Skeptic commented on Is The "Unbreakable Autolock" Actually Just "Gone In 60 Seconds?"

"by danio3834 at 09:47 AM Reply * Years ago I thought the best security system would be to replace the driver's air bag with a 12 gauge shell and a primer that would activate when the vehicle is started in theft mode.

The think about booby traps is that they are often much more likely to kill the creator than a thief."

Skeptic commented on NCAA Charges Non-Refundable $9 Fee To Enter Ticket Lottery

""Lots of lottery type things require a nominal fee to show you're serious."
