Lawmakers read script written by biotech/drug giant's lobbyists
During the health care debate in congress, more than a dozen US lawmakers all parrotted talking points scripted for them by lobbyists working for biotech/drug giant Genentech. So what? Said one of those lobbyists, "This happens all the time. There was nothing nefarious about it."... More.
The Green Flash of the Sun
Sometimes, from certain places, the light from the sun can briefly appear green. NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day explains, Just as the setting Sun disappears completely from view, a last glimmer appears startlingly green. The effect is typically visible only from locations with a low, distan... More.
Hacklab.to's laser-cutter really *does* play the Mario Bros theme!
I owe the Hacklab.to people an apology. Last spring I ran this post about how they'd tuned the motor on their laser cutter to play the Super Mario Theme as it repositioned itself, and I mentioned that it was too perfect, and wondered "if it's not just some video of a laser cutter with a flange...

Please release me: Modern Warfare, Spore Islands, and Half Minute Heroes
For most, there will have been only one game released this week (and that most includes a number of major publishers, who, gun-shy from the competition, have pushed their own releases to Q1 of next year): Infinity Ward's return to the Modern Warfare franchise they laid down in 2007. Modern Warfa... More.

That seems an extravagant way to carry around dead batteries.
If only they put the regenerative breaking to different use, we could finally get us some zombies.
Now if only we could get them to run on people, all the world's energy problems would be solved.
call that a hearse?

Eco minded closure!
Nothing like an eco-friendly vehicle to transport your formaldehyde laden corpse into the soil...
That actually looks kind of cool.
@7: Wait 'til you see the hatchback pop up!
Great idea! Saves fuel for the cremation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_funeral
Try the new Prius hearse! They're as quiet as the grave! (Sorry...I couldn't resist.)
I'm dying to get one!!!
Top Gear Australia explored the idea of a Smart car as a hearse. That would be good to see. I'm sure you can find it on Youtube.
Tak, now that is a hearse! A Lincoln, too, which isn't that common around here at least.
When driving back from the funeral you use the engine. When driving to the funeral you can use the electric engine - nice and quiet.
Nothing to do with the environment i think.
Wouldn't it be more eco-friendly if we just used our dead for something else? Like crackers?

Soylent Green tastes like grampa!
I'm SO proud of my spawn! The Issue of the Second told me the other day the plan is to take my corporeal remains, dessicate them and string them marionette style in a glass case whereby they might yet earn by having passer-bys put coins in to see the grotesque jerking and dance....sigh.... needs a good tune though...
Looks long enough for a long horse funeral procession. When our long horse "Stretch died, we just dug a long trench and buried him. Er, what was left after extracting the 15' long tracts of meat.
Call it the Toyota Posthumous?
Priuses?
Prii?
Any excuse to link to Wayne and Shuster:

At the 4:44 mark.
Time for a Harold and Maude remake.
introducing the new Toyota Priapus. Made for your stiff.
Looks like the longcat of the Toyotas
Wow what's the 0-60 time on that thing?
I guess it's better than a hummer limo.
Longcar is long.
This is an 'eco-friendly' .
We used to call them "station wagons."
How come everybody doesn't get one?
I wouldn't be seen dead in one!
why is it four doors?
Is the funeral industry going to make a modern swing?
How green is it to have one person in each car in the funeral procession?
WOW, what a hearse, where can I order one!!!!!!
