@Miss Cellania, never been to LiveLeak, then?
An elderly woman I know of spent two weeks in hospital and almost died because of a cat scratch. They're pretty nasty. He's a dog that got scratched: http://picasaweb.google.ca/westcarleton/Layla

Have they gone after Gromit yet?

He put the “fun” back into “funeral.”

Should be wearing his helmet and leathers. Safety, you know.

Old news. I'd read that the camera was synched via a radio link so that the blades could be observed under load.

The earliest episodes are available, if anyone's interested:

What about grays and greens for aliens?

"1,075 degree" what? F or C? Not everyone is an American, you know. And I really am suspect of the 4-digit resolution that the number implies.

Motorcycle riders are taught not to stare at the edge of the road when rounding a curve, as you tend to steer where you are looking. So I guess this "eye-tracking" function is somewhat already wired into the brain.

These are great (or great-great) grandparents of mine...

My mother told me they were the heaviest men in England at the time (which I can't in any way prove). I'm just happy the fat gene wasn't inherited.

Good. One less lawyer.

Looks like Whoopi Goldberg's character Guinan in Star Trek. http://www.google.ca/images?hl=en&q=Guinan+star+trek

"The funnel makes it louder" implies amplification, which isn't strictly true. The funnel helps match the impedance of the tube with that of the surrounding air, resulting in a more efficient transfer of energy. It's how old phonographs got so much sound from a vibrating needle - impedance matching.

Um, volts isn't power. That's like saying "static electricity can generate 20,000 volts, so I can use it to power a factory".

Dammit, Alex, you just made my monitor use up its daily allotment of black pixels!
