I remember that. I also remember that the Americans first tried to blame Canada. :P

What was the point of this study? Humans don't even have that organ!

Thank goodness.

LOL... T is for Tubgirl. I think I had that same reaction (as the terrified girl in the picture) when I first saw it...

If the current is that powerful, think of the energy that could be generated once they figure out how to solve the problem!

I'm sure he'd rather slather on sunscreen than be teased his whole life.

One of my favourite things about bras is the ability to take them off at the end of the day. I'd rather have National Geographic boobs than one of these contraptions!

Now there's an idea!

However, I'm not sure I'd want to be driving around with a bunch of morons who don't know how to properly secure a heavy metal box to the top of their car...

Our dog could have used one of those. She just used her head. But hey, you could always tell where in the house she was... you just had to follow the hollow knocking sound!

I haven't heard one way or the other. If a pane of glass sits in the hot sun for a hundred years, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it might've "flowed" a bit. But, on the other hand, the opposite wouldn't surprise me either.

What did surprise me was hearing that glass didn't completely harden. Especially since I was holding a glass plate at the time that certainly FELT solid... :)

Interesting tidbit!

I haven't noticed any missing e-mails (well, I guess I wouldn't, would I?) but I have noticed a 12-hour time lag in receiving some Hotmail messages from others. Not acceptable.

Statetris Australia would be pretty easy, too. Not many pieces there. And Statetris Canada wouldn't be too hard... though it would probably stump most non-Canadians.

As for Statetris Africa, there's no way I'd be able to do it, so I'm not even going to try. I know Egypt and South Africa. Beyond that, I'm clueless!

Too bad they couldn't somehow test the alcohol content in the urine. It might be less messy than letting drunks pee everywhere.

Interesting. Look at how low China is! But then, look at how big their population is...

The pillar doesn't block off the doorway entirely (I would think that should be obvious). This makes sense if you think about it.

Unfortunately, I think humans have more in common with cows than with ants. We tend to stampede when we're spooked (despite our supposedly superior brains).

Cool trick!
