Metallic Super-Silk From Spiders
LONDON (Reuters) – Spider silk is already tougher and lighter than steel, and now scientists have made it three times stronger by adding small amounts of metal. The technique may be useful for manufacturing super-tough textiles and high-tech medical materials, including artificial bones and tendons.
How long do you think it will take to weaponize something to do with this stuff?
MADD Zealot Appointed To Head NHTSA
President Obama’s pick to head the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration raises a few red flags. If confirmed by the Senate, Chuck Hurley, CEO of Mothers Against Drunk Driving, will drive motorists over the cliff with regulation.
The nation’s traffic-safety czar has broad powers to control the roads and road-going habits of Americans. Mr. Hurley has a history of pushing laws that harass millions of law-abiding citizens to ensnare a few lawbreakers. He supports returning the 55 mph speed limit to our highways as well as roadblocks and random pullovers to make sure drivers aren’t doing anything wrong. This methodology is based on a presumption of guilt - not innocence - of the average driver who is doing nothing wrong.
This kind of appointment is truly disturbing. This is a guy who has spent years preaching reactionary policies. MADD supported the DUI conviction of a woman riding a horse, for fuck’s sake. I’ve often said we’d be better off riding horses again, since no matter how drunk you get…your horse will not run into another horse…or a tree…or anything else for that matter.
Drunk driving kills a lot of people and it’s always a tragedy. That fact does not mean that Orwellian enforcement tactics and the abuse of actual responsible citizens is justified.
I strongly suggest reading the original article at the Washington Times.
Tazer Video Of The Year
Naked Wizard Tased By Reality from Tracy Anderson on Vimeo.
This guy is certainly an idiot. Probably stoned, drunk or both and too dumb to realize he’s already lost by the time the cops show up. Still, once they decided it was time to cuff him, three cops somehow can’t manage to restrain the naked guy (probably homophobically terrified of brushing up against his package), so they taze him repeatedly; including grabbing him by the hair and ramming the tazer into the base of his skull. All this while they know a hundred cameras are filming them.
Hopefully their department recognizes this clear failure to serve and protect. Assholes have rights too.
