Where's Waldo, Pentagon/DARPA edition

So some smart lad at the Pentagon asks the question, "Hey how long would it take a group of people to discover the locations of 10 randomly placed balloons, scattered all over the US, using only the internet and social networking sites?"

Answer: 9 hours.

9. Hours.

NINE. HOURS.

THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES.

HOURS.

Freaking-a. In honor of the Wandering One, the Lost One must exclaim, "All hail the mighty engineers."

Update: Saw this post on people scamming Airline miles. Freaking Awesome.

Thanks Science!

Science! Once more with the helpful. Headline:

"Refusing whooping cough vaccine shown to raise risk" (Of getting whooping cough)
O'rly? Until next time.

Science! Strikes Again.

Any long term readers of the Lost One's other blog (of which there where none) know that the Lost One has a love/hate relationship with Science! No not, science. Science! the self important article that is released absolutely proving something we usually already knew at a cost of have a mint to the tax payer. It's almost always, overly expensive, and a way to make sure some PH.D candidate is making the jump to full professor. While these stories tend to be fun, they are usually insultingly obvious.

Still...

So, in the spirit of finding the funny the Lost One announces the newest finding of Science!

Kissing a Lover makes you feel good.

Any bets it took them $5 million plus to come to that conclusion? No? Oh, well until next time.
