BigMac? Heck, we've got us sumptn pemmican in fall, and do icefishin' in January - it's just a bit nippy up here. Nuttin' for the wusses south of Mackinaw!

...meaning it's too friggin' cold for a nude drinking reserve!

You know what? Most people would benefit turing off other brain functions when they're doing one thing! The whole 'nowadays-we-must-multitask' thing is baloney. We can't really multitask, without compromising quality of the task in question (just watch someone being on the phone AND driving). You are, in a way, so…

Simple: Keep your eyes open, and press the button in the right moment.

Problem is that during the time it takes you to set up this elaborate rig you'll be sooo eaten alive...

Tractor beams are outdated. It's been shown that the headlights of a John Deere aren't any better than aftermarket lights you can buy at AutoZone, or the like. And it's a terrible chore to get one of them tractors into the space shuttle.

...and also: they could inadvertently shine that laser on passing alien spaceships - which has been declared a felony by the interplanetary council. So - no lasers.

Are notifications only for 'signed-up' members? If so - is there any other way to sign up except through facebook or twitter? I'm not on either one, and don't plan to change that...

That's certainly true - but, at the same time, what just impresses me more are those 'single shots' which capture what Cartier Bresson called the 'moment decisive'. Not before, not after, but just THAT moment.

Well, spying out from other nations how to build stuff takes its time...

Out of curiosity I went to Shayamalan's website and got sucked into it. Now I'm scared.

...also called p0rn glasses.

Since the French like to ban foreign words, I strongly suspect this has to do with language; if it was called 'livre d'visage', or 'gazouiller', there'd be no problem...

Nice hack! Side note: it always amazes me to no end how quickly 'disabled, elderly, or pregnant' individuals are mentioned in one breath. Is elderly the same category as disabled? Or are pregnant women similar to elderly?

What about the Germans? We luv' them high speed trains, and with many connections it's a great alternative to flying - the train gets you in the city center right away, where flying usually requires you to take a lengthy (and expensive) commute from the airport into the city.

Famous last words: "shoot - my quadropter ran out of juice and landed near that tree over there, let me just run over there and get it.... here it is. Why is that lion staring at me?"

Well, they often contribute to being misunderstood - when I have to do with engineers, it always strikes how hard it seems to be for them to put themselves in non-engineers' shoes, and communicate in a way that help the 'mere mortals' to understand some complex issue.

You realize that you'll be dead, mutilated beyond recognition and buried in a shallow grave in no time, BECAUSE someone wanted all these gadgets of yours...

I also promptly read 'Fleshlight-MP3 player' - oh Gawker, what have you done to me?

No, no - it's in Greece, and therefore it's really unfinished! Given their economy, what should they pay it with?
