@Xenobreaker: I read the "Elegant Universe" twice midway thru high school. Loved it. It's been a while, although I've seen the Nova series as well and never get sick of it. That was the first book I read that didn't try to censor the concepts, instead just spoon fed the complicated theories, and Brian Green does…

@tomsomething: And, I heard that when you try to travel thru time, just when you're about to do it, the universe makes you sh*t in your pants. So ultimately you just poop in your pants and nothing really changes except for everyone laughing at you.

@MarcusMaximus: Nobody really knows... except Jim Henson. Nevermind the url title; I'm not sending you out to some freaky garbage... if you visit and search [www.sweatpantserection.com], you will find an over-the-top third-party review and commentary from a hilarious girl that had my rollin'. I wanted to post the…

Aw no credit to your boy @xzackly001: for posting in the other article?

Do you eat the parsely, or do you not eat the parsely? I don't know what to do and it's ruining what would otherwise be a perfect experience. #baconsunrise

@user_21938: Well, that's what I was getting at, thank you. But I didn't want to comment beyond the wiki article since, as I said, I didn't want to speculate further than those engineers already (likely) have. #spaceelevator

@Mike Ellis: You are correct that the centre of mass dictates the moment of inertia. However when you change the centre of mass with respect to the counterweight by adding the mass of the elevator, the angular momentum of the counterweight changes with respect to the earth (if you look at earth as the primary…

@burningsensation: Read thru it this time. I see the Earth, a counterweight and an elevator. What am I missing?

@tomsomething: Looking at the concept on wikipedia, there are some major problems with it. And before I go on, I'm not pretending that I can offer any solutions that they haven't already racked their prize-winning brains for. First, a simple counterweight will not remain geostationary as an elevator ascends. Even…

"Beckend system software error" sounds like "We honestly just don't have a T-Mobile below us to blame it on, metaphorically speaking - we are just awful."

@iKhaos: I dunno man, I recall my freshman year roommate and I (still great friends - both moved to Cali) having volume struggles between our music. The worst it got was, "Wow you're a fk'ing asshole." I didn't ever consider hurting him more than the occasional, well maybe more often than occasional, exchange of…

Double add.

I'm sorry, but this is pretty genius. Mostly because I don't have the talent to create it, and more so because I have a deep respect for these men, sans the incessant indulgence of wacky weed. It's more than a fantastic way to honor the memory of not just an influential scientist, and Carl Sagan is more than the few…

@bustedchain: I'm glad to have you with me on the sarcasm train. It is a relief after the article was reposted below me several times, in case I missed the one above.

@dysan819: I say, just let 'em all hang out. #sleepingbustupbra

is this one of those "no harm no foul" situations?

@philibuster: The trick is to put all the weight onto your shoulders and back and take your legs completely out of the picture.

FIRST of all. Shame on this invention. Seriously. Shame on it. Secondly, and more disturbing, the hook in the box of the first picture appears like a strap-on for the girl in the box behind it. Nice.

@Adam: Really? I think in the end, that makes him even more badass, for making that choice before he even begins; to be carried over what would be what would be the high-rise I work in. Kudos. I don't know what "kudos" are, but if you have some, I propose giving them all to him.

Holy f*ck balls. He wins, I lose. At some point, and thank God he held on, he said "Well, it was pretty sweet living... goodbye world..."
