Really? "Lived to tell about it."? Methinks you have far too little comprehension about how radioactivity works, particularly when it is exposed to the elements and time.

Most places around Chernobyl NPP are about as safe as you get if you're visiting for short periods, and almost nobody is there for long periods…

Shock diamonds are so beautiful. :')

I do hope the bike wasn't spilling fluids into that river.

I am not disappointed in this response. :D

Boston owes the rest of our blessed baseball nation an apology for breeding and feeding cavemen like him. Seriously, just like Johnny Damon, we take cavemen and turn them into men here. (Note: Possible exceptions include Arod, Roger Clemens, and David Wells.)

Someone should put this guy and John Rocker on a rocket into…

"We may catch a break and that blizzard's gonna blow right by us. All of this moisture coming up out of the south by midday is probably gonna push on to the east of us and at high altitudes it's gonna crystallize and probably give us what we call snow. Probably will be some accumulation but here in Punxsutawney our…

For Sale: Home in Russia, 3br, 2ba, attached garage. CHEAP! Everything must (will!) go!

There's no way this would pass muster for the safety requirements for seats. These things are a one way ticket to whiplash just on a hard landing, nevermind what'd actually happen in a crash. The seats on that plane that crashed at the SFO airport were credited with saving a lot of lives, regardless of how…

6'2" and JetBlue seated me comfortably - or at least it used to, anyway, dunno how that'll be with the changes now. Of course, I usually opted for the extra leg room anyway.

I love these little bush hopper planes.

Giant cockroaches. Like, seriously, how can anyone even entertain eating something that looks like that. I hope I never end up on a deserted island. I'm allergic to coconut and grossed out by all seafood that isn't fish. I'll eat a coconut just to commit suicide. :P

My response? WEEEEEE!!!

"The Soviet Union. A hellscape where women don't run the risk of losing their jobs over their sexual practices."

Unless they're lesbians.

You mean the Hubble's second mirror... after the one they built wrong? ;)

Good, stay there. Less demand for housing in NYC, cheaper rent for me. :P

The USAF was the only branch I ever seriously considered signing up for, and I'm so thankful that I didn't. Everything from the ridiculousness that is the F-35 (and even to a lesser extent the problems of the F-22 - particularly as compared to the YF-23), to the crazy right-wing Christians who appear to have taken…

I was going to make the exact same quote.

Nothing in the world is so beautiful, if you ask me. I'd have died to end up flying this baby.

Dear Giz - Consider hiring writers who actually understand tech to write about tech. It's not Doomsday. Give that about 3-6 months.

For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.
