  1. Re:Monty Python already did this. on The Funniest Joke in the World · · Score: 1

    No, because IIRC, everyone who heard it
    died laughing and it was lost again.

  2. Laugh Lab on The Funniest Joke in the World · · Score: 1

    "We'll be able to answer questions like: 'Are there jokes that women find funny but men don't?'
    Liberace(rip)
    The converse is The Three Stooges
    This "project" is sure to be up near the top.

  3. Re:for those that don't have a NYTimes acct.. on Constants Not Constant? · · Score: 1

    It's also ,here , no account required.

  4. Re:How can I see these? on Meteor Showers · · Score: 1

    Have a brew. Go out and look at the stars. Have some patience. The majority seem to move NE->SW at any point in the sky. Keep in mind that these kind of things only make noise on TV and in the movies...dammit

  5. Re:Won't see it on Meteor Showers · · Score: 1

    Well then go out right NOW. Just came in from a little gazing, I was seeing abt. 1 every 3min.

  6. Re:Chili != Cleaning Gel on Space Stations That Suck · · Score: 4

    Actually it works very well to remove corrosion on metal. I would guess the vinegar base does that. We used to use Tobasco sauce to polish pipes back when I was riding submarines for a living. BTW Kool-ade powder works really well as a toilet cleaner(the ascorbic acid?) and leaves your loo smelling much better than before.

  7. Re:Super-soakers aren't the best on Water Guns · · Score: 1

    or... take 4ft. surgical tubing, a hose clamp and a pen barrel. Tie a simple overhand knot at one end of the tubing, place the open end over a fairly high pressure faucet and fill the tubing with water. Clamp the hose and insert the pen barrel. Slide the full hose up your sleeve and you have the perfect high pressure, stealth water weapon. With the right tubing it'll go half a city block. Ah..the memories

  8. Re:So how do we use these? on First Direct Evidence Of Tau Neutrino · · Score: 1

    Really? There has been lots of relaxation of the "code of silence" over the past few years as survival requires a good PR campaign. For example now I can talk about ............................. .................................................. ................................

  9. Re:So how do we use these? on First Direct Evidence Of Tau Neutrino · · Score: 1

    It was always our belief that transmission from a submarine, whos primary goal was to remain undetected, was a Bad Thing. If a way to detect neutrinos is developed, you'd have a wonderful finder of nucular powered submarines,bombs etc.

  10. Re:Porn sites in search engines on AOL Class-Action Suit Over Pop-Up Ads · · Score: 1

    Yea, my wife went to www.whitehouse.com instead of .gov, imagine her delight and my hours of explaining. (sigh)

  11. Re:brain makes digital decisions? on Electronic Circuit Mimics Brain Activity · · Score: 1

    A baby thinks very digitally, the block is eithor in sight or else it doesn't exist. Developement comes with the realization that the block can still exist if it is no tin sight. I recently read (can't remember where..USA Today?, Readers Digest?) that the brain is still actively creating paths well into adolescence. So it may be that we start thinking alond digital lines but learn to apply "fuzzy logic" along more analogue lines with a digital base. The use of analogue thinking is what allows the etchings of M.C. Escher to be so much fun.

  12. Re:I just tried it out on Dell To Make MP3 Home Stereo Component · · Score: 1

    The phono input is set to take the input from a phono cartridge. There used to be seperate inputs for moving coil and moving magnet cartridges. Sometimes I get a chuckle from the "vinyl's best" folks, records have equalization (riaa?) set when to mixed to compensate for various frequency rolloffs inherent with "wax." Digital really is the purest signal when properly recorded.

  13. Re:Neutron stars on How Neutron Stars Get Their Kicks · · Score: 1

    Riiiiiiight. And the Earth is only 6000 years old?
