Here in Toronto bikes are forbidden on buses, streetcars and subways during morning and evening rush hour. If for any reason a cyclist with a non-folding bike like this needs a public transit lift ... SOL! Here is where the folding bike comes to the rescue. Some bike racks are being tested on buses and in storage compartments under commuter trains, but this is a painful process of integration, and one that has to happen if healthier commuter lifestyles are to be realized. This kind of bike I hope is just a stop-gap in that transition.

The Artist as Nurse is a nice reference to Japanese cosplay, putting the business suit into the same fetishistic role. However, I did find the public piece-of-ass pitstop anti-climactic.

I remember when he was my brother's brother-in-law's roommate in university (true) and my best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with a girl who saw John, I mean Jonny, I mean Ferris pass-out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

/No problem whatsoever

]]> <![CDATA[ANoel commented on Prototype Remote-Activated Wrist Stun-Device Shocks You For Airplane Security]]> @ANoel:
That's an interesting question as there are "On any given day, more than 87,000 flights are in the skies in the United States."*

If each flight only averaged 100 people, that would be 8,700,000 potential terrorists above the US a day.

Is this device being marketed by Haliburton, or Unicor [www.unicor.gov]
or by whom?

As the author of the original Washington Post article says...
"It calls to mind on(e) of my favorite speeches given by an American Founding Forefather, Patrick Henry, who said,

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!""

"freeing the people of Iraq and defeating terrorism"
... believe it or not, there are more people than you may want to contemplate who think that it is the Americans who are waging (in Borat's immortal comment) The War of Terror, not Iraq, who has been occupied on a totally bullshit "Waepons of Mass Destruction" call as a perfect pretext for corporate colonialism. Afghanistan is another. Both are conduits for oil, not democracy.
I don't mean to troll.
I do find it unconscionable to verbally (or otherwise) attack Dubai or Abu Dhabi for successfully re-inventing their economy - something America seems to have missed the boat on...

Apple should do a commercial with Steve Martin reading the scrolling contacts app.
Years ago on one of his first standup TV gigs I saw him say "You know how they say, "He could read the yellow pages and make it sound funny"...?"
Martin proceeded to do just that plus in the process made thousands of people, I'm ashamed to say, including me, incontinent.
