The first time that using a nuclear blast to close the leaking oil well was suggested the idea was universally panned. Now that we're on day 30-something (or is it 40-something?), and all the conventional techniques have failed, maybe it is time to collapse the well with this approach.

What do we have to lose? How much worse could that be than waiting until August to plug this thing? Under-sea nuclear tests were pretty popular for a while, so it's not like this has never been done before. (And apparently our soviet-era friends have done this a number of times in the past.) I'm surprised this hasn't been suggested more (in fact, any idea to just block/destroy the well). The conspiracy theorist in me wonders if they aren't trying to save the well so the initial investment isn't lost.

So it turns out you can't overdose on homeopathic medicine. Who knew?

I'm surprised she didn't think to just dilute it more. Diluting it another 1000 times should make it stronger, right? Isn't that how homeopathy works?

Staples has, what appears to be, a great deal on a Brother colour laser printer: $175 CDN (HL-3040CN if you're interested). To find out if this model was actually any good or not, I checked out the reviews on Amazon.com. 10 reviews, with one reviewer giving a single star...check it out.

I don't know what's funnier: the fact that he's doing a school project for his children, or that the school project involved printing 2,700 pages in 1 week.

Here's a tip for Steven: You're doing it wrong on both counts.

While I'm posting videos...check out this "portable phone" ad from 1990:


It seems so outlandish that it feels like a parody...what 20 years will do. When you're done laughing at that, take a look at this beauty. At 50lbs, I'd like to know what it's filled with.

Here's one I missed the first time around:


Ha!
