This is silly. Yes, there are ways to make discoveries other than the scientific method. There's no reason why considering, thinking, playing shouldn't be used to find new stuff.

The scientific method isn't necessarily the method of discovery, but it is the way to demonstrate to others that something has been discovered. Play, thinking, considering, etc. aren't repeatable and demonstrable and so aren't good for verification.

This is kind of like, "Everything I say is a lie." If you are authorized, this de-authorizes you, which means you are authorized, which de-authorizes you ... If the ancients had protected the Arc of the Covenant with a sign like this the Nazis never would have gotten their hands on it!

My hands never touch the bristles of my tooth-brush, just the handle and the toothpaste tube. It looks like your hands would directly touch this thing to get it on your tongue.

That said, I'm not paranoid about my hands anyway. But if you are really worried about it wash your hands with soap and hot water for 45 seconds prior to brushing and you'll be fine.

What's their solution for hamburgers and hot dogs?

The problem is not that people don't know how to do math, but that the person who wrote this equation did a lousy job writing an equation.

Here's one that passes the test today, from Salon.com. http://www.salon.com/2013/03/10/paleofantasy_stone_age_delusions/

I read it wrong. My apologies to all for my idiocy.

Isn't it backwards? The less coffee in the coffee would lead to more people who like coffee, not fewer.

Moknuckles?

I don't know why that seems crazy to us. It's exactly how many businesses treat their customers, particularly subscription businesses like magazines, internet, cable TV or cell phones. New customers get great deals, come-one, special perks while existing, loyal customers get increased fees, lowered services and crappy service.

Aren't those the back legs?

It's in practice.

That's just The Kid with AitO footage spliced in.

$40 a pillow and $29 shipping? That's almost $150 for three pillows, and no matter how nice even Romney wouldn't pay that.

I did this same exercise a couple years ago to figure out exactly how much football a pro plays in their life. Assume they start every game in high school (24) and college (44) and ten years as a pro (160 regular plus 40 post-season games after they win 10 Super Bowls in a row) and they've played 268 games. I had it figured at 15 minutes a game of play on one side of the ball is 7.5 minutes of play a game, averaged up to 10 in case they played both sides of the ball in high school and college.

So that's 2680 minutes of football in their whole life, or the equivalent of 45 hours in their entire life, less than two days.

How about if we just ban them because they are creepy?
