What you want is a closed loop. For hydroponic gardens, which is what you'd be using in space, tilapia are an excellent source of both protein and fertilizer. That's why tilapia are so often used in aquaculture - in an environment like a rice paddy, they are part of a symbiotic relationship.

Plus, it's a lot tastier than reconstituted soy mush.

Oh right, this joke doesn't work on the internet. Thanks for trying, though.

Well yeah, but you could make it 100x thicker and all that debris whizzing around would still poke holes in it. This way, it's light enough to be a.) cheap to launch and b.) actually efficient enough at harnessing the solar "wind" to move its mass.

FTFA: "In 2008, a London wall bearing one of his stencils was said to have sold on eBay for almost $500,000."

It's not actually priceless, then. Besides, the guy's still alive, and might even have the stencils, still.

And you thought being pulled over for DWB was a pain... it's got nothing on FWN.

What happens when you layer them? I mean, if you overlap a bunch of these invisibility carpets, what would you end up looking at?

I mean, I know it's likely that these are untrue statements made about the people filing suit, but I thought the thing about libel was that other people had to believe that what you said is true? I would imagine that "racist ranting in the anonymous online commentary section" doesn't really make the grade, as far as believability factor goes.

If an ex con wanted to, say, knock off a bank, he would require a get-away car, which would require stealing one. If you give ex cons get-away cars, they no longer have to steal them prior to committing a bank robbery. Capisci?

Why would any librarian want to have natural light illuminating the stacks of a library? So much UV exposure is absolutely god-awful-terrible for books.

How about the the next time there's a tsunami, you and Peter announce your next big idea to the world, and the collective sound of anyone with more than three braincells slapping their palms to their faces will create a sonic boom - thereby warning coastal villagers?

Also, some of you might have a passing interest in mathematics.

damned if you do, damned if you don't.

I don't see how that follows; if anything, the Greeks shall inherit the earth. Frat boys will be the first to develop an immunity, and let's face it - if you're contracting STDs, you're both having sex and avoiding birth control.
