Pigeon Carries Data 25 Times Faster Than South Africa's Telkom

Regarding the data caps, I’d believe it – Australia’s are equally ridiculous.

Terror suspect was failed Idol

As someone who spent 14 years on the sub-continent I can tell you it is a word that is used, both in Bengali and in English, to describe the clothing that the possibly not so good doctor was wearing. It is also known as a kurta.

Don’t believe me, scroll down this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panjabi.

4Chan expose trashcan kitten lady

From what I understand they found the cat lady independently of the RSPCA – just like they tracked down Balloon Boy’s parents so they could deliver pizzas to his house when the news cameras were rolling.

Vortex Cannon Versus Houses Of Straw, Sticks and Bricks

Nine days is only mostly dead, not completely dead…

Pit bulls save chihuahua from coyote

Actually that line was saying that dog fighting did that.

God seems to also not be a fan of Justin Bieber [Westboro Baptist Church]

That is a quote taken from the site of the Westboro Baptist Church. We don’t subscribe to their beliefs – the quote was simply included to illustrate their craziness.

God seems to also not be a fan of Justin Bieber [Westboro Baptist Church]

Like I said, I don’t follow – did you read the article – or just the title. I don’t think either Bieber or the President was put down by the article.

tattoo-11

No, she actually asked for the tattoos and then lied and said the tattooist had made a mistake because her dad was mad.

Pit bulls save chihuahua from coyote

Anon – are you actually defending dog fighting? That is what that sentence described.

Pop-up Garage Stows Your Car Safely Underground

I’ve seen similar systems here in Japan, it usually takes just a minute or two.

World's Strongest Ale is Expensive, Served in Animal Carcasses

For the record, the animals were not killed for the purpose of being stuffed. It seems they died of natural or accidental (roadkill) causes.

Airport Employee May Have Used Body Scanner To Peep Beneath Female Co-workers Clothes

Thanks Jo – after considering the information on the press complaints website, we decided to pull the story. Unfortunately, inaccuracies tend to spread when major publishers fail to attribute or falsely attribute their sources.

Spectacular Lego Bugatti Veyron Has Working Transmission, Brakes and Suspension

If you don’t know Lego Technic when you see it then, you sir, are the noob.

Rescued monkey slaughters farmer's chickens

While I am a big fan of eating scary meats – monkey is off the menu for me – too many scary prion diseases around for me to want to tempt fate anymore than I already do.

Flying car gets FAA approval

I get the impression that you are still smarting from that 4-1 hiding that the Germans gave your team.

Playing Half-Life With a Real Gun

Yes, thank you, that has been established. Presumably licensing issues and overenthusiastic copyright lawyers are the reason for using a free-use flash game.

Blowing a bubble earns jail time

When you get down to the nuts and bolts of “contempt” it is about showing disrespect to the Judge and the Court. Blowing a bubble at someone might not seem that big of a deal but it is extremely disrespectful.

A few days in the big house ought to teach Mr. Zukanovic some manners. Perhaps they can arrange a haircut for him while he is there?

Matador's cowardice lands him in litigation

Apparently in Mexico breach of contract is treated as a criminal matter.

Yeah, but can you drive it a hundred miles just as quickly?

Bomb-proof Wallpaper Stronger Than Walls

@ab – I take it you are an engineer… Actually, if you have a rudimentary understanding of the physics of explosions you will know that bombs, particularly the improvised explosive devices favored in places like Iraq, do most of their damage with shrapnel.

During an explosion, you obviously get heat – a regular wall can stop that; you get the actual force of the blast (which can be simulated by a wrecking ball); and you get flying projectiles. This wallpaper will protect from the last two. Obviously it won’t help a whole lot if you get a huge truck bomb going off right outside a small building, but that force diminishes significantly as proximity decreases.

Before labeling a cool idea stupid, why not take a basic physics class and learn about some of the principles involved?

Secret Signals from Voyager 2?

It appears that aliens got to R M Walker’s message before he could get it finished.

Secret Signals from Voyager 2?

Thanks for picking up that typo Crapalation – it has been fixed.
