Yes, I've had food poisoning. Uh, lemon juice (citrus in general) is a useful treatment for food poisoning.
My immediate steps to recovery are: 1. Finish puking (this sometimes takes a while) 2. Rehydrate with citrus drinks (I like variety, ocean spray makes a few good ones), and filtered water 3. Rest 4. Repeat as necessary
For the first few hours I stay close to a liquid receptacle. Once the heaves stop, I begin to rehydrate and drink citrus.
Wouldn't it be great if NASA did something cool like land some equipment on Mars in preparation for a permanent base? Instead, they're spending millions flying kites.
A car is like existing drive technology. Depending on who's driving (manufacturer), the road (materials used), the point-to-point distance (inverse of capacity) of a trip varies. If the driver isn't an expert, he might be all over the road (more magnetic surface used) - adding distance to the trip (decreasing capacity). Additionally, if the road is rough (randomly sized magnetic grains) distance is added to the trip.
A train, however, utilizes a fixed width track. The driver only needs a vehicle capable of mounting the track. The point-to-point distance is always the same (most efficient, less surface used) because the driver cannot deviate from the track. There is no deviation in the size of the track, it's always smooth.

Seriously, could he have picked more unrelated technologies?
We've moved from Braille to Broadcast, from Broadband to the Blackberry. We've moved from spelling letters in someone's palm to the Palm Pilot.
What does braille have to do with broadcasting? What does broadband have to do with blackberry? What does......what the hell is he talking about "spelling letters in someone's palm"...Helen Keller? And what does that have to do with Palm Pilots?
This guy is talking out the side of his neck (where the words don't pass through the brain first). He's comparing apples and butterflies here! Perhaps he's trying to get a handle on all this technology himself - is stupid a disability?

On the same line of thought, you could make a death mask, or a couple of them.
It's not as creepy as the name might suggest and doesn't require the subject to actually be dead.
It was a project we did in one of my art classes in high school. My mom collects masks, so I gave mine to her and it hangs on her wall with many other more exotic masks.
The process is fairly simple and quickly described in this article. In my art class, we took it a step further and used the plaster mask as a negative and later filled it with pottery clay, baked it, glazed and baked it again. I glazed mine black, but I'm sure that a ghostly white might be appropriate for the situation.
Making the mask negative (mold) is something that can happen in less than an hour. With a little more work you can probably make one that is re-usable out of other materials, but the plaster style negative is good for making only one ceramic mask. I'd suggest one per child, maybe more.
I'm sure that if the goal was described to someone at your local pottery shop, the appropriate materials would be suggested.
According to TFA, "Self-Burying" isn't an accurate description. It's slightly (100%) wrong.
Per TFA:
The idea is that coffin would then be torqued into the ground, either by machine or even by hand.
Basically, your body is installed into this big ass screw. A cap is fixed to the top and it's *ready* to be screwed into the ground. This coffin can bury itself just like my lunch can eat itself.
On the topic of lunch... After looking at the patent drawings, it occurs to me that this device needs to be fairly robust to withstand the pressures of being screwed into the ground. I didn't see any drainage holes in the drawings. I'm guessing that shortly after burial, the deceased decays into a chunky soup at the tip of the screw...er...coffin.
It will be difficult enough to avoid disaster on planet Earth in the next hundred years...
Certainly, there are possibilities for many types of disasters - meteor/comet impacts, tsunami, volcanic eruption, global warmi...er....climate cha...um.... whatever the eco-freakos are calling it these days.
When I read that statement, I get the impression that there is some unavoidable, impending doom that Hawking knows about. Like "The next hundred years, holy crap - good luck! If you survive that - hold onto your hats, then it gets bad." as he escapes into a Hawking Hole

SEC. 401. TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE.
(a) In General- Subchapter A of chapter 1 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by adding at the end the following new part:
Much more follows.
When the Internal Revenue Code was amended by HR 3200, new taxes were created. Failing to pay or evading those taxes (like failing to pay or evading any other tax designated in the code) triggers the penalties documented within the code chapter/sections I linked.
This is a tangled web that takes more than a cursory glance. It's not rocket science, but there are no official documents that lay it out in the terms you want to see aside from the documents that you don't want to accept.
I provided a link to a press release that references a non-partisan letter sent by the Joint Committee on Taxation. That press release happened to be from the Republican Ways and Means committee.
The evidence you ask for was linked in the article that you obviously didn't read:
The bill establishes tax requirements in: SEC. 401. TAX ON INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT ACCEPTABLE HEALTH CARE COVERAGE.
Since the above links aren't from official government sources - merely a prestigious law school, you can reference them against this official document:

There's a reason why we still haven't seen the year of Linux on desktop and probably never will.
Speak for yourself.
I saw the year of the Linux desktop in 2000, and every year since. When I *need Windows, I spin up a VMWare player.
No Steam for Linux means I won't be distracted from making money using my Linux desktop.

Don't forget, NASA is also supposed to be a Muslim outreach program.

But they share some characteristics. For example, neither can display Flash animations.
Additionally, people who buy them enjoy the superiority complex that comes bundled.

iPhone users are sluts!
They've been faithful to Apple and AT&T for almost four years now.
I've been a BB and Android user for 4 years and I've only had one partner (my wife).....well, maybe two (my hand)

The parent included an additional qualifier that you seem to have missed:

Certainly, there is wow in that story.
For me:
1. THE DUDE DIDN'T WAKE UP! Seriously, how drunk do you have to be to sleep through your toe being eaten? Truly, 4 sheets to the wind.
2. Half the toe is gone, blood is everywhere - how long did he spend looking for it?
I think it's interesting that he says he wears shoes to bed now.
I hope he wears a mask, gloves and a codpiece or the dog might just get something more important next time.
Nowhere in the article does it state that the dog was hungry.
I don't mean to imply anything, but dogs are used to detect other medical conditions.
