They don't work. They float.

We'd explore more if the politicians could figure out how to make money on it. As it stands, screwing with the people is much more lucrative.

French fries and benevolent don't really seem to go together.

The brick isn't an online store. It's a store that has a web site. It's Canadian and huge. Kinda like kmart or sears. They're everywhere in Canada.

Yeah they don't think they can be un-encrypted. On the other hand, they didn't think they'd be stolen either.

Seems Obama's advisers are his worst enemy.

Most movies mix it. Take battlefield earth. Horrendous movie, phenomenal book. Then you have the E. E. Doc Smith novels. Brilliantly done but most won't get it at all.

Not the first series with kirk.

I remember years ago when you wanted a drivers license you actually had to learn how to drive a car. Now all you have to do is learn how to point it in the direction you want to go.

The only thing mentioned that's true sci-fi would be star trek. The others are either sci-fantasy or border on it.

Sure it will. But that's if you know how to wash your hands in the first place. Most just throw a dab of soap on them, rub and 3 seconds later rinse. Might wash some bacteria off but if it doesn't... it's still there. Not to mention under the fingernails where you'd need a brush to scrub.

Still the most potent anti-biotic on the planet is plain old penicillin. And no, Amoxycillin and all its derivatives aren't the same and aren't better. UNLESS you are allergic to penicillin.
