OK, the whole Avatar thing has now officially been DONE TO DEATH. Enough already.

OK, what happened to part of that comment?! It was supposed to say:

Clone Neanderthals? Clone ANY people?

NO!!! Really. BAD! Idea. Sure, one or a few researchers might find a good and useful purpose for doing it but then (insert name of huge, nation-crushing corporaton here) gets a hold of the technology and the next thing you know The Clan of the Cave Bear takes over and The New World Order is here and hilarity ensues. Or something like that.

There's a very simple solution to this problem...just call Trogdor The Burninator, have him come over and POOF! Snow is gone!

That cat must be deaf. :-P

Mmmmmm...I'm sure that seal had some lovely, delicious breath.

How to stop a clicking hard drive...

Hahahahahaaa...I had a feeling there was gonna be some percussive maintenance involved there! :-D

WTmotherF. Is there a Russian late-night talk show with a "Stupid Human Tricks" segment? If not, there oughtta be!

That USGS website is a good one. It solved a mystery for me a while back. I lived in Michigan at the time and was (literally) jolted awake in the middle of the night by a loud bang and the very unsettling feeling of the house moving. At first I thought it was a dream but then I noticed my cat had been frightened by it too. Then I wondered if a vehicle had hit my house. I went outside and saw nothing unusual and the incident just became something that puzzled me for years. I never thought it could have been a minor earthquake but after looking it up it turned out it was!

"Do We Have a Moral Obligation to Seed the Universe with Life?"

Shouldn't that read: "Do We Have Right to Contaminate the Universe with our Stupidity, Arrogance and Prejudice?"

No.

Good lord. Anyone who designs a website like that needs to be hit over the head with a keyboard. Repeatedly.

I love it! It's almost as cool as the Hello Kitty AR-15!
I'll take 5 of each! :-D

Ugh. It looks like every house pictured in that magazine is a recreation of the ugly doctor office waiting rooms I remember being in as a child in the late 70's.

"...the Conservative movement might say it’s not really meat because it doesn’t come from an animal."

But it does come from an animal, the cells used to start the growth process have to come from somewhere. You can't take cells from a tomato and a carrot, fuse them together somehow and call that beef.

I'd think if the original cells and/or other necessary ingredients came from a kosher animal to begin with, how can the petri-dish meat grown from it not be kosher?

Ordinarily I'd be understanding of a wronged woman wanting to give a guy what amounts to a public skewering of his 'nads, but what did she expect to get out of screwing around with a married man? Especially since said married man strung her along with empty promises for EIGHT YEARS! How come it took her so long to figure out he was a no-good lying skirt-chaser?
