Do want. I hope they film people's reactions when they take that thing out. :)

We eat (and drink and smoke) things that kill us too, you know. In fact since we know what they do to us, I'd say that we're the dumber species.

"Blog action day" followed by "is climate change real"? Only in America.

Liking the sweet (nnnggh, "candy") dispenser. :)

I've always felt that the big problem with Windows isn't Windows, but rather what PC manufacturers do with it. Crimes like shovelling crap on and pretending that Vista can run respectably on cheapo desktops with 256MB of memory come to mind!

Isn’t Charlie Brooker known as the Guardian’s most die-hard anti-mac columnists, famous for being determined to badmouth the OS and its users with utter disregard for any actual information for or against?

Er, no. I've been reading his column for years and he's never even mentioned them before.

As I understand it, quantum theory is that a particle doesn't exist at a single location until it has to interact with another, not specifically until it is measured by a person. It just happens to be true that the only way to detect an object's presence is to bounce something off it.

Since the particles within a solid mass like a cat (or indeed a virus) are always interacting with each other, they would either never enter a superposition, or if they did, would do so individually and not stay that way for long.

But hey, maybe I've got it all wrong. The experimenters seem to think so.

I somehow doubt that creating jet fuel from seawater is an efficient process, Edward...

£500 = $800, BTW.

£500 for a duck with a broken leg? Assuming they have a joint account, I wonder what her husband makes of all this.

They're all better than the London 2012 design.

These are the exact words I was going to type.

at the six-to-25 millimeter range

Erm, is that not .6 to 2.5 centimetres? Hardly nano yet, is it?

What brakes?

People in different parts of the world eating different food is 'neat'? We must be talking about McDonalds! :P

Phew. I thought he wanted to outlaw babies when I read the title.

Why would anyone want to prat about like this? Those people sound so smug and smart-arsed.

"Hey guys, I'll pretend to do something bad when I'm not and see how the grown-ups react! It'll be SO funny when they realise!"

(Having written that, I've realised that they're likely getting money from the "news" networks for airing their footage.)
