I think the amazing thing about his purring, Loomis, is that he wasn't unconscious or too afraid.

Skippy, I'm amazed you could be so cold. Yes, cats are over abundant, but that's no reason to treat them as disposable. My own cat, Azul, is approaching her first birthday in October. When she was four weeks old, someone threw her and her sister from a moving vehicle on a back road where she was found bleeding from the head by my aunt and cousin, who took her to a vet and saved her life. I fell in love with her at word one when they brought her to Thanksgiving dinner. Now she keeps my lap warm every morning and covers me with kisses, sits next to the tub when I take my bath, and plays fetch every evening before bed.

I don't care how many cats there are. She's one of a kind.

Zombie, pointing out that "dumb dumb dumb" is not criticism, but a dismissive insult, is not censoring.

I mean, by your own logic, you're telling Lucky to censor his/herself. Or do you just enjoy mind numbing hypocrisy?

Also, it's a turnstile. I don't think it needs to "detect" disability any more than the big stall in the public restroom. The expectation is that putting this in a public place creates the requisite pressure to use it correctly.

Apparently, if you go to the link, the designers were concerned about people in flight in case of an emergency as well. This way people don't hurt themselves on a metal turnstile if there's a fire or something.

Wow Ted. Native Speaker did not say it's okay to create a concept with no suggestions for implementation or practical use. NS said that Neatorama did not fully explain that this design is still very preliminary, so we don't know everything the makers have planned for it.

PK, I'm sure a fifth leg gets in the way. Also, the woman who bought the dog likely assumed, probably rightly, that he wouldn't get the kind of stability and affection working in a freak show that he would from one set of grateful hands.

I'm not terribly sentimental about animals in general, but I see no reason to disparage her choice. It's rather touching that she wanted to provide the dog a normal, loving life.

I suppose you just have to hope that you don't have any fish that like to jump. My first Beta Splendin bit it when I left the top off one morning. I found him dried up by my keyboard. A lesson learned the very hard way.

It would be funny if I hadn't seen this a million times because he hasn't updated in forever.

As an illustrator, I've always said I could never go on living without my hands or eyes. I don't know if I would put myself at risk (not having a tumour removed) to keep my talent.

I think I'd rather be around to appreciate art if I couldn't make it. The deal with my hands is that I have to draw or I feel anxious and terrible. It would be torment to be unable to act on those impulses.

I definitely have a zombie plan. Not a robot one, though. I guess I've always figured that with robots, there isn't really anything I can do.

But I always size up new buildings for the potential resistance to zombies.

This reminds me of that Ren and Stimpy episode where they pulled the wings off of flies in gruesome detail.

I know he releases them, and I'd just as soon swat a fly to death, but I still can't help but feel weird about playing with them like that.

I don't think it's dumb. I think you have nothing interesting to say.

I wouldn't call it a "little" sexist. I can't appreciate creativity if it's backwards, barbaric, and offensive.

And I think axe smells terrible. I would never date a man who wore it.

Wow, that guy has no idea what he's talking about. No one lived in those caves where the paintings were. There are no signs of habitation. People specifically went into the caves to paint, and the paintings are actually incredibly detailed and the subjects well observed. It's the depictions of people that are lackluster, usually abstract and with animal features.

Also, we have hints that art extended out of the caves and served ritual purposes. We have lots of little fertility goddess figurines, carved bits of ivory with similar depictions of game and predators. And the same things happened in other cultures that we've observed and documented, for one thing. Recall the cave paintings in Australia and their ritual significance.

Seriously, what's up with this post? It's very glib and misleading. This art history student is annoyed.

Skin from donated bodies is usually used for burn victims. It isn't scrap.

I'm not sure the donors expected their bodies to be used this way, and that's frankly the only thing that bothers me about this.

Seriously!? When did being a geek mean I suddenly traded in my vagina? Oh joy for being completely invisible!
