That's brilliant! Just don't step on it.

If you find a place, I would totally be interested in doing that with you.

Calvin and Hobbes played a huge part in my development too. Thank you so much for sharing this. I can't wait to relive some old memories.

It was great to see assorted celebrities--who are presumably Weird Al fans--participate in the video. Can't wait to see what this crazy, wonderful man does next.

I wonder if this would work on the open sea, in choppy water. It seems that the interference would mess up the specific pattern needed to pull objects inward. If it is possible to make this work in non-laboratory environments, i definitely can think of uses for the tractor beam.

I'm glad that our culture is moving away from its Puritanical origins. It's nice to see sex-positive stuff out there.

I'm newer than you are, but I like it here. I'll give it a shot. Hello, galen.

It seems odd to me that alcohol is rated so much higher than heroin on the scale this article presents. I understand it intellectually, but not instinctually.... If you can call a learned attitude an instinct.

Interesting fact, though, that support this article's assertion: alcohol, unlike most substances, can kill during withdrawal. Withdrawal from most other drugs merely makes you feel like shit.
