In other pig related news.....there is a worldwide bacon shortage forecast for next year. http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/world-bacon-shortage-unavoidable-223157784.html

Usually allow extra 10/15 minutes to clean off car and warm it up and then 10/15 more to allow for poor road conditions/accidents.

It seems like it leaves a lot of empty real estate on your desk....why not make it as wide (or nearly) as the monitor.....more room for more junk under there.

Didn't Madame Curie die from her work as well?

In my next life (the one where I am born a genius), I want to go to MIT; they do the coolest stuff there. This will be a wonderful device for emergency services people in times of crises, not only saving victims, but keeping themselves safer as well.

I am not sure how to react to that, as I am a redhead.

First you have to get through the 24" of snow to get down to the ice, so the preferred weapon here is a snow brush/scraper combo. Mine is about 4' long so I can reach the middle of the windshield as well as the back and side windows, with a heavy duty main shaft to handle the weight of the snow. Once you brush off…

I might use this to scrape the ice out of my freezer, but against our mighty Great Lake/Midwest blizzards, this tiny thing would be useless for a car, let alone a tall SUV.

That type of oppressive "leadership" could make the most lovely locale on the planet a shitty place to live.

I am weird too. I don't FB nor do I have any desire to do so. I also do not Tweet.

No worries, this is the internet and pretty much anything said good about anything or with any manner of sincerity is suspect. The greatest tragedy would be if no one gave a damn. I am glad to see from the comments that that is not the case. :)

101% genuine. I may joke about a lot of things, but freedom isn't one of them. Neither is knowledge or education. There may be a child in Iran who will be denied access to something on the net that could light a fire in him/her that could some day cure cancer, end hunger, etc. I see potential good for mankind…

We will miss our gadget loving Iranian brothers and sisters and we will be here waiting for you (with open arms and internet) when you return.

And do not stop to get you laptop (or any gadget) no matter how much you love it. Everything can be replaced, except you.

That's what you have to do to deal with the trolls.

Yeah, we need it so we can laugh at guys with teeny tiny peni.

Thank goodness for Giz. Its one of the few places they actually "get" my humor. Scary part is, usually (as in this case) what I type is the first ting that pops into my mind.

Got that excited, did you? ;)

Check me out you hot little Herbivore. Take a walk on the wild side, but just remember once you go Carnivore you never go back.

Imagine the sexting pics.
