It's used to test for tripwires when dealing with explosives/IEDs. The hooks grab the wire, and you can use fishing line with the holes at the end.

Send me a random shirt, please. In small.

To be fair, those really aren't bombs and that isn't really an explosion. A bomb is when there is contained pressure. It looks very much like there is an escape route for the gas. Now, if these were buried in such a way that it was sealed, it would be a bomb and would create an explosion.

I could see this being absurdly easy with a bill that had 100 on one side and 1 on the other. or rather, a 1 dollar bill bonded to a 100 dollar bill using double sided tape or something. If that's not it, then I'm out of guesses. I didn't see any slight of hand, just noting that I didn't see the other side of the 1 dollar bill.

Yes, I'd want to relearn an alphabet. I'm a proponent of UNIFON and was unaware of Franklin's attempt. After studying Japanese and seeing how much easier it is to have a language with tight orthography, I look back on the years I spent learning how to spell properly. What a damn waste.... English is the only language to have spelling bees. We should not be proud of the fact that our language is confusing enough to have competitions.

Two people got to it. It's basically an LCD and it's called smartglass. I saw this featured in a movie years ago in which the characters were at a nightclub and there were private rooms that had this capability for people to do, uh, well, whatever.

I really hope you aren't implying that, because it makes you feel bad, readers should be denied from interesting material? This is Neatorama, not PCorama. Sorry. :( Yeah, bad stuff happens. At least the headline gives away the content with "5-year old mother". No one is making you read this.

What you seem to be missing is that the available extra funding that they have to pay baseball players is what allows for their astronomical rates. The amount of money that the players gain is proportional to how much money the company pulls in, compared to all its other expenses. The "highly paid athletes" would not be changing the amount of money they pull into the industry because they lose a portion of their paycheck. I'm sorry, that's not how it works. They're still going to perform their job as-is and fans are still going to be fans as-is. It's not like they're going to leave and go to someone that can pay more money because everyone gets hit equally with this. The entirety of the industry changes. Except now, maybe the people that work at the stadium might actually be able to afford a ticket to watch a game, so suddenly you have more people that can afford to be fans which brings more money into the baseball industry as a whole.
