Ban all technology. It has all been used to harm people. Ban fire. Ban electricity. Go back to the trees in a world that can only support half a million people. Luddites unite!

A cat, when confronted with an empty can from gravy, will most likely get every drop from the can that it is able to before realizing that it has now isolated its head within a can that it cannot remove.

I think I saw something like this on an episode of YPFIGTH on Adult Swim.

Booster? I’m so old that I got measles before they made the vaccines mandatory and free in all schools. Lifetime immunity, baby... yeah!

Fireworks: making the future a brighter place since ancient China.

Well, to be fair, who uses A5stroGl1d3 as their password twice?

Are there extra points for the Savage Steve Holland reference?

This is sheer quackery. Everybody knows the only way to tell the true character of a person is by reading the bumps on their head. Science!

Lloyd Pye was right. Bigfoot is real.

How do you know it is a condom?

It's the only way to increase the throughput bandwidth.

The quality of the snow and the temperature of the air and pavement are important to the road conditions. Areas with low snowfall usually get snow only at the magical temperature from 25F to 35F, where there is an incredible amount of melting from friction or contact. It's the little layer of water that forms that…

No comparison. All-season tires don't have the tread of a good snow tire, and the hardness of the rubber will also be important. An all-season tire with hockey puck hardness that will go for 50K miles isn't really a good choice for cold weather. Two sets of tires and wheels will be the most efficient and safe way of…

Until they allow us to mount defensive anti-chase rockets on our vehicles, snow on the roof is a good alternative, though.

Water vapor. If they had water vapor all summer, they would have had rain all summer. The problem with California is that their local body of water is too cold and stingy and Scrooge-like to cough up the goods, and the atmosphere is too thin and cold to transport water vapor for very far unless it is in a dispersion…

It just destroys me when people use Littoral when they mean virtuous.

The system admins can burn a burner account, requiring that you create a new one. A drive-by Twitting is less effort, since you can use it for other spamming as well. Nearly every comments section in the modern web-verse will accept a Twitter Login as valid. But if they are bent on self-destructing, can't they go…

Don't forget the apocalyptic visions of Patrick J. Moynihan, who created a fiction in which New York and almost every other seaside metropolis on Earth was destroyed by global warming, being swallowed by the sea by the year 2,000. (Odd historical note: Most of the major cities of the world actually were underwater…

The glass, table and liquid are level in the shot. It would appear that Prague has a river running through it and actually has a slope to its horizon, which adds to the idea of the Tipsy McStagger experience.l

Finally, Obama is doing something about my Lathe of Heaven infatuation with Ursula K. Le Guin, one of the hottest minds on the planet. (wink)
