Well, is that the case? I thought it was illegal to use a telescope to study the geometry, size, and color gradations of your neighbor lady's nipples and areolae as she exits the shower, even if she be rudely reflecting light in your direction onto your property without your permission.

Alternatively, a popular president could use his popularity to threaten the Supreme Court by planning to convince Congress to increase the number of Supreme Court Justices to more than 9 so he could appoint cronies who would approve the Constitutionality of institutionalized kleptocracic wealth transfers for the purpose of purchasing millions of votes from soulless voters.
Upon further investigation, it was determined McVeigh engaged in extremely risky behavior that would likely and knowingly lead to his eventual death, so the death was ruled suicide.

Jesus, that's not hard to do.
All you have to do is create a pocket universe with the time rate set proportionally faster according to the time needed to solve the problem on your computer such that it comes out in constant time c here, shove your computer in with a sturdy generator and lots of gas, then get it out after c seconds.
Let's not forget the scaremongers who jumped on the evils of the fatlike olestra in potato chips. They caused "cramping" and other bowel issues in people who ate them, supposedly. (Lays still have a disclaimer.)
Then came a large study that showed that people who ate olestra chips had FEWER incidents than people who ate normal chips. That shows the fine line of idiocy and how readily people who want to get their face in front of the camera are to decry any thing.

Yes, but half-senile old fools who have a shot at acting like a founding father, protecting rights rather than eroding them as all other politicians do (being power-hunger, they never seek to lessen government intrusion.)

And of course cosmic rays (nuclei and electrons) are more powerful than gamma rays, so The Thing should be stronger than The Incredible Hulk.
And does "same type of radiation" mean same intensity as well as wavelength?

On the other hand, learning the proper spelling of analingus wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.
