After reading the whole article, I just have to say that I get a kick out of people who would store wine and whiskey. Surely, with limited space, you'd want to store more -- oh, I don't know -- food.
I guess some people are anticipating an end-of-the-world bender.
OddNumber must have been joking. Or he/she is completely unaware of a little storm called Katrina.
Personally, I think it would be cool to live off the grid, as far as electricity goes. No more worries about power outages. I mean, if society did collapse, you wouldn't need your TV, but it would still be nice to have light and heat.
Oh, but it's so much more FUN to tell your little boy that he was once a girl!
Maybe we weren't all technically girls, but if we all looked the same until a certain point, then you could say our bodies showed the characteristics of being female. But I don't know how you'd explain that to a six-year-old kid without confusing them all to hell. I'd rather just use the "old wives' tale" and risk being called a radical feminist by people like AnUnSi.
Too bad the article doesn't say how you should explain things like androgen insensitivity syndrome and XX male syndrome. That might be interesting...
Well, that's just plain cool. Too bad I don't have a wheelchair to stick one of these on!
This would be great for older folks who don't have the strength to walk to the corner store, but who might be able to pedal there (assuming this is as efficient as a regular bike).
I watched without sound, but I still figured it was an ad for a car company. It reminded me of the Ford commercial with the acrobats that take the form of cars.
"Protectan CBLB502, tested in mice and monkeys, protects radiation-blasted tissues by shutting down this cell death programme, which the body normally turns on in cells with damaged DNA to keep them from multiplying"
So now the cells with damaged DNA are allowed to multiply? Way to override the body's natural wisdom. What crazy new forms of tumours is this drug going to cause?

That's still better than zero in a trillion.
Okay, I wonder if he's got an "end body" tattoo somewhere. Now I don't care. I'm just pissed at HTML.
