Tempscire's Comments

I appreciate the Like button: I think it's tidier to click on it to show your enjoyment of a post than adding some inane, useless comment like "lol" or "Cool!" Obviously anyone with more to say can still comment further, but for most reactions, pushing a button and joining a tally is more than enough.

The "meh" button implies indifference and apathy. Those subtexts have their place, to be sure, but aren't any substitute for an active dislike.

The main advantage to a "dislike" button that I see is offering solidarity for the bumps in life. "I got locked out of my house again"-- "liking" or even "meh-ing" that makes you look like a jerk (assuming your relationship with said friend doesn't involve lots of teasing).

Surely I am not the only one here who only has people I'm actually interested in (and not their apps) come up in my feed? If you (general you) so often feel the need for a "you're wasting my time" button, either you need to get off FB or remove the offending party...or do you not care so much you can't stand to see your friend count go down, even if it would give you less to whine about?

But the rats still died after having grown lung installed. :p I guess it's still progress.

Also, my brain tries to imagine surgery on rats and their teeny little lungs and just gives up. How do you even attach something like? Jeesh.

"Technicians who examined it removed the back, but found “nothing but cobwebs and spiders”."

So there.

1. Yeah, 'cause no other report of a hoax has ever claimed experts of one kind or another were stumped or verified it as legit.

2. Weasel words. "Technicians."-- who are they and why aren't they explicitly named and quoted in the article? Experts say this sounds suspect.

@Nick Gisburne

I'd like to point out that just because the actual manuscripts are owned does not mean their copyright is. Even unpublished works pass into the public domain: in this case, 70 years after the author's death. So while any presentation or edits or whatnot may be copyrightable, the actual content itself still is not.
