Has anyone seen this? Both France and Australia are developing a car that runs on compressed air......right... Air Car French Air Car Aussie Air Car :confused:

No jokes or punchlines, which is fine. and i understand his dry humor, but its not funny. its very forced, like some of colbert's humor. altho at times it seems colbert pulls out of that shit and shows genuine emotion instead of that apathetic demeanor.

Hello Bored and having morbid thoughts about if I died today what would I want on my tombstone. Hey, most times people leave it up to those left behind to come up with something. So why not write your own when alive. For me I think this will suffice. 'Was here, didn't really hurt anyone, and manged to provide a fun laughs. Now split for parts unknown. However for my eulogy, think i'll write that too. And lie my ass off about my whole life, I'm dead what do I care, figure why not have fun with it. So what do you want on your tombstone?

Recently there has been an outbreak of keylogger viruses getting into peoples computers. I play an online game (world of warcraft) and many players have lost their accounts becuase of it. What happens is someone will post a link to a site where a keylogger will be downloaded. Then the next time you try to log into a game it steals your account info. Just wanted to let people to know that they should be wary of things like this. some more info can be found here: http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=14714952&pageNo=1&sid=1

Ok everyone probably already knows the rules but here they are: Make a wish. ex: I wish i had a big bag of peanuts. The next poster corrupts the wish: Granted but you now have a severe peanut allergy. ok i will start. I wish that none of my teachers would assign homework this school year.

We have a thread on this on the Astronomy board already, but I thought it interesting enough to go ahead and mention it here. The ESA is crashing its SMART-1 probe into the lunar surface in a dark region of the moon facing the Earth, tomorrow night (Saturday night) at 10:41pm Pacific, 1:41am Eastern time. The crash supposedly will produce enough light to see it by if you're watching at the right moment. (Ironically the crash will only be visible here in the Americas -- Europeans won't get to see it!)

I'm not really sure how to begin this post... I thought I was purchasing something worth thousands of dollars, but I just realized that I'm not going to get it. I guess I could have written a long and angry post about it, but I don't think anyone here would benefit from hearing me ramble about something that doesn't affect them. Besides, I should be used to it by now. No matter what I try to do, everything just fails. Nothing ever works out for me, and I just end up losing my money. I'd like to think that I could be someone successful, but I just keep falling for scams. I've tried to start several online companies throughout my entire life, but all of them fa…

Has anyone here read it? What did you think of it?

I'm posting this here because it doesn't strictly fit into any particular category. I came across this article whilst browsing and found it interesting. http://www.guardian.co.uk/life/badscience/story/0,12980,1564369,00.html

We have not had one of these threads for a while... The game is easy: find a pithy, funny quote from another forum member from waaay back when, one so old the person who said it forgot they ever posted something so funny.

Encouraged by the current Global Warming crisis, I am in need of a partner for an eco-friendly energy saving gadget I have developed. I have designed all the electrical circuitry required and a prototype is in progress. However, I have no idea about making the mechanical parts more efficient. I intend to enter this gadget for a development and commercialisation award by Powergen-energylab.co.uk, currently on offer to the finalists of a competition based on energy saving ideas. The award is £50,000 plus expert advice/assistance in developing the new product. If you can help design the effficient mechanical parts for the project, please let me know asap.

Guys! Actually we have a science exhibiton in our school. Plz help me to create my own model or anything that will surprize others. Actually, i have an idea of making a "Laser". Could anyone help me by saying the steps to create a cheap and cool laser and any experiment related to laser. So that i will make a laser and also associate an experiment with it! Thanks in advance! You guys are really cool! I like this forum

I've been speaking to a few women at work, and I've also heard from friends that their female colleagues refuse to have a poo at work. Obviously there's probably plenty of women who are quite comforable with this, but from my own gathering of data, not one will have a poo at work. I just find this really irrational, we're all human, why are the women I've spoken to and heard about, feel uncomfortable doing their business at work. (no pun intended) The only response I've had is...'no, it just doesn't feel right' and 'I don't know, I think a lot of women are the same.'

I`ve no idea what made me think about this, but has anyone else noticed that most all doors into a house opens Inwards, I can`t think of any where they open Outwards, except for caravans and maybe mobile homes etc... is there actualy a Reason for this? secondly, having doors that open outwards would be a much more secure, it`s harder to PULL a door off than it is to kick it in or ram it. any ideas?

Can I be arsed to write part two of "Sophisticated Propaganda is Still Propaganda"? The fate of free thought lies in your hands! Oh lordy.

I was viewing the Members Online and saw that there was a bot going to something called OpenSci. I decided to find out what it is and went to opensci.net. The page didn't give out much information, but it says it's part of the Science Forums Network, and it shows recent posts in the forums and who's online. So what's OpenSci and why don't I know about it? Thanks.

Can someone tell me what "False Color" means when NASA describes some of the pictures they take of space. It looks like Real Color to me!

Our class is creating(umm...no making) a T-shirt... We just don't know what quote or line to give to our T-Shirt. We're doing mechanical engineering in the third year(<=year irrelevant) Any of you creative guys care to help with giving a good line...

I have owned the domain http://www.bluealan.com for many years. I've used it for many things, including a video game web site and a web site developing company. Now, the web site just sits on a park server because I can't think of any good ways to use it. A search for "BlueAlan" on Google shows that the name seems to be quite popular in Japanese, Chinese, or some other language. There are over 2,000 web pages that contain the word "BlueAlan" and none of them existed when I first bought the domain. I can't read the language, but does anyone know why the name seems to be so popular? Do you think the name's sudden popularity will make my domain valuable?
