They're not banned in Canada, as far as I know. Unless the booth at the mall where my wife bought hers is illegal.

Not all chloroformings are rape-related. Just sayin'

Odd how he's nitpicking so much, yet he writes the speed of light as 300,000,000 m/s instead of 299,792,458 m/s.

Here's a link to the pdf of the journal article

Don't worry folks, this isn't an antibiotic in the typical sense, so there's no worry (maybe) of the bacteria developing a resistance. The infection in question is lethal because of the septic shock that it induces - basically the immune system freaks the hell out over endotoxin shed by the bacteria, and releases a

The home button on my iPhone 4 bit the dust, so when I jailbreaked it I installed Activator, and set it so that my status bar, which I never touch, is now set to act like a home button. Tap once to return to main screen, tap twice to pull up app switcher.

Haha, I do this exact same thing with... wait for it... a binder clip

Everyone's bashing science's track record, but let's not forget that, as athletic ability and equipment quality has improved dramatically over the last 50 years, so has science. So while I don't trust those cats that said the 4 minute mile would never be broken, I'm willling to trust the cats working their science

I can vouch for this. I alone eat celery in my household, and even just one thing of celery used to go bad on me every time. I now wrap it aluminum foil and it miraculously stays good for 2-3 weeks. A month? I don't know, it get's kinda brown and weird but either way, it works for a few weeks and that's good enough

Didn't work for me, after 2 tries.

If whatever you're making has a layer of visible fat floating at the surface, here's a way to get it out - it's messy but it works and it saved the Christmas gravy a few years ago.

Inspired by this post, I sought out to make one of these today. But the dollar store didn't have embroidery hoops so I improvised. I bought a spatter guard from the kitchen section, cut out the wire mesh and pinned the nylon down using Lifehacker's favourite multipurpose tool, the binder clip. 3 bucks, 10 minutes. I

This is brilliant. Thanks for posting this, it made my morning, and cheered me up after the "nothing happened" letdown that was 11-11-11 11:11:11

Having watched the preview now, I realize it's about someone trying to find the island from the book, not an adaptation of the book itself. Still... they clearly found a different island.

Mysterious Island (sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea, not Journey To The Center Of The Earth) is about some castaways on an island that build a nice home for themselves. There are some pirates, and an orangutan. There's a mysterious person on the island who turns out to be a character from 20KLUS. That's pretty

I have to wait around for an hour and a half at work, until the thingy is finished... so glad to have something interesting to watch!
