I don't think anybody's exactly encouraging families of 17 kids; I'd start to worry if someone started actively discouraging large families. Shades of communist China there. And who is to say what the right number of people on a planet really is?

No worries about the 90,000 diapers; I'd hazard to guess that with 17 kids they probably don't use disposables. We used cloth diapers for two kids, and while not terribly pleasant to deal with, we were encouraged by knowing we weren't sending plastic-wrapped crap to sit in a landfill for years.

More caffeine is a bad thing? Not on an early schedule! ;o)

After looking at that list, the thing that shocked me is that Sunkist Orange has caffeine. Why is that? I bought (note: past tense) that stuff for my kids all the time because I don't want them drinking caffeinated stuff.

Anybody know what Diet Cheerwine tastes like? Never heard of it.

Great; killed the server.

I can do that.

Come on ya'll; it's on YouBube; it must be real.

I suppose "Ram Island" in the NE is about as ubiquitous as "Long Lake" here in the upper midwest.

Very neat place. I'll bet you've got tons of great memories about that place. I wonder; does it feel smaller to you now than you remember it?

Too bad it can't stay in the family a little longer. Hey, here's a thought... Anybody else willing to throw $10 into a pot to help Adam buy his folks' island? I'll be first. Now we just need another 79,499 people to pitch in!

Is there a story behind the name?

Didn't somebody post something on this a couple of weeks ago? I saw it while at work, kept it open on the laptop to show it to the kids when I got home, and it was gone later that night. I thought the Pixar lawyers had maybe come down on you all.

Very neat little movie though! I love the huge panel of switches, sans labels! Call it the Redmond Interface.

Are they sure she hasn't got some blood from a certain Scottish family? ;o)

That's pretty amazing. The only thing I wonder about is how he swims without feet or hands.

The nuked eggs video is so cool.

True story; when in high school I worked as a cook at a restaurant that had the cook's stations behind the customer counter, with a number of tables around that. On a busy Sunday morning, the guy in the other station got an order for a soft-boiled egg. Not knowing how to make it & not wanting to take the time to look it up, he stuck a whole egg in a shallow bowl of water & put it in the microwave. 30 seconds later BOOOOMMMM!!!! goes the egg, blowing the door open & egg everywhere. The buzz of conversation had been replaced with silence, except for the banging of the door as it bounced back & forth a couple of times. Everyone in the place is looking toward the cooks, but the other guy had ducked behind the station, leaving me to look the fool.

The first & only time I got a standing ovation.

so, captainfroosh; would that starving child be any better off if these items hadn't been nuked? I didn't think so.

Too true, Roger. Moeller has to be running the biggest scam of the century. He usually comes up with a big press release like this when money is tight... get a few more "investors" to jump in. Then some glitch will keep actual deliveries from happening. There have been a number of investigations by the feds; I'm surprised he hasn't been shut down by now.

I AM THE DREAD CAT OSCAR!

I'VE COME FOR YOUR SOULSSSSS!

Why not?

Very neat. But you gotta watch those pro-Christian posts, Rev. Don't want to offend the atheist readers. ;o)

Why wasn’t it some other god instead of the Christian god. How did he know which god?

Maybe because there is only one God (there's a difference between God and a god.)

I'm always amazed when a post comes up on Neatorama that has an even slightly positive tone toward Christian; all the haters come out blasting the site for its pro-Christian bias. How is an article about an atheist having a near-death experience Christian propaganda?

Get over yourselves.
