Poor sick mac! At least it's the weekend now.
It is the weekend now, right? I don't think I can take anymore.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have been instructed to please not lance myself anymore and also soak my thumb.
I'm a bad person, this made me snort. Did the Dr. think the infections were a bite or something?
Poor kiddos.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
The biggest problem with the Lite Brite things was that they were placed in places where permission is required (and would've undoubtedly been denied). Stickers and posters you might get away with on a CTA (or T) platform, but electronics? NSM.

What disturbs me most with the Adult Swim electronics is that they were able to install all those things without anyone going "What are you doing?" You'd hope someone would be suspicious by strange people fiddling around under bridges and such.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
re: Adult Swim--after seeing the stuff that shows up in "24" and all those shows, I wouldn't assume any mysterious electronic object isn't something to call the full alert out on.
edit: not to say that big city bomb squads aren't up to date on current bomb technology, but I don't want to be the squad chief saying, "Hell, it looked like a toy!"
Hmmm... good point.
Now I'm wondering what sorts of things bomb disposal people are trained to recognize as bombs. But I suppose that info is secret.
While only a small amount of explosive can be enough to bring down a plane, a much larger amount of explosives would be needed to bring down a building or bridge. Or is that not a distinction that the bomb disposal people would make?

Weird. But glad it isn't a thumbeating infection from Mars!

Made me laugh too!
Doctor: There you go Mac, that'll get you all fixed up. Turns and looks as msbelle sternly. And you missy, don't go poking yourself with sharp objects! Also, soak your thumb.

The people who placed them shot videos of the devices being placed. They did it at night, and used telescoping poles to place the devices. The devices had magnets on the back so they just needed to be placed against metal. It actually only took a few seconds for them to place each device, and considering that they did it at night they could easily look to make sure no one's watching for the few seconds it took.

While I know that viral marketing is all the rage these days, if this marketing plan was in any way examined or approved by the executives, I do NOT understand how anyone looking over the plan didn't think, even for a millisecond, that it needed to be run by Legal, and that they definitely needed to get permits and the like from each city in question, even if it also never occured to anyone that they might be mistook for bombs.
