Utah governor signs law that creates an "adult content registry" and blames the *ISP* if you manage to surf to a site on the list and feel offended because you sought out porn on the internet.

The Jesus Diet!

X-Men 3 rumours: Beast, Gambit, and Angel.

"You know why white, male Republicans are so fucking freaky about gun rights? Because it's the only civil right they've ever had to fear being taken away.

Voting? Nope, they got that right out of the gate. Education, credit? Nope, they had those, too. The right to bodily integrity? That, too. The right to assemble without getting knocked over with fire hoses? They had that one. The right to marry? Check. The right to rape your spouse? Check. The right to go to a doctor and get full information about their bodies instead of some hazy, pink-colored nonsense about being a mommy and how it's a life full of marshmallows? Got that one. The perceived right to do, say, steal, or kill anything in pursuit of sexual satisfaction? Check."

"Take, for example, the Python script that Matt Webb created in a few minutes that uses the motion sensor to control iTunes when the PowerBook is bumped. Or the challenge from Tucows' Joey deVilla for someone to link the motion sensor to the Trash, so that when you shake the PowerBook it empties like a high-tech Etch A Sketch."

Jacques Cousteau's grandson Fabien is building a shark-shaped submarine that will use pneumatics to power a working tail so that he will be able to slip in undetected with real live sharks. It sounds a little scary:

"... the dive team on the Calypso 'probably getting bored' decided to make the robotic shark act erratic and 'injured'. Consequently, a large female turned on the shark and gave it a 'death blow' which is a bite to the gills. She came back for several more and completely destroyed the robotic shark."

That robot shark did not have a diver inside of it, but was instead helmed by forty pounds of bacon.

"The Solar Death Ray is dangerous. Don't build one. I'm surprised I haven't burnt or blinded myself yet. The fumes from molten plastic can't be good either."

SOLAR DEATH RAY versus AOL.
