  1. Blue eyes: on Redheads Need More Anesthesia than Others · · Score: 2

    I have blue eyes, and here are some of the problems associated with them:
    More suceptible to macular degeneration later in life due to most of the following-
    Extriemly sensitve to bright light. I really HATE camera flashes, and bastards who turn on the lights without warning after a movie. THat shit HURTS. I cant walk from a dark area into full sunlight without being largely blinded for 10-30 seconds, again, it hurts.
    The damn eye test where he shines a light into the side of your eye in a dark room is almost impossible for me, i tear up so badly it takes twice as long, and i go through some tissues. None of the other test bother me.
    One benifit, i seem to have better than average night vision.

  2. They can urge all they want on Former FBI Chief Keeps Up Anti-Crypto Campaign · · Score: 5, Funny

  3. Simple wart treatment I've used: on Duct Tape Can Remove Warts · · Score: 5, Funny

    1: 1/2 bottle Jack Daniels, applied internally.
    2: 1 fork, tines heated red hot over gas stove
    3: Apply hot fork tines CAREFULLY to center of wart area.
    4: Swear a lot.
    5: Big Profit!! (and no more wart, seriously)

    Id say ill use duct tape in the future, but i think clearing off 1 wart this way scared all the others away permanently.

  4. Yes, because on Vietnam Requires Gov't Vetting of Business Websites · · Score: 1

  11. I have no problem with criticism. on Mule Gives Birth · · Score: 1

    YOu thought my joke wasnt funny, fine, thank you for posting your opinion. However, my complaint is not that someone thinks im not funny, my complaint is that the mod it down as a troll, off topic or any other such crap, which keeps anyone else from seeing it. If they dont think its funny, fine. Leave it the fuck alone. DOnt mod it down.

  12. Tactile problems on Multi-Touch Keyboard Technology · · Score: 2

    that why i like the ms natural keyboard, i can tell right where my hands are. What i would like is a flat keyboard like this one, blank. Position my fingers on it at a comfortable point, close my eyes, and start typing a typing test. the machine looks and sees where I put my fingers for each letter, rather then me having to reprogram the movements. Put on sitcker whatnot for the markers afterwards. Instant perfect touch typing, taylored to my individual style.

  16. Xerox on Digitally Archiving Historical Sites? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Xerox it all first(documents at least) and make 2 copies of each. Put one somewhere safe, put the originals somewhere else, and then work from the xerox copies. That way you dont have to worry about damaging the originals, and if the place burns down, you have copies offsite.
