  1. Re:Simple on Ask Slashdot: What Gadgets Would You Use For Hunting Meteorites? · · Score: 1

    Insightful? Wait, what? Who's modding this? This is funny!

  2. My Aunt Betsey on Ask Slashdot: What Gadgets Would You Use For Hunting Meteorites? · · Score: 1

    If those meteorites were trying to hide she'd find them in less than a heartbeat.

  3. Rose Seeds? on Biodegradable Sneakers Sprout Flowers When Planted · · Score: 1

    Moses supposes his toses are roses, but Moses supposes erroneously, Moses he knowes his toeses aren't roses, as Moses supposes his toeses to be.

  4. Re:Call Mulder & Scully! on New Zealand Government Opens UFO Files · · Score: 1

    please have it back...only so many clothes you can take off when it's too hot...under appropriate circumstances *ahem*

  5. Re:Call Mulder & Scully! on New Zealand Government Opens UFO Files · · Score: 1

    hm...but is it an *alien* sunburn? like in Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

  6. Call Mulder & Scully! on New Zealand Government Opens UFO Files · · Score: 1

    no one posted immediately b/c there was an alien-induced loss of time...

  7. Re:Yawn on Being Too Clean Can Make People Sick · · Score: 1

    It's not new until your immune system has been compromised by illness.

  8. Natural Alternatives... on Being Too Clean Can Make People Sick · · Score: 1

    ...Are more effective & not toxic (and less expensive) than the highly marketed, petrochemical brand names. Lavender & Tea Tree herbs can be grown & their tinctures of essential oils made into a diluted synergistic blend that, when applied topically, are antiseptic, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral. They should not be taken internally, but can be added to lotions, soaps and detergents as a natural preventative. The essential oils may also be purchased online or from a local coop. My personal favourite brand is http://www.auracacia.com/ but there are many other local, organic & wildcrafted brands that are also available at many farmer's markets.

  9. Schroedinger's Cat on Quark-Gluon Plasma Observed At LHC · · Score: 1

    They were expecting this observation... http://www.lassp.cornell.edu/ardlouis/dissipative/Schrcat.html and although many applications are quite feasible, am only hoping that it is not able to be used for ill purposes.

  10. Re:You're worried about tech calls?!? on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 1

    Can totally relate to that too, A.C., have been the victim of identity theft 2x now & still trying to sort it.

  11. And MY Personal Costs? on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Is President Obama taking into account MY personal costs when I require internet tech support and have to use my cell phone minutes? Not to mention the difficulties of the language barrier when you can hardly understand what they're saying due to their thick accents that further complicates matters and takes up yet more of my valuable time? Does he understand that they can hardly understand me either, so we go back & forth repeating ourselves trying to resolve the issue, taking up yet more time and costing ME more money?? I think not.

  12. Not Tunnelling on Cheap Metal-Insulator-Metal (MiM) Diode Created · · Score: 1

    Quantum synapsing would be a more accurate description. Though the development is a few years out, this will revolutionize computing as we currently know it.

  13. Re:What an excellent idea! on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 1

    Hm, hadn't thought about the assault angle, and since they are just kids, 16 & 14, and known repeat offenders at that, I highly doubt that *they* know anything about the justice system. Their deviant & abusive parents might...but since there is clearly a large "No Trespassing," sign on the front of the building and they have been warned before I don't see how I could possibly be held liable in any way for squirting a super-soaker in my backyard or off my balcony onto private property.

  14. What an excellent idea! on UK-Developed 'DNA Spray' Marks Dutch Thieves With Trackable Water · · Score: 1

    Our apartment parking lot has seen more than it's share of youth trespass and several vehicles have sustained damage & theft, but the local police say they need "proof" (though we know who they are, apparently, an eye-witness account is not good enough these days) and I thought a similar strategy would work. Lacking funds for a surveillance system, I strategized that filling a super-soaker type water gun with food colouring & spraying the rotten little thugs could be one solution. "Officer, just look for the purple kid that lives down the street."

  15. Re:Beer? on Background Noise Affects Taste of Foods · · Score: 2, Funny

    oh, totally...like cheap box wine tastes better while listening to NPR...

  16. Oh, No, There Goes McMurdo... on Paleontologists Unearth Giant Fossilized Penguin · · Score: 1

    ...Go, Go, PengZilla!

  17. Re:Rednecks on Hunters Shot Down Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    hears theme from Deliverance playing... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yt9R0I3gSk

  18. Research Subjects on University Offers Class In Zombie Studies · · Score: 1

    Have some future ex-neighbors who would qualify for their study!

  19. He's a Pinball Wizard on Keith Elwin Wins Pinball World Championship · · Score: 2, Funny

    There's got to be a twist!

  20. Sounds like an X-File on Man Takes Up Internal Farming · · Score: 1

    Where are Mulder & Scully when you need them?

  21. Euthanasia on Man Wants to Donate His Heart Before He Dies · · Score: 1

    I firmly believe that euthanasia should be a legal option for people with such conditions and that if they have the presence of mind to make such a gracious decision, that could potentially benefit so many others, prior to their death that this should be allowed.

  22. Lots of Buckyballs Here in Wisconsin on Buckyballs Detected In Space · · Score: 1

    But many have been found to be ego inflated.

  23. Millions Against Monsanto on Avoiding GM Foods? Monsanto Says You're Overly Fussy · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Hm, interesting. You'd be one of the aforementioned barflies for whom I'd find a different puzzle. That, or just slip you a mickey.

  25. Re:Johnny's Mom Has 3 Kids... on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 1
