  1. Get KFC on it on Cows On Treadmills Produce Clean Power For Farms · · Score: 1

    KFC has created the chicken-beast ( a chicken with 6 legs), so let them create a pig-a-pede. A pig with 100 legs. Think of all the ham, ribs, bacon, etc. you would get out of one, and it should be able to operate a very long treadmill.

    I was related to Mary Coyle Chase (author of Harvey) after she died in 1981

    Miss that one period, and this takes on a very strange pallor. There must be an interesting story there.

    Oh no. It's George W Bushes fault for not signing the koyoto treaty.

    His failure caused all this Global Warming, which caused a proliferation of gays, which made God angry, which is why we are having all these earthquakes, which caused all of these volcanoes.

    It's 2012 all over again!

    Haven't they done genetic work on the cows yet, like KFC did to chickens? http://www.snopes.com/horrors/food/kfc.asp

    I'd like to see them use six or eight legged cows in bull fights. It would be like fighting a giant centipede. Would they be called hexipedes of octapedes? Think of how differently a stampede would sound.

  5. Re:The E-cigs aren't exactly GOOD for your lungs.. on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    Did you ever wonder why a lot of those old remedies are no longer available? Could it be that many of them were found to be a useless waste of time and money, and many were actually quite harmful? Should we have the hospitals return to slapping a poultice on major woulds instead of using antibiotics and bandages, because "that's how granma handled it"?

  6. Re:I have a better idea on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    How about we sell cigs that don't contain so much bullshit? I mean honestly...is all that crap really necessary?

    without the bullshit to thin out the tobbacco, the smell of a smoker (especially between smokes) would be even fouler. Instead of knowing that a smoker has just walked into your building, you'd be able to tell a smoker walked across the street from your building sometime during the last month. Please don't ask them to remove the buffer.

    My farts have no smoke in them, so it's OK for me to fart in your face anytime I want?

    You're ok if I get a spray can of "concentrated second hand smuck" and sprayed in your and your kids faces periodically, because it isn't smoke its a vapor, even though it contains all the same chemicals? It's got to be OK with you, because there's no smoke, right?

    How dare they block something like this? Where would dieting pills be if they had banned "fen phen" untill it could be studied? Nobody wants something like that to block progress!

    Here's a take of chlorene gas, carbon monoxide, anthrax, flesh eating bacteria, etc.

    Let me release it into you home. There won't be any smoke, so it's perfectally harmless.

    How stupid are you people? If I said "Let me fart in your face, but it's Ok since there aren't any pelicans", would you think it was wonderful? Who cares if there's no smoke? It's not the smoke that's the problem. What we worry about is all the damn chemicals being spewed out. And they admit they don't know what's being spewed out, or what the long term effects will be.

  11. Re:Good article on American Lung Association Pushes For Ban On Electronic Cigarettes · · Score: 1

    And while studies haven't been done to prove weather it's safer or not than cigarettes, I find myself breathing much better, and don't cough nearly as much. Also, since there is no actual smoke, there is no risk of second hand smoke or any tobacco smell.

    Great! But what happens to all that atomized stuff? Does your lings absorb 100% of it, or does it come out as "non-smoke"? If you aren't absorbing 100% of this atomized crap, is this concentrated stuff being spewed out that much safer than regular smoke? If it is so safe, are you willing to give it to a 3 year old?

    Why ae they selling it as a safer alternative, when they admit that they don't know if it is safer? The building has been filled with chlorene gas, but since there's no smoke, you're perfectally safe? Sorry, it sounds like a load of crap to me.

    Let me know if it works as well as that "unstudied" fen-phen. Nothing went wrong with that wonderful discovery.
