Old Stuff.

Somehow I just can't bring myself to delete these old ideas, so the only way to get rid of them is to throw them in a poorly thought out post that barely even comments on their content.

Good job Spain, look them rocking 70% clean, green energy. 
But wait, the race isn't over and here come a new contender, Samso, the Danish island of about 4,000 is completely energy-self sufficient.  That 100% electric from wind, and 75% of heat comes from biomass and solar.  There's also an awesome picture of wind turbines if you click through.

The guy who thought up the DMCA in the first place is admitting that its being abused and isn't really accomplishing what it was intended to do.  How long before we can pull the plug on this thing?  You'd think the media giants would be all for it so that they can go after Google without worrying about its safe harbor clause.


They're trying to rig horse races by hiding dart shooting contraptions in the dirt in Hong Kong.  Sounds like a Bond movie, right?  Luckily the mystery liquid filled darts were discovered before some scammer made a bundle by sending Mr Ed to the glue factory.

Tired of watching the linoleum peel?  Try speeding up paint drying by watching it.  This study suggests that paint actually does dry faster if someone watches it.  I don't even want to get into all the problems with this, but isn't is a bit of a schrodinger's cat situation?

Remember that pain gun the airforce came up with but we weren't too sure we wanted to test it on the American public?  Well now you can see what you're missing out on as they unleash it on a dim-witted AP reporter. 

There's a parasite that infects rats and hijacks their brains to make them do very stupid things.  Essentially, it makes them get eaten by cats.  The parasite makes the rat love the smell of cat urine so that when the rat gets eaten, the parasite completes its life cycle in the felines' intestinal tract.  Kinda reminds me of guys thinking with their peckers rather than thinking things though.
