No such a difficult problem: "Barkeep, beer me!" Do they know when you've had enough? And how well do they handle a belligerent drunk?

Yes, I did specifically mean that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_flora#Acquisition_of_gut_flora_in_human_infants

I thought that this was well-established by now: It's so that the newborn can pick up some of his/her mother's digestive-tract bacteria. They need 'em.

Agreed. And it only takes a minute ore two to set up.

Lest someone not chase the links down, there's a useful 'HOWTO: EFFECTIVELY ARGUE AGAINST INTERNET CENSORSHIP IDEAS linked-to in the TFL at http://rys.io/en/94 "You forgot Poland" just might take on a new meaning.

Thank you - I came here to say this. While we're bashing Mr. Forbes for bellowing loudly to the world his technical ignorance of math and computers, let me quote from the piece: "When you buy a pound of hamburger you expect to get 16 ounces of meat." Well, I don't know where he buys his hamburger (or gets a minion to do so), but when I buy hamburger, I KNOW that it's not 100% meat... According to the Wiki page on 'Ground Beef', it's "Meat content 2.1% to 14.8% (median, 12.1%)". I guess his gross mis-overestimation of how much of hamburger is meat draws a convenient (okay, "snarky") analogy to the amount of actual information and considered opinion in Mr. Forbes's opinion pieve vs. how much he thinks there is in there...

Cliffs generally are places where a lot of wind gets blown about. They probably are good places to install wind turbines. Bonus..we could use the electricity they generate to electrocute politicians.

If the control group is made of up of the same strain of rats, then the findings are significant. Very significant.

It's important to mention that the ballots were redesigned after the 1995 referendum so that the voter's choice is clear and unambiguous. See here: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bc/2011_ballot.jpg/800px-2011_ballot.jpg Mark one of the circles only (an X, fill the circle in, whatever), and it's OK. Mark more than one, the ballot is spoiled. In addition, by law, each citizen gets four continuous hours to vote. That is, somewhere in the twelve hours that the polls are open, your employer has to schedule you so that you can get four uninterrupted hours to vote. So if you local poll open times are 8:30 am - 8:30 pm, and your work schedule is 9:00 am to 6:00 PM, your employer MUST either start your day at 12:30 PM, or end it at 4:30 PM. In all the voting I've done in Canada, the whole process, from the time I've walked into a polling station to the time I've walked out, has seldom been longer than half and hour and never longer than an hour. No, I've never had to queue outside.
