  1. Maybe not all bad on Supplies of Rare Earth Elements Exhausted By 2017 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Looks like asteroid mining is about to take off.

    Of course someone is about to shoot me down for this as I don't know the concentrations of gallium, Indium and other metals in the average asteroid.

    NARF!!!!!

  3. Re:next step on Authentic Viking DNA From 1,000-Year-Old Skeletons · · Score: 1

    I think I saw a documentary on that. It was called Baywatch Nights. From what I remember they eventually ran amok in L.A but fortunately David Hassellhoff and Kit managed to save the day.

  8. Re:Would that work well? on PETA Offers X-Prize for Artificial Meat · · Score: 1

    Damn beat me to it.

  9. Re:They should be grateful on Olympic Web Site Features Pirated Content · · Score: 1

    I couldn't agree with you more. My original comment was meant to be taken with a large dose of sarcasm. If I could I would mod you up two points.

  10. They should be grateful on Olympic Web Site Features Pirated Content · · Score: 5, Funny

    Plagiarism is the sincerest form of flattery.

  13. Re:Test Methodology on Laser Light Re-creates 'Black Holes' in the Lab · · Score: 1

    Warning: Do not touch black hole with remaining arm.

  14. Re:How about silence? on Pope Denounces Some Biotech as Affront to 'Human Dignity' · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You claim you have a problem with artificial insemination because eggs or embryos become discarded or are lost. What are your opinions on miscarriages? Is the mother wrong for having one? Has she committed a sin even if she is unaware of the miscarriage? Is she committing a sin if she smokes and she is unwittingly pregnant?

    What about those who remain celibate or don't have children? They're wasting eggs and sperm, aren't they by their refusal to conceive a child causing life to be destroyed?

    And if life is so sacred to god why does he allow so many women to miscarry? Why do something like 50% of conceptions fail to implant themselves in the uterus properly?

    Your ideas on the surface at least seem as ludicrous as this song.

  15. Re:Yeah, but on Dreams Actually Virtual Reality Threat Simulation? · · Score: 1

    You were able to solve the murder of Laura Palmer.

  17. Gym Class on Weird Science Offered As University Class · · Score: 1

    Dear Miss LeBrock,
    My son Joel is currently suffering from a groin injury and is unable to stand up in his gym shorts whilst you are teaching. Please allow him to keep his groin covered with a towel or blanket whilst he remains seated. He also has to do a massage exercise on his groin whilst it is covered by the blanket, so please don't ruin the moment.

    Yours
    Mrs. Joel's mother.

  18. Or they could try using Checklist instead. on Bar Codes Keep Surgical Objects Outside Patients · · Score: 2, Informative

    Alas doctors would rather a high tech approach rather than just a good old fashioned checklist of procedures

  20. Re:Energy vs Power on Portable Nuclear Battery in the Development Stages · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yeah, but in fairness to them it can do the Kessel run in less than twelve parsecs. That's not something your everyday reactor can do.

  21. Whoa, flashback. on Fighting Back Against Ghost Calls · · Score: 1

    I just had a flash back to my Uni days, where we would sit an unsuspecting victim down in front of an Eliza program.

    Hook this into a speech recognition and speech synthesizer, and you'll probably have the average telemarketer babbling their life story to it for hours on end.

  22. Re:oblig on South Korea to Build Robot Theme Parks · · Score: 2, Funny

    By my calculations the robots should turn on their human masters sometime in the next 24 hours.

    Oops, forgot to carry the decimal point.

  25. Re:Uhmmm...... on Scientist Are Working to 'Steer' Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry but if the U.S wanted to take out [insert insular communist dictatorship here] then they wouldn't have to send a hurricane to soften them up.

    Their B-52s and cruise missiles do the job just fine.

    Yes I know cyclones release like a H bombs worth of energy every 10 seconds or 10 minutes, I can't remember which. But people living in areas where bad storms hit are probably quite good at surviving said storms.

    And if the poor aren't any good at it, I'll bet the rich and the military are.

    Given that it'll be pretty obvious that the U.S is trying to fling a storm at an enemy, (ie. cloud seeding, giant orbiting lasers and what not). It'll be easy to work out whether this storm was natural.

    Plus given the hue and cry over when a cluster bomb goes astray and kills civilian, what would be the reaction to a human induced storm sweeping a bus load of kids into a swollen river.
