Now if we only could get our hands on the original tape. Where to look? Hmmmm...
Twenty [sexual] positions were tested by computer simulation to obtain the best 10... "Two guinea pigs then tested them in real zero-gravity conditions. The results were videotaped but are considered so sensitive that even Nasa was only given a censored version."
***You Are Milk Pocky***
Your attitude: caring and charming
Smooth and silkly... invigorating and natural.
You are like comfort food for the soul.
What Flavor Pocky Are You?
[I]n order to ensure breeding success, male Antechinuses strip their body of vital proteins and also suppress the immune system so as to free up additional metabolic energy. In this way an individual male trades away long term survival in return for short term breeding success, and following the breeding season there is a complete die-off of physiologically exhausted males... Males produce large amounts of testosterone and mate-guarding occurs in the form of protracted copulation (up to twelve hours in some species).
The females can store sperm for up to three days in specialized sperm-storage crypts in the ovary and do not ovulate until the end of the breeding season. Many litters have multiple-paternity (i.e. several fathers contribute to a single litter). Females can live for 2-3 years, however this is unusual, and most females die following the weaning of their first litter. Litters size depends on the number of teats in the pouch. There are as few as 4 teats, usually 8, and in some populations up to 10 can occur. It is currently unknown why teat number varies, however it is likely that in food-poor environments selection has tended towards fewer teats so that there is a greater parental investment per offspring.
An Antechinus baby can weigh as little as 4 grams and are some of the smallest Australian native animal babies.
Caves can be great [shelter], but be sure the cave is not already occupied by bears, large cats, snakes or other unfriendly animals; they know caves are good too, and they've been looking for good shelter for longer than you have. Also make sure it's not going to collapse on you- this reduces your chances of survival considerably.
Bear dens are excellent shelters as they provide protection from the elements, but many times you'll find that a bear will not welcome you into its home; unless it is eating you.
Shoe/Boot laces make good rope in an emergency situation, but remember once they're removed, walking will become more difficult.
Chewing leather is bad advice for most modern, chemical-tanned leathers, (great way to poison yourself with chromium and other toxic chemicals)! Besides, do you really want to trade your only real foot protection for a couple of calories? Protect your shoes so you can take a hike to look for nutrition!
The Heist (1x05)
In order to create a distraction to swap the dice at a craps table, using some string and a paper clip, MacGyver fastens the string to the paper clip then attaches it to the dress of a woman who is walking nearby and steps on the string, pulling down her dress thereby creating a distraction and allowing him to swap the dice.
Target MacGyver (1x10)
MacGyver uses several pinecones to act as ad hoc grenades / land mines. (Pine Sap has some latent explosive properties).
Macgyver gets Harry to fill his vest with sticks and twigs to act as a diversion.
The Enemy Within (1x15)
MacGyver uses a dubious ultrasonic device to crack the eyeglasses of a would-be assailant.
Ugly Duckling (1x18)
The secondary character (the episode title's namesake) attempts to break out of a shed with barred windows using an impromptu arc welder using battery terminals and a small metal object. (MacGyver pulls the same trick in the episode "Trumbo's World"), but is unable to get out because the bars are too hot. MacGyver cools the bars off using a spray can which "contains hydrocarbons".
A Prisoner of Conscience (1x21)
MacGyver plugs a sink in a small janitor's closet with a cloth, puts caulk around the rim of a bucket then pours a hardening agent onto the caulked rim claiming "caulking compound mixed with the proper hardening agent makes a unique version of Russian Crazy Glue"... [A] guard inspects the device and when he picks it up has his hands glued to the bucket.
The Human Factor (2x01)
As laser-wielding robots home in on his body heat, MacGyver creates a fake heat signature by using magnets wrapped in burning paper.
I will confess that I have never received such an extraordinary letter in my entire career. I take accusations that I may have committed a criminal act very seriously.
[Your] records prove that nobody associated with my office has seen Mr. Aamer for a full year. Thus, it is physically impossible for us to have delivered anything to him that recently surfaced on his person. Surely you do not suggest that in your maximum security prison, where Mr. Aamer has been held in solitary confinement almost continuously since September 24, 2005, and where he has been more closely monitored than virtually any prisoner on the Base, your staff have missed the fact that he has been wearing both Speedos and ‘Under Armor’ for 12 months?
Without bringing this up with me, it was therefore patently clear that my office had nothing to do with this question of lingerie. However, I am unwilling to allow the issue of underwear to drop there. Getting to the bottom of this would help. I have done a little research to help you in your investigations.
I had never heard of ‘Under Armor briefs’ until you mentioned them, and my internet research has advanced my knowledge in two ways – first, Under Armour apparently sports a ‘U’ in its name, which is significant only because it helps with the research.
There must be other clues as to the provenance of these underpants. Perhaps you might check the label to see whether these are ‘tactical’ underwear, as this is apparently something Under Armour has created specially for the military.
[T]he Tactical section of the Under Armour Web site features military models, not athletes. In one image, a soldier poised on one knee wears a LooseGear shirt, looking as if he’d just as soon take a hill as take off on a run. His muscular arms protrude from the tight, olive-colored fabric. He’s a picture of soldierliness. And he’s totally dry.
I understand that other people use Under Armour. One group I noticed on the web were the amateur weight lifters, who seem confused as to whether Under Armour gave them a competitive advantage.
On the issue of the Speedo swimming trunks, my research really does not help very much.
I should say that your letter brought to mind a sign in the changing room of a local swimming pool, which showed someone diving into a lavatory, with the caption, “We don’t swim in your toilet, so please don’t pee in our pool”.

Along with those black, scabby tomatoes you sent me, you have done an excellent job describing the plant nemesis called Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus...Infected tomato plants have many small, dark, circular spots on younger leaves. Leaves may have a bronzed appearance and later turn dark brown and withered. Flushes of new growth are yellowish and distorted. Fruit has many spots about one-half inch in diameter with concentric, circular markings.
On ripe fruit these markings are alternate bands of red and yellow.
Pepper fruits may have dead spots as well.
Insects named thrips are the culprits that spreads the virus. Insects feed on a plant with virus and transmit it to another plant. Not all insects spread virus.
So after two years, the herdsman opens the door, and one of the kids goes "Becos!", which apparently sounds a lot like the Phrygian word for bread (this connection was made by pharaoh Psammetichus himself).Now the Egyptians, before the reign of their king Psammetichus, believed themselves to be the most ancient of mankind. Since Psammetichus, however, made an attempt to discover who were actually the primitive race, they have been of opinion that while they surpass all other nations, the Phrygians surpass them in antiquity. This king, finding it impossible to make out by dint of inquiry what men were the most ancient, contrived the following method of discovery:-
He took two children of the common sort, and gave them over to a herdsman to bring up at his folds, strictly charging him to let no one utter a word in their presence, but to keep them in a sequestered cottage, and from time to time introduce goats to their apartment, see that they got their fill of milk, and in all other respects look after them.
Got this from Ddogg, and I must say that it is awesome.
Literally (visuo-spatially?) awesome. I am in awe.
The creative use of construction paper makes me want to pee my pants.
I can never get too much stop-motion animation. especially when stop-motion is contaminated with drawing.
This video is tops - plus, it's got kids' heads being ripped open.
That'll teach the fuckers to make frogs smoke...
