"Pentagon Wants Kill Switch for Planes"
By Noah Shachtman

"The Pentagon's non-lethal weapons division is looking for technologies
that could "disable" aircraft, before they can take off from a runway -- or
block the planes from flying over a given city of stretch of land.
[...]
it would like arms-makers to come up with a way to "safely divert an
aircraft in the air or stop and/or disable an aircraft on the ground." And
no, shooting the thing with a missile doesn't count."

I wonder how they'll disable gliders, sailboats, and rowboats?

Jesus Christ. Its not bad enough that we have F-16's chasing us around
for fun. Now they're going to shutdown our engines as we fly the
family to grandma's house. Is it time for a revolution yet?

8. OK, so who's this "Dev McKinHole", then?

I dunno, some guy named Devon McKinnon of Dawson Creek, allegedly, and
according to the Monkey, a pedophile. However, I wouldn't take that too
seriously. The Monkey keeps changing his mind about who I am, so there's
no reason to think he won't change it about Mr. McKinnon, too.

"If you don't have pedicures AT LEAST every two weeks, don't talk to me.
If you don't floss every night and morning and brush at least twice a
day, don't talk to me. If you don't spend money on you hair and get
great cuts and color, don't talk to me. If you are heavy, don't talk to
me. If you don't shower every morning and take a nice bubble bath every
night, don't talk to me. If you don't have a loved one in your arms,
don't talk to me. If you don't keep an immaculate house, don't talk to
me. If you don't work, don't talk to me." -- Clearly, Martha Vandella
never wants to talk to me, which is for the best, really.
