I've done this with regular coke. No nutella though. Any explanation I've read of this doesn't depend on the chemical nature of the ingredients, it's that the slightly pitted surface of the mentos gives a place for the tiny carbon dioxide molecules to gather until they are big enough (still very small) to erupt. …

but it's not an iq test, it's not designed to be one. if companies want applicants o take an iq test, then just give them an iq test. or tell ppl to go out and pay to take one themselves. whatever.

Any chance that Nintendo could re image its self as the games for non gamers company? By this I mean that many/ most console games seem to be targeted at people who like to shoot, smash or blow up things. Even if there is problem solving involved, if you want to move forward in the puzzle, you have to fight something.…

Nice boobs peasant lady. Way to not be malnourished or have lost some muscle tone after nursing the 5 kids you probably would have had by that age during this historical time period.

"Not looking to date anyone please do not insist." <—- a line from his website. I'll see what I can do to accommodate his wishes.

um cool? but also, how much does the boss make? Any cost saving opportunities there?

well they didn't. get away with it.

Yes but it's DC. SO in a yr they will "reboot" the character and make her boobs bigger than her head and yet still have them so perky they look like a collar up around her neck, her waist thinner than her leg, and her butt to match her her boobs. She will wear a swimsuit if it is cold out and less when it is not. …

um but. what's the source of payment for this? So much of my tax $ get spent on $hit (watch the documentary "Nimitz" about a US air craft carrier, much of which I didn't mind but then there are the parts with the thrown out food and the embroidered jackets...) that I don't really object to gender reassignment, but I…

Next for Ms. Croft.....a sports bra perhaps?

and I said "If you like this I get why and don't think you are stupid, but I am done. 6/19/12 8:27am" done now.

wow. never been insulted at nearly a year after a posting. Just going thru your io9 backlog? wow again. lotsa good stuff happened this past year, you are goign to have a blast! And I did say the *remaking* of disney princesses, i.e. drawn in other contexts, costumes, trying to eliminate the gender sterotypes,…

I want an episode in which the Doctor meets and has a one off adventure with a young Rory's dad.

huh. I am a girl and I am dead inside, yet I still liked Avengers. Go figure, outliers r us.

Then what do you call someone of that time who wasn't an ahole?

When a lion takes over a pride it kills all the young. Its functional because they probably aren't his anyways and drives the females into heat. I bet ppl are thinking of that kind of evolutionary "why" when they say stuff like that. Our hormonal responses go way back in the family tree.

oh me too! but then I've known alot of ppl so most names have a negative association for me. Basically you can be named Ryan for me to not cringe away.

ok, you're right. still it was nice to meet so many ppl, who happened to be male, who could keep up with my geek.

Wow. Just went to my 1st dragoncon, by my female self, and dressed up a bit. First, didn't know my presence and dressing (as a character I love, who is fully clothed) could be taken as a political statement. Second, thank you multiple random guys, some guys there with their dads for having geek conversations with…

When I find out someone is named Brad, my immediate reaction is pity. Or I expect it will be as I have yet to meet a real person with that name.
