in order:

the face test irritated me, both b/c the faces were disturbing to me, and because they used no female faces (faces could be remembered differently based upon sex, gender, sexual preference, etc).

the cube... disturbs me. and i admire its catsoup nature for new enlightened homeostatic turbines.

netbooks ftw! i think they are going to revolutionize how computers are used, and what they are used for. and i think they are a healthy dose of competition for the stale market. adapt or die bitches!

And that stem cell thing could be big, though getting donors from resistant people may be difficult.

I think that woman is a criminal, though I am not sure what sort of legal action should be taken. I know what I want to happen, but I am pretty sure such action would be regarded as 'unethical'. Seriously WTF is wrong with people, and why is our government so f**cked up that is thinks supporting her is okay?

Anyone else just feel like she's digging for the government to fund her for the rest of her life?

"Hmmm... I've got 6 kids, no spouse, and a minimum wage job that I can barely hold down as it is. I think I'll save up to be artificially insemenated AGAIN so I can have EVEN MORE kids that I CANNOT AFFORD TO SUPPORT so that the government and other charitable types will give me free stuff! And then I can use the excuse of having 14 kids to not work! Yay!"

I still hope the medical community comes down hard on the sob that impregnated that woman.
