Oh Japan, is there anything you won't do?

I'm waiting for elderly tentacle porn, myself.

This can be done in a much simpler way--there was a guy who had a small magnet encased in a plastic case which allowed some room for it to move. He then implanted it into his finger. He could detect live wires (even the frequency of electricity running in the wire, as well as a range of other EM phenomena.

Pretty cool.

I certainly wouldn't have expected a concrete fence to be articulated like that so that you could slide stuff like that down.

Kids do stupid stuff all the time. I know I did plenty of stuff when I was in junior high/high school that could have gotten me sent to prison. You can't really blame them, they just have to learn. I guarantee you that that boy has learned his lesson.

Hey, don't knock it till you try it. A neighbor of mine was into canning meat, and it was delicious. Better than most of the slop I could cook up with fresh meat.

Who says highway interchanges are mundane? I always thought that they were beautiful, indeed, they are certain to be what are civilization is judged by thousands of years in the future, just like the romans are known for their aqueducts and the Egyptians for their pyramids.

They just had them on to feel sexy. The fact that they decided to rob a store was coincidence.

They will all fall prey to the disease. All cavendish bananas are genetically identical--like clones, so there is no genetic diversity, and thus possibility for immunity in some small area, so there is no way to repopulate with resistant bananas. This is the same thing that happened back in the 60's, as mentioned in the article. Banana growers have known that this would be a problem since then, but they did nothing to prevent it. We'll just all have to switch to a new, likely less tasty variety.

lolwut

I think it is probably just more effective than current technology.

I wonder how long until they make a passenger version of this?

Hell, that wouldn't make too bad of a flying car. It did look pretty graceful.

If you price oil in terms of gold, it is actually a bit cheaper now than it was three years ago (it's been in a slow but steady decline).

The ONLY reason gas is so expensive now is because our government has been printing money like there's no tomorrow to pay for its wars and illegal surveillance programs, among other things.

If you convert your savings to gold or silver, you won't have to worry about food or gas inflation, since precious metals are inflation-proof.

Actually, the US is about in the middle as far a gas prices are concerned. The "rest of the world" (meaning Europe) pays much more than we do because they tax gas a lot more than we do. They also have public transit systems that work for most people, unlike here.

One interesting think to note is that in real terms, oil is actually slightly less expensive now than it has been in the last decade. It only looks like more because the dollar is falling so fast. Take a look at oil priced in gold, and you'll see what I mean.

Here's a good article on the subject, with graphs to back up my point:

Get ready folks. All this inflation is going to start hitting manufactured goods soon, once industry can no longer absorb the shortfalls. We're in for a major contraction, and it's all due to the inflationary policies of our wonderful print-and-spend government (Republicans don't want to tax, but they steal your money by decreasing it's value--all they have to do is hit a button, and your dollars are diluted).

It's a big mess. I'm putting my money into hard commodities.

Remember kids, government is the greatest enemy of free men.

He did it for the lulz.

I paid some bills and bought silver bullion with the rest.

Recession's here, Depression's coming, Total Collapse is on the horizon.
