Actually, the modern switchblade, also known as a tactical knife, is not illegal in the right hands. In fact, in order to purchase this type of knife, you have to provide your professional credentials to Gerber for them to review and confirm, which I have. You also have to periodically confirm your credentials. …

Oh man, I had this poster on my walls as a kid, shortly after the movie came out. I had the shirt, the drinking glass, and pretty much every other marketing widget they pooped out.

Can I just get the bag? I get a special government discount through Gerber, and that bag might be nice to have. That reminds me, I also need to get a tactical switchblade knife, just in case the zombies get too personal. :-)

That's interesting. I've honestly never given something like that a thought. The clitoris, like the penis, exists in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, so I imagine the effect would be more noticeable with a more prominent clitoris. I can't imagine someone funding a study on this, but stranger things have happened.

I use Chrome, and I also keep my links in organized folders based on what they are. For example, I have a Lifehacker folder and I keep anything I might want to read again or share in that folder for later viewing. Using Chrome means all my links are saved to all my devices using Chrome, no matter where I am. …

Wow, I wish I had a tea bag buddy...

His favorite food? Dude, only a very very experienced phrenologist could do that. It took quite a few minutes to get that good.

I remember ba booshka as a hat, not a scarf. I have a good ear for languages, which helps me reproduce how people say things in other languages. I spent a little time in Russia, and this ability endeared me to the locals who seemed beyond thrilled that as an American I made an honest attempt at not only learning the…

LADY morning wood? Interesting... I guess I'll have to ask my wife about that. I can say that's a subject that's never um, come up, in over 26 years of our marriage.

I have to be careful about the exercises I do, and have consulted with sports medicine specialists on what I should and shouldn't do with regard to my particular back injuries. I also have to maintain a particular level of physical fitness for my job and I need to remain as limber as possible. Every stretch I do is…

I have to be honest, that as a guy, I've read the books. While I found the story line itself interesting, I found the dialogue and teen angst to be utter dross. Frankly, despite the reasonably interesting story, the writing itself was truly poor. I also watched the first movie when it came out and thought the…

I guess my question would be about the budget for producing an episode. Was it really that expensive? Were you getting paid per episode, doing this as part of your jobs at io9, or what? I'm not meaning to probe too personally, so please excuse me if I am. It's just sad to see the shows go away. Thanks for all the…

I knew it was a a spider, but only because I saw the little hairs, first. I've never seen an ant with hair.

Yeah, I'm in my mid-40's and I still experience the morning wood. I've also had my testosterone checked recently, and it was perfect. As others have said, go get it checked. I don't believe it's normal to not get the occasional morning wood.

Well, it depends on how you pronounce it. For a grandmother, you would quickly say the babu as baba, almost like baba blacksheep. The emphasis is on the first BA. The other is more of a baboo as in BOO, with the emphasis on the BOO.

Never mess with a Russian when livestock are on the line!

That statement seems rather vague to me.

I'm on the outskirts of Kansas City, and I'm not sure we will ever get this in our area. I would rename my first born Google if they brought it to my area, no matter he says.

I agree with you in regard to stretching before performing some sort of sport requiring a great deal of speed or strength. On the other hand, I've found that stretching has proven beneficial to my quality of life after two surgeries on my lower back. I can absolutely tell the difference in how my back feels if I go…

Thanks! I think I'll go ahead and read the first book and see how I like it before moving on to the second. Here goes nothing...
