Drake equation on page 32? I'm impressed.

But this could just be because there are more males willing & eager to use "foursquare". Those few red circles? Well. It is San Francisco.

Ha! No, I'm afraid not. The dog couldn't sign the paperwork first, and received better care at the animal shelter than the ER. Hmmmm.....

Yes, this is awesome footage. What a connection the with the pre-earthquake city. All the more so for anyone who has ever been down that *same street* !! The Embarcadero/Ferry building tower at the end is still there, so are the streetcars ( ride the F trains ).

Definitely "time and again" ( Jack Finney ) material.

Thanks Robolasse. I dumped all over this creepy idea (last year?) on this blog and you're not alone in this reaction.

It was a long time ago.. but some things will never be funny.

I remember this. At SC'95 we had a 6' tall display screen which displayed volume slices head to foot ( front to back ) "life size".

It was disturbing. Like watching Oscar Meyer walk through a portal.

Indeed they do, Ted. In the US, it is 0.04 % BAC. That's about half the usual limit for drivers. Other rules state 8 hours "from bottle to throttle", and most airlines have more stringent company rules ( like 24 hours ). It's just not a good idea. This guy was lucky.

O-kaaaay. "Little boy macho" boasts about 12g aside, aerobatics is a rush but it won't kill you. Hitting something would. Sounds like a cool opportunity wasted.

I'm still waiting for the WAAF uniform.

It's a lever to throw electrical switches on power poles. Usually these have sockets for the metal covered end - and often padlocks in case some unauthorized prankster happens to have a handy stick

I don't know. Maybe I don't have the right sense of humor. It has been almost 100 years, but 1500 people died on the Titanic. This is in poor taste.

Sort of cute, yes. Would be nicer if they had a nicer environment I agree.

One last comment. The title continues the devaluation of the word "Zen" to the same meaningless misapplication that has been done with "quantum". I forgive Jon Stewart because his "moments of zen" are moments of surpassing weirdness.

No, no you don't. That's one thing from the 80's that's deservedly long gone. It's PCP. Bad, bad stuff.

Looked like the Dog didn't really mind until the fun was over.

What if cats could fly?

Too bad no pets are allowed on the ISS. I bet they'd have a ball after a week or so.
