@perry05: I suspect the fires are more likely caused by deep fryers.

This is a cute little rig, but there are two things I don't like about it. First is that the flame is invisible until the stove gets hot. The other is the danger of spilling. Spilled alcohol can catch fire invisibly.

@lespey: I wear boxer briefs, and I know they need to be replaced when the elastic won't hold my phone anymore.

@KamWrex: Not surprising, if they were a combo butcher-burger joint. No frozen pink hockey pucks dealt off a stack there, eh?

@aamadis: rancid meat and Simple Green

@NyQuilDreams: I have to say, you are a kind and generous person. Be careful you don't drift over into chump territory.

@KamWrex: Well, I choose my burger places by flavor, since I can't see into the kitchen (although I do bypass places where the trash area is filthy). McDonalds is a fail for me by the standard of flavor (except for the deep-fried pie sticks...mmm).

@shkm: I don't eat candy bars any more, but I clearly remember the choking sensation I would get from a 3 Musketeers. And yet I always ate another...

The whole charm of the McRib is its marketing, not its flavor. If you wanted a good pork sandwich without making it yourself, they are available in several places in any metro area.

@chris0089: Try cutting all dairy out of your diet for a few weeks. I accidentally discovered that it cleared my acne up when I was 17.

which is under constant scrutiny.

@JustinPM: If there was no one in the way, I'd have probably followed the cones, too, but when it started to block traffic I would have gone over the tape. It does seem like once the cones actually become a significant obstruction people started to go over them and when one person went over, others started to do it…

@wætherman: You beat me to it. I was surprised, though, by how few people stepped over the tape. Is this actually New York?

I used to have a pair of spherical speakers. The drivers were just three inches across, but they had super clarity and presence compared to much larger speakers. I don't know if it was the shape of the enclosure or just luck in the choice of drivers. This looks like it's worth experimenting with...though I'd prefer…

@tjstafford01: Yeah, no one would ever go overboard about a FaceBook status update in the US. [www.techdirt.com]

I guess things are so quiet in Doncaster the police and courts don't have any real crime to keep them busy.

@Charles Hamilton: We'll just have to leave it up to you, then.

Never use "Important! Respond immediately!" or the word "lottery" in your subject line. My spam filter dumps those before I can even see who sent them.

They do need a zombie muppet comic book. Or better yet, a movie.

I don't need no stinkin wheel. I use my fingers.
