Yeah, I work next door to the immunology lab here. And across the hall from the blood and poop lab. All I can say is I'm glad I work in administrtion and not in the labs. And I know it's boring but, I chose the name at random when I came to this board, shortly after a dicussion about evolution, and someone had made a reference to the brainstem as the 'lizard brain'. I was amused by the reference - what he meant was the reptilian complex. I knew what he meant, but thought it was a funny reference and it stuck with me.

I just need to figure out how to get this alarm ankle bracelet off.

Why not just strangle the little bastard? Then you get to feel it die.

A freind of mine teaches kindergarten - he constantly has colds from those little germ incubators. Worst hygene habits around, little kids - picking their noses, sneezing in his face, nice of them to share...

But who's counting...

I stopped opening doors with my tongue. I figured it defeated the purpose of the hand-sanitizer.

At the hospital they tell us the dirtiest surfaces there are: -Our keyboards (They claim the toilet seats are cleaner, because they get sanitized every night, and most people use ass-gaskets), -The currency in the cash register in the cafeteria, -Doorknobs.

Custom made?

Even more scary when you WORK in a hospital - even just in administration. I run for the can and wash my hands every time I have to go to one of the labs, especially the microbiology lab (the 'blood and poop lab', as it is so aptly called), and I keep a jar of hand sanitizer on my desk.

A man walks into his bedroom with a goat under his arm. His wife is lying in bed. The man says "This is the pig I've been fucking behind your back." His wife says "That's not a pig, it's a goat." The man says "I wasn't talking to you."

I see my point was entirely over your lizard brain. Everytime some new bit of rescue tech, or even tech that could be used for a rescue like a cellphone, comes along some feeble minded soul bitches about it and claims some induced rescue effect. To date I've never seen any study substantiate this effect. P.S. Einstein, you did notice that my original post about this was a question, not 'bitching', as you put it. I don't know why you women take every post so personally.

Or not substatiate it either, I assume.

Thats not the entire purpose of the unit, but I guess your point is that it is still a rescue transponder. But then again, so is an Avalanche Beacon. Do you also think that carrying a beacon causes more deaths from Avalanches? No, I'm saying I bet some people will see this as a rescue transponder, and there will be some that will take more chances because of it, thinking "I don't need to worry, I have this trasnponder to take care of me if things go wrong." I'm not saying everyone will use it this way - I'm not planning on running out and buying one. But I'm saying I bet you'll see some people snuff it from reliance on external rescue than their own abilities.

How many people are going to die because of that new pair of running shoes? Going out, getting hit by cars, killing themselves all because those shoes let them push themselves Yeah, but the purpose of running shoes is not to get you rescued. The purpose of this unit is. I'm sorry if that point was over your head.

So are these things going to kill more people than they save? Who wants to bet that more people push on when they should turn back because they have one of these in their packs, thinking "It's okay, all I have to do is push a button, and the cavalry will come save me!" Are these going to wind up being "body locators"?

Looks to me like they're $149 for the unit, and $99 - $148 a year for the service (depending on which service), plus $25 'processing fee'.

"But as soon as you leave, they beat him up and take it from him. Mommy, you are so nice, but you are so silly!"

I'm in it for Noam Chomsky and Michael Feldman.

...Beats listening to you deadbeats bitch and moan about it.

Yes, and this is what makes one day climbs more appealing... and easier to get away with. And coming home bloody and exhausted - just like some parties I've been to...

Is she aware of the teams of climbing nymphs hunting the Cascades for unsuspecting men to ravage?

Heh! I read your last post and was about to respond - "Are you saying your wife's not hot?"
