  1. Technology? I think not! on To Flush Or Not To Flush · · Score: 2, Informative

    Let me say one thing- No Flush Urinals stink to high hell! It's incredible. I work in an ~20 million dollar building on the University of California, Santa Cruz campus (Engineering 2- for those who know UCSC) which was completely 2 years ago, and it has only no flush urinals. They're nasty. Yes they save water, and that's a good thing, but to be lauded as new tech! Give me a break. Imagine that design meeting? "I've got an idea! No water in urinals!! We'll save water and then spin some horse#$%! about how they are odor free!!!" Thanks Guys!

  2. Re:Yeah sure on Extinctions Due to Global Warming Predicted · · Score: 1

    actually you have it wrong. the last glacial maximum was about 18k years ago. on the milankovic (sic) cycles, that mean we are actually due up for an ice age, not on the tail end of an ice age.

  3. Better GMO pets! on Glowing Fish are First Genetically Engineered Pets · · Score: 1

    A bunch of people on here sound like they aren't that opposed to gen-mod pets, but a glowing fish isn't really that cool right? My buddy and I have been working on ideas for genetically miniturizing mammals, and think we can probably do it...Who out there would be interested in say a pygmy elephant? of coarse it would have it's draw backs....even a pygmy elephant is going to have pretty large poop. and it might be able to get into your fridge and drink your beer....any thoughts?

  4. Re:Rabbits on Glowing Fish are First Genetically Engineered Pets · · Score: 1

    yeah they made a GFP bunny. it's really cute. i have a picture of it above my lab bench. they've also made a GFP monky named ANDi...that didn't work out so well...

  5. Re:red eh? on Glowing Fish are First Genetically Engineered Pets · · Score: 1

    They've got green ones to using the normal E-GFP. much sweeter in green...
