"NIMBY!"?
They don't just burn it in a pile. If it's anything like the Swiss Kompogas plants, there's sophisticated smell control to prevent complaints, and the burning is done in an efficient furnace of some kind.

I got in a crowded elevator the other day. The space was just big enough, but I had to stand facing everyone else with my back to the door. It felt weird.

There would be a danger that you'd miss a spot, causing the condom to leak and become useless. Also, mess, delay in drying, you can't carry a can around with you in your purse or pocket, etc etc. Who gave this guy capital? It's just a gimmick product that ignores the reasons the current product is designed so.

Martin Cruz Smith wrote a book called 'Nightwing' which told the story of a plague outbreak carried by vampire bats. He then went on to write 'Gorky Park'.

This is a great gallery of covers for the book, over the 100+ years it's been in print. Lots of different tripod designs!

These are cool. I'd like to see an adult version, where the band-aids are printed with the special words we use when we stub our toe or get a paper cut.

@Mooncake
You are joking, right? It's not just a faux-pas to leave your dog's crap on the ground, it's irresponsible and stupid. What the heck does, "It's POOP, leave it there" mean?

British satirical magazine Private Eye has had a feature like this for years. They tend to be British political and pop culture figures, but they're often hilarious. They make it more funny by swapping the names under the pictures:

(hint: change the 110 at the end of the URL to go back and look at the old entries.)

I often stop and read billboards, then grimace, shake my head and walk on in disgust. Will that be picked up?

dan: there was a sequence in Minority Report where the hero was escaping down a street, trying to be anonymous, and all the billboards were recognizing him and calling his name out, targeting him with ads.

True, while in public you are not in private, but it should be reasonable to expect not to be recorded in everything you do.
