The Mountain You See in This Picture Is a Mirage

Comment in Images (4 diggs, 0 replies) - on 02/08/2008
The explanation is slightly wrong, but it's impressive nonetheless. Basically the site says that you're seeing an image of the mountain reflected off a layer of air/atmosphere so that it's visible when it normally wouldn't be. Normally the mountain woul … (see comment)

the article text: Sex researchers are peculiar beasts. Armed with their tape measures, clipboards, surveys, and hidden cameras, they seek to provide a peephole from which to scrutinize that most private of spheres, human sexuality. What's most surpris … (see comment)

The Story of a Man With Astonishing Mental Abilities

it's funny that if you listen to what he says when he recites pi, he messes it up about 10 digits in and they just ignore it. He starts off "14159265358" then it's all wrong from there. wtf? (see comment)

Comment in News (33 diggs, 2 replies) - on 10/23/2007
What's even worse is that what might be legal today could be illegal tomorrow. Take a 16 & 17 year old where the 17 year old turns 18. What happens then? Oh, well it was okay for you to have sex yesterday, but it's not today. (see comment)

New Simple Tower Defense Game

Comment in News (1 digg, 0 replies) - on 09/20/2007

The perpetual myth of free energy

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - on 07/10/2007
Why is he dug down? He's exactly right. Any device that uses magnets to propel itself can not be considered perpetual motion - the magnets will eventually die out. As to how to charge a magnet - place it in another stronger magnetic field - the magneti … (see comment)

Same problem as the old one - you HAVE to just get interest upgrades to get a good score... And you shouldn't be able to get a top 10 score (300,000) your first time playing... (see comment)
