  1. Re:You can laugh... on Koolio, the Beer Delivery Robot · · Score: 1

    I wish they would just legalize prostitution everywhere so that insensitive clods like you can can get your misogynistic need for a quiet sex machine resolved with the least amont of damage to any female that might be temporarily drawn into a relationship with geeks like you.

    With this said, my sig. ought to be some guy's hobby.

  2. Re:The smell of cancer on The Sound of Cells · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I hope they continue to delve into the olefactory sences as well. They found out that some dogs can smell melanoma. Combine that with sound technology and we can get the lousy HMO check up process out of the way. "Hey doc, whats with this mole on my boob?" "Its a third nipple." "No shit, are you sure it's not cancer" "Of course I'm sure, I'm a doctor!"

  3. Re:The Score on Technology Spontaneously Combusts In Sicily · · Score: 1

    Why is it that so many people refuse to take 'we don't know yet' as an acceptable answer?

    The same reason religion and all of it's pitiful, half assed explanations of phenomena are somehow accepted as divine intervention.

    Fortunately, science is constantly debunking God's miracles and finding new mysteries that God has not yet horned in on.

  4. MTG Proposal Card on Marriage Proposal via Atari 2600? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I dug the creator of MTG's marriage proposal card. But then I'm a girl and that kind of weepy crap really gets me.

  5. Living Martians? on NASA Says Mars Rocks Formed in a Salty Sea · · Score: 1

    Fossils and reminents aside. I've got mixed feelings about finding life on Mars? Yeah it would be amazing to know that there are others in the universe...but to subject them to human contact (and testing).

  6. Re:Fear Sells. on Thirty-Three States Contributed to the MATRIX · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The MATRIX could have a hand in stopping a couple incidents but watching our own citizens and keeping an eye on immigrants we allowed into the country and have kept their info updated with the government are the least of our worries.

    I'm more concerned about the infrequent inspections of cargo ships or what about our current foriegn policies that seem to have created this whole threat of terrorism in the first place.

  7. Re:You'll get used to it. on Pop Up Ads in Space · · Score: 1

    If their sky is dull and gray, I am assuming this is because of industrial and vehicular pollution, which would affect the also visibilty of the ads, right?

  8. Learn Mandarin Chinese on Entertaining Your Brain? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In several different dialects.

  9. Re:Just the smell of coffee gets me goin' on Coffee is a "Health Drink" · · Score: 1

    I feel ya on the olfactory placebo effect. I just look at my veins or smell blood and want heroin. And lately the smell of cardbord makes me to do a line of coke. Fuckn'eh, filing shit at the bloodbank is making me all twitchy!

  10. Re:blow dryers on Electric Shavers Rot Your Brain · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get laid much?

  11. Re:Before opening, please see on Ancient Antarctic Bacteria Revived · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sorry...still learning how to post in HTML...let me try this again within my current skill level. The human race is far too adaptive to be wiped out by viral or bacterial out break. Of course I can only talk out of my ass here, as I have no definitive proof except for Europe surviving the Black Plague; but every single disease that has surfaced (including AIDs http://www.hhs.gov/news/press/1996pres/960926.html ) has revealed a community of people that were either resistant or immune. For example I carry the gene for sickle cell anemia and as a side effect I have a natural resistance to Malaria, neato. Yeah, there would be casualties if we brought back, recovered or revived some unfamiliar "bug" and it turned out a sizable group was non-adaptive, but this is science (and they have special suits and underground hideouts for the really important people) and we sacrifice everything for growth, especially if it could bring in some extra public funding.

  13. Let them change sports on Gene Therapy Creates Strong Super-Rats · · Score: 1

    "Gene injections in rats can double muscle strength and speed, researchers have found, raising concerns that the virtually undetectable technology could be used illegally to build super athletes." Sports, to me anyways, have gotten so boring, especially the Olympics. Remeber the old (Power, Gator, other)-ade commercials where sports evolved to allow for all those extra electrolites to take action; basketball had moving hoops with AI and power jumps or competitive diving w/ muliple boards. Fuck baseball with its fat, sloppy players with their crack-addictions and faulty knees, elbows, shoulders, etc... Add some tigers to the outfield and give them their metal bats. Let them physically disagree with the umpire (also pumped up) and have fastballs that could put a hole in a man. Golf could also use some help. Who knows, maybe they could even all die quicker.

  14. Re:See a doctor on Cyberchondria · · Score: 1

    I looked up an odd "symptom" that has been ailing me the last two months out of morbid curiosity...apparently I have diabeties or I masterbate too much. I wish I was joking.
