  1. Life of bread expanded even further... on Scientists Develop Sixty Day Bread · · Score: 0

    The same scientists found that they could quadruple the life to 240 days, but then the bread turned into Twinkies.

  2. Saves $4 Billion, probably not... on Is It Time For the US To Ditch the Dollar Bill? · · Score: 0

    Really? Paper money seems cheaper than metal money, lighter, easier to store.... Want to carry around $10 in $1 bills or coins? Coins are too heavy. I see a lot of cost to switch also... Usually, with the government, do just the opposite and that is the answer. So instead, they should be getting rid of a coin (pennies) not adding one. btw, we have a $1 coin and it is not popular for reasons I mention above.

  3. Re:Chu! on DOE Wants 5X Improvement In Batteries In 5 Years · · Score: 0

    It's the 5, 5, 5 plan!

  4. No problem. Lifetime Supply of Twinkies on Hostess To Close; No More Twinkies · · Score: 0

    Stock up now. Shelf life is 40 years.

  5. web link to sign the Texas Petition on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 0
  6. Re:It is an invasion of privacy on Journalist Arrested In Greece For Publishing List of Possible Tax-Evaders · · Score: 0

    I agree that someone should check them out. But they shouldn't be in the paper. In fact, anybody from Greece that has any money would be a fool not to have a Swiss account. Hey, why do I always get a score of zero on everything I post. Some rogue moderator gave me bad karma. I don't think I even said anything offensive, mostly just jokes!

  7. It is an invasion of privacy on Journalist Arrested In Greece For Publishing List of Possible Tax-Evaders · · Score: 0

    Just because they have a Swiss account does not mean they are tax evaders. Who can blame them for wanting to keep some of their money in a Swiss account when their own country is so jacked up. And if they do it legally there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. So publishing a list like that is rather slanderous and a total invasion of someones privacy.

  8. If I were President on White House Finalizes 54.5 MPG Fuel Efficiency Standard · · Score: 0

    I would be twice as effective, I would just set the MPG mandate to 109 mpg. Such a simple job!

  9. Sugary drinks link cigarettes on California City May Tax Sugary Drinks Like Cigarettes · · Score: 0

    Yes. I love cigarettes but they are so sugary that I feel I should pay some extra tax on them... that way I won't get diabetes... maybe.

  10. technical solution on Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers · · Score: 0

    just need to require a phone to auto connection in order for your 16-year-olds car to start and operate. Then block all texting while driving.

  11. Arizona Bloggers... on Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal · · Score: 0

    So I guess if I was in Arizona, then my blog Rick Barnes Sucks would potentially cause me legal issues. Hmmm.. I didn't know I was a troll. I can add that credential to my title now.

  12. strip search on Supreme Court Approves Strip Searches For Any Arrestable Offense · · Score: 0

    First thing I am doing if I ever get arrested is stripping down. Just getting that part out of the way....

  13. pencil and paper on Do Tablets Help Children Learn? · · Score: -1

    pencil and paper is still pretty useful when it comes to learning... there needs to be some exposure to learning technology, but most kids are not going to need to learn a lesson on the iPad. They will get enough electronic experience from video games, phones, etc. that they will already be experts. I'd rather see them learn with pencil and paper because they won't be getting as much of that in other areas of their lives.

  14. Great. I'll give it a try, BUT... on Healthcare Reform Act Prediction Market · · Score: 1

    Judging from the results of my recent final 4 picks I am not too optimistic now about my ability to predict what the court will find!

  15. counter sue on Man Claiming He Invented the Internet Sues · · Score: 0

    Al Gore should counter sue.. i think it has been proven many times that he gave the idea to Tim Berners-Lee.

  16. shrinking? on Former Google Exec: Traditional Search Market Shrinking · · Score: 5, Funny

    No wonder he is a "former" exec...

  17. They should have sent them to Gitmo on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 1

    and just waterboarded them till they confessed....

  18. can't wait for this to go mainstream on Building the Bionic Man · · Score: 1

    I'm going to get a heads-up-display installed over the lens of my eyes and I want it to show me all kinds of numerical data and probabilities whenever I look at something. Then I want an attachment so I can snap a fishing rod to my forehead and I will use it to catch more fish.
