Out of the Blue

Some movement in the background here, as today's Tech Bits features some contributions from someone who may be helping expand our coverage in that area as we go forward... we may even see the return of PM Tech Bits (as heady as that may sound). Also, we were able to revert the server back to its native Eastern Time yesterday, after running on Greenwich Mean Time for a few days there, the only side effect of this was how messageboard posts started showing up out of order until the four hour time difference was accounted for.

Link of the Day: Monty Python and the Holy Grail in Lego. A link we've been sent at least a hundred times, but this time it actually worked when I checked it. Thanks EvilToast (and the other 99 of you).
Story of the Day: Romania has no stake in Dracula. "The discovery means Romanians will have to pay royalties to Universal Studios for creating a Dracula theme park." Thanks dukui-san.
Media of the Day: The Top 10 Ugliest Couches in America. Thanks Ant.
Wild Science: Identifying terrorists before they strike. "Brain fingerprinting"? Thanks Nick Hiltner.
Wild Science II: No hiding place for anyone. On a note related to the above. Thanks [MP] Wolverine [MP].

In the article it gives examples of some questions. The questons didn't seem very commonplace. And say you DID get a worse score because of that.. and you were getting on a plane.... it doesn't say you would definatley be subdued... it just says that it would amount to more marshals being on that flight. You know, when it comes down to it, I'd rather have a security profile for me (which CAN be anonymous...) on file than have another world trde center incident. I don't like when people get on their soapboxes and shoot down good ideas without offering a better idea of their own. "FIX IT!" "Okay, here's how!" "NO NOT THAT WAY! A DIFFERENT WAY!"
