I've had this done for about three years now, and came up with the injection procedure. As long as no damage is done during the injection (too much, too deep, infection, etc) the odds of causing future problems are basically zero.
They should have put a slight tilt on the table, with the middle high and the ends low, like a house roof, to avoid the ball stopping too early as it does regularly in the video. Love this idea though.
The quality leaves a lot to be desired, although these are much much better than the Hannah Montana ones, which are cheap one-color clip-art line drawings of flowers and guitars. I'm surprised they didn't do a better job... it would be great if they had "photos" on them (and judging by the photos on cakes, it's theoretically possible to do such a thing -- I guess it must be too slow and/or costly for mass production).
What happens when someone gets busted, and then tells the court "God told me to do it?"
What does the court do? Either the court has to say "sorry, god doesn't exist", or it has to accept it, or it has to say "not guilty by reason of mental illness"...
I guess this dummy doesn't realize that "Klingon" *IS* a human language. It's no different than teaching a kid esperant. My main concern would be about teaching a kid an immature language that may not have a fully thought out syntax and vocabulary.
Dunno why everyone is so down on this guy. I have nothing but admiration for him, and if I was as rich as him, going into space for a week would be very high on my list of "at any cost" life experiences. The fact that he made his money running a modern circus just makes the story richer.
This is actually an older story, and lots of pictures of tihs sub have been floating around for months. I'm sure it's real. However, from the construction I can't imagine that the sub can dive to a depth of much more than ten feet safel without the hull collapsing -- it doesn't look very strong.
Birthrates are dropping very quickly and very few first world nations have a positive birthrate. In fact, last time I checked, the US was the *ONLY* first world nation who has a positive birthrate.
We're NOT going to have 50-100 billion people by 2100. Odds are we'll peak at 10 billion, if that. The UN projects we peak at just over 7 billion at 2040, and then start going down from there.
