"Grainy footage of outrageous exploits (bench-pressing Asian women, splashing down in a space capsule, performing trick billiards shots for turbaned companions) is accompanied by a sequence of boastful one-liners: "The police often question him just because they find him interesting," "His beard alone has experienced more than a lesser man's entire body," "His blood smells like cologne."" - Casey Muller

"Commissioners are not powerless. They could eliminate prolonged isolation with the stroke of a pen. So, I asked, why haven’t they? He told me what happened when he tried to move just one prisoner out of isolation. Legislators called for him to be fired and threatened to withhold basic funding. Corrections officers called members of the crime victim’s family and told them that he’d gone soft on crime. Hostile stories appeared in the tabloids. It is pointless for commissioners to act unilaterally, he said, without a change in public opinion." - Casey Muller

"But the RAW files [do] not remove the judges' suspicion of excessive use of Photoshop. In particular three images invoke the judges' anger. ... After a short discussion [they] agree to vote the series out." - Casey Muller

All three examples look okay to me, but of course they can set their contest rules however they want. - Casey Muller

Awesome pictures. Love getting a different perspective on things. - Garin Kilpatrick

"Several studies have confirmed this bizarre proposition: If you're taking a test of rote memorization, like words from a list, move your eyes from side to side for about 30 seconds before you start. Really." - Casey Muller

Dang - I'm a strong lefty. Won't help. - Hutch Carpenter

"Having pledged ourselves, we encountered the aspect of Wal-Mart employment that impressed me most: The Telxon, ... a hand-held bar-code scanner with a wireless connection to the store's computer. When pointed at any product, the Telxon would reveal ... the quantity that should be on the shelf, the availability from the nearest warehouse, the retail price, and (most amazing of all) the markup. All of us were given access to this information, because - in theory, at least - anyone in the store could order a couple extra pallets of anything, and could discount it heavily as a Volume Producing Item (known as a VPI), competing with other departments to rack up the most profitable sales each month." - Casey Muller

Yeah. Kobe's been 3 times as good since he switched to 24 from 8... - Dan Hsiao

I love kobe, but Michael could probably beat him now. - Ted Roden

"The speckled beans were pretty and had character too: a meaty texture and nutty flavor. Embarrassingly easy to make, they sparked more interest among my guests than the carefully roasted grass-fed leg of lamb. Who knew beans could be so . . . exotic?" - Casey Muller

"A hundred prisoners are each locked in a room with three pirates, one of whom will walk the plank in the morning. Each prisoner has 10 bottles of wine, one of which has been poisoned; and each pirate has 12 coins, one of which is counterfeit and weighs either more or less than a genuine coin. In the room is a single switch, which the prisoner may either leave as it is, or flip. Before being led into the rooms, the prisoners are all made to wear either a red hat or a blue hat; they can see all the other prisoners' hats, but not their own. Meanwhile, a six-digit prime number of monkeys multiply until their digits reverse, then all have to get across a river using a canoe that can hold at most two monkeys at a time. But half the monkeys always lie and the other half always tell the truth. Given that the Nth prisoner knows that one of the monkeys doesn't know that a pirate doesn't know the product of two numbers between 1 and 100 without knowing that the N+1th prisoner has flipped the switch in his room or..." - Casey Muller

Humm..let's see...Got it! The monkeys are all in a quantum half-dead/half-alive state (schrodinger-zombie monkeys), and the pirates are just ninjas in disguise. The only survivor is Chuck Norris. - Ruben

"Like you, I was asked to work for an annual salary of $1, and I agreed out of a sense of duty to the company and to the public officials who have come to its aid. Having now been let down by both, I can no longer justify spending 10, 12, 14 hours a day away from my family for the benefit of those who have let me down." - Casey Muller

"You have a dog, and I have a cat. We agree that they are each worth a billion dollars. You sell me the dog for a billion, and I sell you the cat for a billion. Now we are no longer pet owners, but Icelandic banks, with a billion dollars in new assets." - Casey Muller

Last year the Nobel Peace Prize opened their nomination database for 1901-1955. Here are the six nominations my grandfather made in that period (representing the AFSC, which won in 1947). Happy 93rd birthday Grandpop! - Casey Muller

His family hadn't know about his nomination of Nehru until now. Just the same as not knowing that he had visited a young minister, MLK, and paid for him to travel to India to study non violence. Or his spending hours in a cave with Mao after a three month trip to find him during WW2. Or living in Harlem prewar and making a film about working people for the Ford Foundation. And so on........ - Michael Muller

"When the economy makes big news, many photographs of people at work come across the wires, usually to help illustrate a particular story or event. By collecting these disparate photos over the past few months, I found that a global portrait emerged of we humans producing things." - Casey Muller

"The latest issue of Vanity Fair includes a set of photo spreads featuring today's Hollywood actors recreating classic Hitchcock scenes." Full slide show with the originals: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture... - Casey Muller

I usually hate these modern-day-people-in-classic-settings things, but this one is really cool and very well-done! - Ana

I love the little factoids at the bottom of each photo!! - Rachel Lea Fox

"I don’t honestly think there’s any relationship between a software algorithm for data visualization and the work of an artist like Piet Mondrian. But I do love the idea of a Dutch painter from the De Stijl movement making his way through the turnstiles at Raymond Jones Stadium." - Casey Muller

12 meters isn't very high -- are you sure that's safe? - Adrienne
