    Really this is the first super-duper-ultra-mega full face transplant, coming after the first full transplant, first super full transplant, first super-duper full transplant, and the first super-duper-ultra full transplant.

    That should tell you just how full this face transplant is.

    I knew a guy a few years back who basically "knew" that in his lifetime (he was around 35 at the time, probably about 40 now) that we would have the medical techonolgy to live for ever.

    There are a lot of those Kurzweil worshipping morons around /.

    There's a video of this with a dog's head. It's fucking creepy (and possibly fake--some controversy over that, but either way it freaks me out).

    As above, yes. You're way past the mark on this one.

    Nah, the usual pattern in OE derived strong verbs is i->a->u. Ex: Sing, sang, sung; drink, drank, drunk; swim, swam, swum. So we get: shit, shat, shut.

    OR, we could not be pedantic about it and accept that in the common usage of the verb 'to shit' it simply isn't conjugated.

    It's already illegal to conspire to commit criminal acts (generally speaking).

    And suicide bombers are at least as motivated as your local meth head getting a cuppa at Starbucks.

    Since when could meth heads afford Starbucks?

    On a more serious note, your post does nothing to address the fact that the no-fly list is a waste of time and money as a preventive measure, because it catches orders of magnitude more innocent flyers (including one US Senator) than actual terrorist suspects.

    No, they put Buster in the raft, and dropped him from the helicopter (at 2k feet, IIRC). The raft see-sawed back and forth, but stayed upright (keeping him in it) and slowed his fall.

    And not even give you the raft.

    I've just got to ask, what's a "liberal fact"? Facts don't have political leanings. Facts aren't ideological.

    There is a long list of both Fascist and Marxist dictators that would disagree quite strongly with that statement.

    This is politics, not science.

    Climate research hasn't been about science in well over a decade.
