I know this is really geeky. Someone posted the dimensions of the actual energy domes:

Dimensions for the Energy Domes (a.k.a. Flowerpot Hats) from Klilin:

This taken from a hat I caught at a concert:
material-thin plastic (vacu-formed), crimson red
form-4layer slightly conical crossection stack
base-9.3/8 tapers to 8.5/8 , 1.3/4 tall
next-7.1/2 tapers to 7 , 1.3/4 tall
next-5.5/8 tapers to 5 , 1.1/4 tall
top- 3.3/4 tapers to 3.1/2 , 3/4 tall
total height-5
logo on top-

EV
D O

letter size-3/4
top embossed 3/64
all dimensions in inches

By the way, the domes sold through the fan club are not the same as the ones actually worn by DEVO - DEVO's domes are bigger and don't have the letters on top.

Umm..."think stream of viscous fluid?" :)

Fascinating. Amazing how high-speed cameras put phenomena down to our speed so we can observe it. I wonder how many small processes go unnoticed because they're outside of our reach in being too small, too fast, too large, etc...

"The mayor would like to thank Torch 'em Up Inc. for their generous donation of flamethrowers this Easter egg hunt."

"...and most importantly, your tax dollars are at work."

"No one expected the massive popularity of indoor smoke signaling...."

"The city council would like to congratulate the anarchic landscape architects for their reshaping of Bluffton...."

I second the Friedrich Hayek.

Close parodies (or variants?) of the "We are happy to Serve You" logos are featured prominently in Laurie Anderson's public service announcements.

Here are a couple:
Women and Money
"I Hate Television"

Bravo! Great post!

Sometimes a good micro brew/home brew beats an upscale beer due to the freshness alone. Wait too long and even the best beers taste like wet cardboard.

Avoid the fluorescent light skunk by buying your six-packs packed in cardboard.

I've always wanted a kitchen samurai.

Hahaha! I'll keep this strip in mind next time I visit Daytona, FL. That place is NASCAR Disneyland...

Plus, as has been mentioned before, we don't know the circumstances of the patient's and sister's relationship. Since the sister had declined to comment in the story, we're only getting one side of the story.

What worries me more is how the brother is dealing with the possibility of him dying. I'm by no way trivializing his grief and condition, but why can't he not put the blame on others for his illness?

Some more wikipedia-age:

"All four whale sharks were imported from Taiwan, where whale sharks are dubbed as Tofu sharks because of the taste and texture of the flesh."

Blubbery may not be quite the texture, but whale sharks make me crave daifukumochi.

Peel slowly and see...

Space only gets weirder and weirder!
