Good line! I hope I never get that scared. - Parvez Halim

"Of the world's six largest economies, three currently have budget and public debt positions that if allowed to fester will push those nations into bankruptcy (the seventh largest, Italy, also has a budget and debt position that is highly vulnerable, but its problems appear chronic rather than acute). Given the proclivities of modern politicians for delaying pain and avoiding problems, it is likely that festering is just what those positions will do. So which major country, the United States, Japan or Britain, will default first on its foreign debt?" - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet

Should the UK default, you'll find the anger simmering away at our system of government will likely explode into open fighting. However, I'd say the US finances were in far worse shape than ours. Your debt is much, much bigger since a good chunk is hidden not only with fanny mae and freddie mac, but within the military. Huge chunks of the mineral and resource rich lands have been sold... more... - alphaxion

not to mention how the US manufacturing base has been eroded away too. - alphaxion

"Tired of your lunch being stolen by your roommates and co-workers? Instead of hiding your snacks, get serious about security with the fridge locker. Essentially, it's a polyurethane cage full of goodies that you store in the fridge and secure with a combination lock (included). Of course, there's nothing preventing thieves from stealing the entire cage and working on it later with a hacksaw, but that's a lot of trouble to go through for a can of Beefaroni and a bottle of Mtn Dew.

Can I just take the entire cage and saw it open? ETA: oops, clearly I didn't read far enough - Baroness Von Cut-A-Bitch

""The most widely accepted cosmological theories predict that matter also clumps on a larger scale in the so-called 'cosmic web,' in which galaxies, embedded in filaments stretching between voids, create a gigantic wispy structure," Tanaka said. These filaments are millions of light-years long and constitute the skeleton of the universe: Galaxies gather around them, and immense galaxy clusters form at their intersections, lurking like giant spiders waiting for more matter to digest." - Sean McBride from Bookmarklet

"The filament is located about 6.7 billion light-years away from us and extends over at least 60 million light-years. The newly uncovered structure does probably extend farther, beyond the field probed by the team, and hence future observations have already been planned to obtain a definite measurement of its size." - Sean McBride

Oh yes, I totally understood your eek. You should be warned there will be another photo as soon as I put it on a necklace. And Tiffany, thanks and I hope you loose the sneezy moniker soon :D - Shannon

"Scientists with the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tuna (ICCAT) have said in a new report that a global ban on Atlantic bluefin tuna fishing is justified. ICCAT meets in November to decide if they will follow their scientist's recommendations. ICCAT scientists estimated that the Atlantic bluefin tuna's spawning biomass is less than 15 percent of its original stock before industrial fishing. The decline is steep enough for the tuna to fall under Appendix 1 of Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species (CITES). The scientists also stated that a total suspension of fishing is the only way for the species to no longer meet Appendix 1 of CITES in ten years time." - John (a.k.a. dendroica) from Bookmarklet

I don't know how well restrictions or bans can be enforced. It requires a lot of cooperation among countries with fishing industries, and it only takes one or two holdouts to make the restrictions useless. - John (a.k.a. dendroica)

"What would life be like under the "Internet Freedom Act?" Well, one Reddit user created an image that depicts the "worst case scenario." John Biggs at crunchgear says, "this sort of bundling is a favorite pastime of most stream providers. For years voicemail was a privilege, not a right, and there are still grannies out there renting phones from the phone company. While month-to-month the costs might not seem like much, this sort of thing adds up to delicious profit." Over at Gizmodo, John Herman adds:" - Brad Williamson from Bookmarklet
