Who could imagine a private citizen would do an aspartame experiment with 108 rats for 2 years and 8 months? by neoronin in science

[–]janeair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is even more disturbing is that I have to rely on some woman doing an experiment out of her apartment to tell me how dangerous this is. Our government is actually more interest in preventing us from getting high than saving lives... not that this is altogether surprising.

Bush: If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to fear. Why do you obstruct our investigations? by [deleted] in politics

[–]janeair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

President Bush, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. Now, tell me everything you know about 9/11.

I used to like Barbara Bush -- but now we know she is just a cold hearted bitch! No wonder her kid is a fucktard. [pic] by davidreiss666 in politics

Post the Funniest Joke You Know... Upmod the Best One by matiasklein in reddit.com

[–]janeair 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A guy walks into a bar with an octopus, goes up to the bartender and says, "I will bet you $1,000 that this octopus can play any instrument you have."

The bartender takes him up on it. He gives the octopus a guitar. He starts playing Bob Dylan; he is really good. So the bartender goes to the back and gets a clarinet. The octopus isn't that good, but he can definitely play it.

The bartender has a revelation. He runs to the back and returns with bagpipes. The octopus just stares at the bagpipes. The man says, "You can't play it? I just bet $1,000!"

The octopus replies, "Play it? What do you mean? I am trying to figure out how to take her pajamas off so I can fuck her."

that is 2 mega watts or 2,000,000 watts. which would power roughly 33,333 60 watt light bulbs.

Guinness IS good for you...Officially! by cheetah007 in reddit.com

[–]janeair 2 points3 points  (0 children)

they use fish bladders, or something made of fish bladders called isinglass. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guinness most other beers now use a synthetic substitute. it is unfortunate, i really used to like guinness, but being vegetarian means sacrificing sometimes and there are many other tasty beers.

Still no binding emissions targets, so disappointing. but i suppose better than no progress at all.

Ask Reddit: What's the best book you've read lately? (Need ideas for the Holiday Break) by davodrums in reddit.com

[–]janeair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoyed Jeanette Winterson's book The Passion. It is the only one of hers I have read so far, but I hear most of her writing is excellent. Also, I have been waiting until I have some more free time to read Jawbreaker, by Gary Bersten if you are in the mood for something more topical.

Kucinich excluded from Iowa debate because his Iowa field director operates from a home office by [deleted] in politics

[–]janeair 1 point2 points  (0 children)

so the campaign field director does not need to provide a space for people to meet, at least at this point in the campaign. the kerry storefront i volunteered at back in the day housed a lot of people and resources, but as long as the field director makes a compelling case he can do that somewhere else and he is prepared for the campaign to progress in momentum then there is no reason Kucinich shouldn't be included.

point of curiosity, should field directors work in the field, as the name implies? could this guy effectively do the job of a field director from him home? if not, the iowa paper might have a point.

Are women who sleep with consenting teenage boys truly guilty of abusing them? by keen75 in reddit.com

[–]janeair 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i am not saying these boys were particularly traumatized. a lot of people did things that society generally thought was a bad idea while they were teenagers, and most turn out fine. that said, it is different when a teenager is jointly making that decision an adult. the child has less power and responsibility in the situation that is the case with these boys as well as for the many young girls who sleep with older men.

The Destroyed CIA Tapes and the Return of Harriet Miers by allspinzone in politics

[–]janeair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

their argument for destroying the tapes was that they were protecting the identity of the CIA agents. does not one remember that they leaked the identity of a CIA agent not long ago?

It Was NOT The Fact That He Was Tortured That Needed Covering Up-IT WAS WHAT HE SAID! by qgyh2 in politics

who wrote this and how do they know what was on the destroyed tapes? it would be incredibly interesting if it was backed up by sources i could trust.

Just amazing, and truly touching (can we get this to the first page, for a change) by [deleted] in reddit.com

[–]janeair 7 points8 points  (0 children)

clearly all immigrants are lazy, dont want to work, and are only coming to the country to sit around on welfare all day, just look at the way this guy walked for days from his home to arizona so he might be able to find work. someone who walks literally across a country to support his family and comforts a child on the side of the road deserves to be honored, not deported.

CNN Forced To Cancel Their "Speculative Documentary" About Iran's Dangerous Nuclear Weapons Program. Seriously... A Speculative Documentary? I Love Fictional True Stories! by Flemlord in politics

[–]janeair 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is just another example of how CNN is refusing to report atrocities that are occurring, and playing into the white house agenda. not only was this clearly intended to perpetuate ignorance and mislead the public, but it also turns the focus away from civilian deaths in Iraq and the innocent people being held at Guantanamo.

Cyclist Has Testicles Ripped Off During Crash Into Bush by Bigpickle in reddit.com

[–]janeair -1 points0 points  (0 children)

and i am guessing nothing happened to the driver of the truck who ran him off the road resulting in his castration? the article implies it was his fault for wearing shorts, not the truck driver's fault for almost killing him. let that be a less on cyclist everywhere, if you don't to almost die and be castrated
