I'm a netnews addict. Fark.com is constantly a bar in Firefox for me as well as a few news sites. I'm prettty sure there are other netnews junkies out there, so heres a discussion thread for anything you feel like posting for others to have a look at.
I'd like to put one rule out there.. no politics stuff. That should go in the election 2008 thread.(Even if it doesn't relate to the election.. cos we'll probably just rename that one to the politics discussion thread after the election is over)

I was totally in until it got to the stuff about serious repercussions! ;D I guess I should have figured that if it paid that well, there must be a huge downside.

Yeah, somebody posted them over on the Infobury board, and I was blown away. I can't imagine how scary it must have been to be anywhere even remotely near there.
!hose are awesome pics!!! I'm facsinated by volcanoes (and earthquakes). I'd be one of those people that flock toward an erupting volcano rather than away.

I too am a big fan o' news and today while I was scrolling down reading the headlines and I was stopped dead in my tracks by this one......I felt so stupid giggling immaturally at it but I couldn't help it.
Oh and I think it is mighty suspicious that all these inactive fault lines and volcanoes are suddenly becoming active. There is a major "inactive" fault line that runs along the border of NC/TN but there has been a pretty steady increase in earthquakes the past couple years, I'm an sure this would be worth researching

^^That wouldn't be as weird for me. Atleast there'd be a way to remember the person when looking at your garden or whatever you fertilized with them...
I mean, cremation you can keep the remains so that's cool. Burying, obviously you can visit the site. Why would I ever want to just dissolve the body of a loved one and flush them down the drain??
It says it is sterile in most cases.....I would like to know in which cases it isn't...lol....I mean if it is hazardous some of the time I would think that wouldnt be good for mass use.
i want to be made into a diamond! i cant pick who would get to keep me though... my parents if they're still around when i kick the bucket...my siblings... my S.O...
i had also been considering donating my body to med schools. my family may support it.. especially since my parents are doctors. someone's gotta do it.. our future medical students need to learn on cadavers.
Saab apparently got caught and subsequently admitted to using cadavers for crash testing.
holy poop
This is actually pretty normal. I dont think the car companies usually use them directly but according to the book Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers, human bodies are used in crashes to help make crash test dummies and study actual impact damage.

The US Geological Society has a fun earthquake map:
I love earthquakes, too! Though I have actually to experience one... I would probably freak out at first then be majorly excited when it was over. We have them here in TN pretty regularly but never anything major. When I was in college, there was one that we could feel, though I slept through it It was the last earthquake that was centered in the state that was strong enough to actually feel in the mid-state area.
