You really think a human invention can stop an asteroid sent by God?

Bright headlights are a headache. But the worst thing ever invented for city traffic is the led strips that idiots in pickups and jeeps mount on the top or grill of the vehicles. Then leave them on anytime it is dark. Those things are about as bright as 4 led headlights on bright!

Now do one for us older guys. Try 50 years ago. In 1974 we got The Quester Tapes. The Terminal Man. Flesh Gordon. Planet Earth. The Cloning of Clifford Swimmer. And, last but not least...The best movie of all times....Zardoz! Who doesn't want to see Sean Connery in a red diaper and thigh high black boots?

LIke chicken.

Well, I don’t think she is willfully ignorant nor stupid. But my wife is one of these people. I don't ever bring the subject up. She just firmly believe that it was totally faked. But then she also believes that there are totally humanoid robots, and electronic devices tiny enough to be injected into a blood stream.…

My thought also. Why the heck did he get his fingers close enough to a rat to get bitten!?

I glance at Gizmodo most days. Today, 3/31, was the first day I noticed this.

Not really. My brother in laws Dad used to sell a similar product in the 1970's. He even saved his neighbors house once, when it caught fire. He threw a couple in the burning house. And the fire was out when the fire department got there.

Man, you Yung’uns. Our favorite toys as a kid were Matchbox cars. Although I had a really cool Erector set that would be a close second. All metal girders. Lots of small nuts and bolts. Pulleys, and an electric motor with an open reversable gearbox that would pinch the crap out of your finger if you weren’t careful.…

My passion has always been b&w photography. My Dad was a professional photographer. I worked in the darkroom from 1964 until digital killed film. That squirrel shot is perfect. Can’t get much more black and white than that!

I used to have some prints from the original negatives from the Apollo 11 landing. My Dad was a professional photographer, and used the same lab in Houston that processed NASA’s film. The lab got permission to sell sets of about 20 of the more famous shots. Sadly, they’ve all disappeared over the years.

Maybe it started out as a bush, and something that liked to eat them ate all the leaves as high up as it could reach? Or, maybe it was a first attempt at doing a topiary?

Here is a link about it.

So, have there been studies to find out how much of this actually is absorbed by our bodies? Or if it is just passed through?

“My take on all this is that basically everything that exists is out to kill us, one way or another.”

I'm not absolutely sure, but I think it's 14, 2030, 14.

I was thinking The X-59 Pinocchio.

Steamboating Walt's Willie?

I have a friend who looked into a Krispy Kreme franchise when they first started opening in our area. $1,000,000 per store. And you had to open a minimum of two. He said Nope! Of the two that did open here, one only lasted about three years. The other is doing well. But it is way on the other side of town. I don't…
