. . . the rest is up to your writing capability . . . an excellent submission could also be reused for an Ig Nobel . . .

If you apply for a grant to study penguin breeding grounds . . . you won't get it approved.

If you apply for a grant to study penguin breeding grounds . . . affected by global climate change . . . you can have all the money you want.

"I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent's youth and inexperience" -- Ronald Reagan

Listen, this isn't an argument . . .

The Soyuz can still take you into space. The Space Shuttle can't.

That's infinitely more reliable.

. . . and some code to fiddle with . . .

It depends on where you jam them.

That company could have made a fortune selling Google Glass jammers. But methinks some other dubious company will step up to the plate . . . for a while, anyway, until the FCC catches them, as well.

It will be like the illegal drug market . . . as long as someone wants to buy one, someone will be selling them . . .

"I think we should tax foreigners living abroad!" -- Monty Python

"The art of taxation is like plucking a live goose for feathers for a pillow. You want to get the maximum amount of feathers, with the minimum amount of fuss." -- The Economist.

An ancient Roman poet was asked, "What taxes do you think should be collected?" His answer: "Those that someone else pays."

Taxes is one thing that humanity will never be able to get right. We all seem to agree that someone needs to pay taxes . . . but other than that the ideas spread out in all directions of an Abstract Hilbert Space. And despite our best intentions that everyone only pay their "fair share" of taxes . . . there are always some unforeseen consequences that end up screwing someone who can't afford it.

Take the infamous US luxury tax. Sailboats are expensive toys for the rich, as well as luxury cars. So it should be fair to put a high tax on them . . .

. . . but a bunch of poor sailboat carpenters are now unemployed, because nobody wants to buy a new boat. Oh, and if you need a wheelchair device for your car? Hey, that's a luxury price car!

So . . . some folks have been proudly posting that the gas taxes are much higher in their countries. They don't seem to mind paying high gas taxes. So why doesn't the US put a tax on gas sold in foreign countries . . . ? It can't get any worse than our current foreign policy mess . . .

Actually, wasn't the USA founded by anti-tax groups . . . ?

Yes, the revolution taxes its children, indeed. It doesn't eat them any more.

. . . just wait until someone comes up with an "Internet of Things Cloud" . . . or should it be a "Cloud of Internet Things" . . . ?

. . . unfortunately, the receivers' disk have also crashed.

It should be pretty obvious to everyone now. The IRS is not going help the investigation. If fact, they are obstructing it.

I'm thinking we'll find that out really soon, as desperate parents buy the drug on the black market, and try it out on their kids.

. . . not bad, for an Italian car!

In case you don't know, Chrysler is owned by Fiat.
