Harvard Medical School is beefing up lab security after six researchers got sick off poisoned coffee back in August. The toxicology reports came in recently, according to Bloomberg, and the chemical culprit was sodium azide, which turns into a toxic gas when it's mixed into water. The good news is t... More.
Were it any other week I might be lamenting the lack of high profile retail releases, but as it happens, both the release of a demo for Valve's upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 and one other game have been eating up nearly all my spare time (and a good deal of non-spare-time as well), that game being:

Another fun experiment you can try at home! Although, given pigeons' tendency to carry disease, I'd recommend training a cat, spouse or younger sibling. The video, sadly, winks out right as the expert is being brought in to explain Skinner's research. So, instead, enjoy this explanation of the pig... More.
Beck went off the Depend a long time ago.
Well done, sir. Well done.
Douché!
Someone buy that being a drink!

I keep hearing about this Glen Beck dude. I'm proud and happy to say I've never seen his show. From what most of my fellow boingers have to say about him... I'll think I'll keep it that way. :)
Is there a link for a Keith Olbermann or Nancy Pelosi mask?
What would be brilliant would be if the Beck face would appear after the diaper is soiled, to fully advertise that it's completely full of shit.
I think it's a great way to get punched in the face by some deluded follower. Other than that, it seems interesting. I say "seems" 'cause I'm in a public place and prudence is telling me not to click the link just yet. (Thanks for the warning Xeni.)
Yes. It's at wingnutdelusionsofpersecution.com
Im feeling a combination of this and other costumes would go well. Anyone have a leftover grim reaper outfit?
Of course, he'll need to supply your own crayons, but that likely won't be a problem.
er..."he'll need to supply *his* own crayons"
That'll teach me to change the sentence structure midway through without proofreading again. Bah.
I think it's a great way to get punched in the face by some deluded follower.
Or the manparts! WHICH OF THESE EVENTUALITIES IS MORE UNSETTLING?
The problem with this is that the mask doesn't seem to retain much of its diaper-nature. Just looks like a white blob.
Beck and the other mouth jockys on Fox aren't worth talking about. The typical cable wrestling show or Spongebob have 10 times the viewers. Fox ranks alongside local access channels and test patterns.
Based on the bad bets he's made, start a betting pool on the day Fox and/or Murdoch will declare bankruptcy.
i'm not his biggest fan, but i do have to admit, the man is a natural entertainer.
Why so much venom? If you don't like him, simply ignore him. I just don't understand why so many people have to waste so much energy 'hating'. I think everyone would be better served if the energy were put into positive actions instead of wasted on infantile attacks, no matter what your political leanings. This reminds me of how much energy was wasted by the right during the Clinton administration mocking him. Just a silly waste of time.
Carful there bukahobbit, in preaching peace the 'beck-haters' you are referring to are liable to think you are attacking them personally.
Ughh, free publicity for shock jocks, even if it is satirical, is fighting fire with kerosene.
