Yes, but since they are Japanese robots, they will still require an H1B visa to work in the fields of California.

I thought maybe I misread the title of this post. I was hoping to get my fix of crack cocaine from the bacteria. I guess that discovery will have to wait.

Sure, but also take a look at the top researchers in American schools. They are Chinese, Indian, and Russian. Whats troubling is the lack of American kids doing the research these days. Many of the universities in China and India are ultra-competitive, those students have a lot more competition being that their countries only contain over 2.5 billion people combined. You may laugh about how India churns out all those undergrads with research skills, but you probably didn't laugh when your job was sent overseas to somebody who can do the same work cheaper.

America needs to invest in its education on ALL LEVELS, or the gap between the educated and the ignorant will continue growing and the USA is going to be on the losing end of that battle.

As other countries invest in education, we war monger and fund political campaigns. Our GDP should be spent on research, and education - not on war, and not on foreign oil. That is the only way to ensure long-term financial solvency in the US. Take for example the great space race of the 1960s, when Kennedy challenged this nation to reach for the moon. We educated ourselves and built up US industry and improved our GDP. And then we got to the moon, and became complacent. We need a new challenge for the 21st century. If Obama challenged the US to become energy sufficient - to not rely on foreign sources of energy, and backed that up with providing money for research to make the next generation technology today's technology not only would we invest in our future with education, but provide us with the cost savings in energy to actually bring down the national debt.

Meanwhile the ice caps are melting and congress is too full of itself to even come up with a climate bill. For shame on us, we should all look to India and China for inspiration, not incompetency.

Well I read that Facebook's Saudi Arabian servers kept crashing when people searched for the name Mohammed, so its probably for the best.

When celebrities start having extreme health problems from spending too much time doing coke in zero-g. We'll just call this ship the LiLo express...

I don't know if the whole plane needs to be transparent, but I'd settle for transparent doors on the lavatories and cockpit. Oh boy do I love the word cockpit.

Ok, now that you have a huge football field sized balloon, why not make the outside surface sticky and collect other bits of space junk on the way to the burn?

Well, at the end he does say "I'm a horrible father" so it must be true by his own admission

I told my Doctor that my wife gave me gonorrhea. He gave himself a shot!

well, it did afterwards die a long, slow painful death.

My phone had fallen into the sewer before in my work as a sanitary sewer inspector, but once it took over 10 minutes before it got pulled out of the water/muck. I thought it was dead, but after a week of drying out, I popped the battery in and it was alive and running fine.
