A lot of green glass, like the top of some bus windows, does the same thing. It mostly makes things green but the sun looks red through it.

And there are a lot of OWS types who really believe rich people do this, too. At least judging from the way they talk.

The fact that land masses taper south is due to continental drip (not my idea, but I forget who dreamed it up. It's a joke, BTW. Also called the Sherwin-Williams Theory.)

When it drives like a car and can take off from a parking lot with no modification, it's a flying car. Until then it's a joke. For $280K you can buy a plane and rent cars.

There's a great video called Highwayman with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristofferson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash about an immortal man with endless lives. Poor Waylon got buried in Hoover (then Boulder) Dam. Look it up on YouTube.

Trying to reason with these folks is a lost cause, so here's something they can relate to:

We already do. The hydrologic cycle takes care of it.

Check out the Letter From 2012 on World Nut Daily. We've had major terrorist attacks, Russia has re-occupied Eastern Europe, Iran nuked Tel Aviv, the FCC can't keep porn off TV, there's a 6-3 liberal majority on the Supreme Court, and gays are driving Christian publishers out of business. Guess you didn't hear about…

Here's one. Psychic effects are exposed as total BS. The psychic is wrong every time and ends up in jail for fraud or obstruction of justice.

That is so cool! Little metal thingies flip over to indicate the time. It's like...like...like a digital clock from 1980.

Won't a thin layer of metal defeat this?

We have observational evidence for precisely one universe.

I like the fact that the orbits are elliptical. Also note how the drops orbit back along the needle, then abruptly forward again as they hit the end of the charged area. Next step, a charged ball on a wire. But how did he get the needle past TSA? Although since it was plastic, it probably wasn't picked up by the…

"and in their place came a new gritty realism, with handheld cameras and flawed characters."

"faster than the speed on light means going backwards in time. "

"Campbell liked to mix in the occasional serious scientific article alongside all the science fiction." Not really. John Campbell was one of the biggest cranks of the mid 20th century, responsible, among other things, for introducing dianetics, precursor of Scientology. Asimov himself wrote of his frustrations with…

"who is to say gravity has remained constant?"

That or an Angry Birds slingshot. I'm sure that's how he got through the barn window.

They had to shoot the owl because of the bird strike hazard. Because there are no seagulls anywhere near Honolulu.

Since there seems to be broad agreement on the notion that we have a dysfunctional electorate, and many readers here claim to be scientifically informed, wouldn't the scientific thing to do be conclude, or at least consider, the idea that universal suffrage has failed?
