to the late emissary. I will need your full name and address telephone/fax number,company or residential, also your bank name and account,where the money will be transfer into. You can email this information,or cordially send it recorded in minidsc format on the next rocket you send to mars.

    Trusting to hear from you,

    I remain Respectfully yours,

    Mr Marvin Martian.

    ...not use 'em.

  5. Re:Inflatable colon tie-in on Nintendo Goes Looking for the Grey Gamer · · Score: 1

    I think that's a stage in the new Trauma Center game.

  6. Re:The full quote. on Jack Thompson To Face Contempt Charge · · Score: 1

    Thompson continued, "Who you think I am? I kill all you f***in' assholes. I take you all to f***in' hell! You need an army you hear! An army to kill me!"

  7. Hot microtransactions. on Exclusive GTA IV Content for PS3 Too · · Score: 1

    Nope. But wait until you see how many Microsoft Points an hour alone with one will cost.

  8. NW-S stands for 'Not Work Safe' on iPod Killers For the Holidays · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the device does not rumble. Sony reps have claimed that including rumble would interfere with the pedometer's motion detection.

  9. Re:Just blocks? on How the Nintendo Amusement Park Works · · Score: 1

    Just running around collecting stuff was Rare's Nintendo games.

  10. Quite a workout on Wii Will Have an Updatable Linux OS · · Score: 1

    You're saying that his scenario is feasable then?

  12. In layman's terms on Magnetic Ring Could Launch Satellites, Weapons · · Score: 1

    It helps to think of it as a really big, really expensive Hot Wheels track.

  13. Re:Obligatory Jurrasic Park on Soft Tissue Discovered In T-Rex Bone · · Score: 1

    Hell. I'd be happy if they just used some frog DNA to make K-Fed sterile. That guy's got to be stopped!

  14. A Tale in The Desert? on Revenge Of The Highbrow Games · · Score: 1

    How about A Tale in the Desert?

    It's pretty much a game created by academics, played by academics, so as to have something to write graduate theses in video game studies about.

  15. C-SPAN: Now with more boring! on House Approves Warrantless Wiretapping · · Score: 1

    Man, if you thought C-Span was a snooze-fest before, you should check it out now.

    Their congress-cam only ever seems to show that same one guy with a rubber stamp in his right hand and a blank check in the other.

  16. Re:Wonky Steve on Space Elevator vs Wildlife · · Score: 2, Funny

    ... but the Apple Store sure as heck did!

  17. Re:One shambling step closer... on DARPA Sponsoring Limb Regeneration Research · · Score: 1

    Zombie army? Forget that. The politicians are all hankering for zombie voters.

  18. 100,000 horsepower! on No Servant, Japan's Build-a-Robot Delivers Joy · · Score: 1

    Yuri may have loved her robot like a proud parent, but until they can build one with kokoro, it will never love her back.

  19. Re:nerdy enough? on Fish Work as Anti-terror Agents · · Score: 1

    That only works for the water-cooled models.

  20. A PhD in blog-ology on Cheating Via the Internet at College · · Score: 1

    To put a positive spin on the story, you could make the claim that colleges are training the next generation of bloggers, who will be highly skilled at copy-pasting content from a variety of online sources and proudly proclaiming themselves as the future of journalism.

  21. Being done already - on the go. on Google to Use PC Microphones to Listen In? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Integrated Media Measurement, Inc. (IMMI) has a program like this for cell phones - tracking media 24/7 by recording ambient audio and comparing it to a database of stored samples.

    Right now it's opt-in; potential users in selected markets are being sent direct mailings, with the company offering to pay for phone service for those willing to leave their phone (and the program recording 10 seconds of audio every 30 seconds) on regularly.

    Interestingly enough, Al Acorn (Pong designer and Atari co-founder) is listed as CTO.

  22. Re:But.. How do you make it glow? on Zelda on the Wii To Include Sword Swinging · · Score: 1

    Mountain Dew.

  24. Re:Prison Break: Shank or Be Shanked: PROTIP on The 27 Known Wii Launch Titles · · Score: 0, Troll

    Be careful not to drop your controller while in the shower level. Otherwise, you might get a rude introduction to your opponent's Wii!

  25. Aha! Science! on Old Methods Used to Detect Liquid Explosives · · Score: 1

    Let's follow the lead of our forefathers, who didn't rely on fancy-pants machines to tell them whether their convictions were true.

    Instead, let's set anyone who looks suspicious on fire! That way, if they go boom, then we'll be certain that they were a terrorist. And if they just burn, then we'll be remorseful, sure. But we will also clap ourselves on the back for being so diligent in our war on terror. You can't be too careful, you know. Or don't you love freedom!?
