    Silk production using giant spiders

    Considering that scientists were trying to produce synthetic spider silk for something better than Kevlar... I think going for "silk" is not quite right. How about using it for rope and cloth armor? And it's very sticky, you could use the "glue" from it for other applications too.... just a thought.

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Fume? There were supposed to be fumes? Now I feel cheated. :( Darn my well ventilated work area! Actually, now that it's had a day to set, it's pretty solid, and looks good! But glue is as far as I go. I'm NOT going to sit there with an eensy-weensy paintbrush pretending to actually posess...

    mini mania! WHOOT! Today I have learned something very important. Krazy Glue is evil. Tomorrow I would like to learn the name of the [censored] who thought it would be a good idea to have her hand and sword come packaged seperate from her body. In return, he shall learn the exquisite...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Not only do I have my own mini, I just found the glue to put'er together with! Hopefully, I can maintain a light hand. Otherwise, I'll pick one of my others, and she can be an ooze monster... ;) I have two others that might suit if female characters are needed. I'd suggest "Nickelodeon Gak"...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Cinelli's in Cary is one of the "best picks" for pizza and Italian places at citysearch.com (the user reviews were gushingly good for the most part) and got 3 stars at triangle.com. Is it to be assumed that we're considering the Cary location? There is another one in Raleigh. Obviously, I'm...

    Lilly's is good... but only if I can get a ride out there. I stay far, far away from five points, especially with all the construction between my house and there.

    Cinelli's Pizza Click on the pot to get to the menu. Mmmmmm, white pizza.

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    For other options, there's a Cinelli's Pizza in Cary and one in Raleigh. Supposedly, they do groups pretty well. I checked out the menu, and it seems like a pretty good selection for a "pizza place". They also have beer and wine. Kind of like Olive Garden. Any other ideas? Oh, and if you don't...

    [OT] How tall is Wolverine?

    As a long time reader of X-Men, believe me, he's always been short. He's drawn short, and the other characters have been known to remark upon his lack of tallness. 5'2" sounds about right to me.

    What about a pub-like place, such as Tir Na Nog? (I haven't been there, and would love to go... and it's close enough for me to taxi there and back should I choose to drink.) Of course, there are other pub/resturants scattered around the triangle area...

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Thanks Jon! And don't worry, "Copacabana" is the only Manilow song I can stomach. I'm planning to get onto campus at about 8, park on Morrill and walk over to Brugger's, arriving at 8:10ish. That work for you?

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    Wow, the response of volunteer bagel-carriers is just overwhelming. Come on, all ya gotta do is show up a few minutes early! :( Jon, you'll probably get better results if you email NCSUCodeMonkey directly. He claims to be fairly busy with school, but a gentle email nudge got him working on my...

    Grandma, Mascot

    Every time someone says something inappropriate? :eek: I can see the ad now: Only applicants with Greater Teleportation should apply.

    NC GAME DAY II (Aug 23): Man, was that fun or what?!

    The gods have heard my cry... and mailed me a pack of coupons, including one for Brugger's. Anyone willing to meet me out there so that I can get both free bagels and free cream cheese (Darn that "one per customer" limitation to Heck!) ? If I bring nothing else of interest to the games, I will...

    Honey, I shrunk the font!

    Maybe it's just that I'm easily entertained, but... that was soooo cool! And really useful. My life has been enriched.

    I don't know if this is funny, scary, or sad...

    No, but I can usually smell the smoke of sarcasm in satire. This one, to me, seems to be in ernest. Doesn't mean that you can't take it for satire and be amused by it that way if you wish. We'll all laugh it in our own way, I suppose.

    I don't know if this is funny, scary, or sad...

    Did anyone notice how at the bottom, he claims to have trademarked "4E Dungeons & Dragons"? This guy has either failed spectacularly to be overtly humorous, or is a huge idiot. Hmmmm... I'm leaning ever-so-slightly towards "idiot"....

    A pirates life for me.....

    we are the pirates who don't do anything we just stay at home and lie around and if you ask us to do anything we'll just tell you, "we don't do anything!" well I've never been to Greenland and I've never been to Denver and I've never buried treasure in St. Louis or St. Paul and I've never been...

    Encounters with the Supernatural

    Hellbender, I'd like to see some further proof of that. I've been following the career of James Randi for years, and he's not some eccentric with more money than sense. He's actually an ex-magician ("The Amazing Randi"), who became disenchanted with some of the "psychics" and "paranormalists"...
