    Mr Weed. Inventor of the amazing Eater (TM)

  2. Pi = 3 on Bell Dethroned as Telephone Inventor · · Score: 1

    This works. Begin OT .... My old mathteacher said that, as long as you declared your assumptions at the beginning of a piece of work, then anything goes... I declared Pi = 3 at the start of an end of term paper, worked everything out to NO decimals, used log tables (remember those?), with workings in the margin, and finished in no time with what amounted to a sheet full of approximations. I passed....

    Better just frisk the babysitter, to be sure..

  8. Re:cool, but... on Planetary System Similar to Sol · · Score: 1

    Check the numbers,and I think you will find that *we* are a statistical improbability too, on many counts.

    Or would that be Altair boys...?

  10. Re:British use on Using Cellular Traffic to Monitor Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

  11. Re:Star wars fans now == trekkies on How Yoda Became an Action Star · · Score: 1

    Im afraid to say it, but you are right. To all the whiners- just shut up and let me watch the movie!!

  12. Re:what about heat? on A "Black Box" For Space Debris? · · Score: 1

    I don't think it's meant to be aerodynamic, it's supposed to simulate space junk re-entering?

    Monarchy? Oh, that one exists...AFAIK you can make up new words, or else we would all still be going UGG.

  15. Re:Smoked glass? on Crescent Sunset · · Score: 1

    You have to account for the incredible dimness of people. If smoked glass was said to be *ok*, then imagine the lawsuits when thousands of blinded ijits said "..but They said smoked glass was ok..."

  16. Re:Times running out... on Fuel Cell Car Goes Cross-Country · · Score: 1

    Would it not be an idea to remove CO2 from *CocaCola (TM)* as there must be a substantial contribution to the greenhouse gas budget from fizzy drinx? (ok and Pepsi (TM) etc, etc.....)

  17. Re:Don't see how it's possible.... on AOpen Debuts The Funniest Motherboard Ever · · Score: 1

    16,000 volts to the grid??? The national distribution grid perhaps..Besides, tube grids run at a negative potential, maybe -3v. The Anode might run at 16,000 volts, but only if your speakers can handle a Megawatt or so.

  21. Re:Wrong! on Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years · · Score: 0

    It seems that the dope (!) on the cloth that the Hindenburg was made of was the big burner rather that the H2 which burnt hot and Upwards, way from the structure. Google for details.

  22. Re:Iceland is awesome on Iceland to Voluntarily Go Oil Free in 30-40 Years · · Score: 0

    You are quite right, what a great place. However, there are no trees, and never have been, so, no coal. Also no oil etc, but lots & lots of hot!! water and steam (and lava, in season, if required.) Go there, see nature in the raw!!

  24. Re:Campbell's myth is overrated on The Empire Stumbles · · Score: 0

    It's a little harsh, don't you think, to define anything as being of the same caliber as Battlestar Galactica. After all, it did have the damnable Muffit robot dog bastard in it.

  25. Re:Put ya hands together on Manned Mars Mission Some Way Off · · Score: 0
