  1. Re:It's not really homeopathic on FDA Says Homeopathic Cure Can Cause Loss of Smell · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Homeopathy is the molecular analog to astrology.

  2. Re:I'm at the north pole on Total Lunar Eclipse Tonight · · Score: 1

    Everybody's right mostly:
    1948 - Uranium Pew-36 Explosive Space Modulator
    1953 - Illudium Phosdex, the shaving cream atom of which the world's supply is growing dangerously low, found only on planet X
    1958 - Eludium Q-36 Space Modulator

    Spelling, like clothing, optional...

    Couple of points...

    1) The posting title notwithstanding, cooking applications are not mentioned as an application for this material; however, Teflon is used to coat heat exchangers. I think your eggs would do just fine. TEFLON -- it's not just for breakfast anymore.

    2) Little living bits don't stick to Teflon. It's used in medical apps -- and those heat exchangers -- for just that reason.

    So here's Gepetto...stoned...The Who cranked to 11...a yodeler on a distant hillside...Heidi Can You Hear Me?

    The problem is that you can get too close. Get closer and you have to deal with other forces: weak, strong, midic(h)lorian, and IWOMM ("It works on my machine" -- the most mysterious and pissoffingous force of them all.)

  6. Re:What is.. on Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway · · Score: 1

    Since I actually possess an half-a-coconut as presented to me (first 50 people got one) by Mr. Eric Idle at the Los Angeles premier of "...Grail", I feel entitled to comment at this point. About coconuts. And swallows. So I have done that. Thank you.

  7. Re:J.S. Bach: thus I refute on Marriage May Tame Genius · · Score: 1

    His wife, however, was a scientist. She never published again after child 17 (Thor Mei-Ping Uhuru Bach).

  8. Re:Lag of biblical proportions... on Christian Videogame Alternatives Explored · · Score: 1

    Well, He was using an old school wireless rig with strictly line-of-sight connect. And there was this cave. And a big rock in the way.

  9. Re:The Hot Rock on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Really bad adaptation of another by Westlake -- "What's The Worst That Could Happen". Same characters, only put Martin Lawrence in place of Robert Redford.

  10. Re:The Mouse that Roared on What's Your Favorite Underappreciated Movie? · · Score: 1

    Must vote for this, though I'm a bit prejudiced. I played Tully Bascomb (the "main" Sellers part) back in high school.
    Queen Gloriana was played by a now renowned journalist (thanks Google): Catherine Seipp
    Me? Now, I look more like Bluto. Or Tevya.

    The original film was directed by Jack Arnold, who was also responsible for "The Creature From The Black Lagoon" and "It Came From Outer Space".

    The latter film was "The Mouse On The Moon". Sellers wasn't in it. It was directed by Richard Lester. His follow up was "Hard Days Night".
