That's why they are selling ON-STAR. The terrorists are coming, and you could be in an accident!
I think Americans are paranoid in general. Remember how deet was dangerous for your health; but now we've got WEST NILE!! Bathe your children in deet!
I feel that this topic is different though... its a matter of CYA and being aware of where your information goes.
I check my credit report once a year too... Paranoid...? No, just would rather someone else be the easy target. Its a game of low hanging fruit. |

Damn, my low hanging fruit has much more to do with age and gravity than bragging rights. |

Now why is aluminum supposed to deflect alien beams and stuff when it's such a good conductor of everything else???

Excellent posts, Nate.
Lot's of people forget their high school physics and forget that an AFDB is really nothing more than a lightweight, mobil, Faraday cage, and as such, requires a really good ground.
If you look carefully at my photo, you can just see a black grounding wire attached to my black Arai helmet, just over my left shoulder.
Sorry I forgot to mention that in my first post.
Good grounding is always a must when working with electricity, whether it is making sure that you have a good ground from the battery to the frame on your Buell or when you want to get serious about Anti-Phsycotonics.
Must of been some spurious radiation or something, if you know what I mean.

Yeah, it's a little yellow bird native to the South Pacific. Its legs are two inches long and the male of the species.....well his balls hang down three inches. Every time he lands it is said you can hear him cry "Uuh!-Uuh! |

HaHa, never heard that one.
My wife works in a hospital, and one day she came home and told me of an older patient who "sat on his testicles". He was in the hospital because he had some low hanging fruit.
I don't know what's worse. Having my balls hang low enough to sit on them; sitting on my balls; or having to explain to the nurse why I'm walking so funny.
That's a true story from the ER. |

I have SEEN some RETRACTABLE plates... toggled by a switch on the air duct tube or the dash console...

Well one of my buddies got his banana fruit caught in between his tire and his brakes while in the air on his mountain bike up in Whistler. He used to brag how the lord had endowed him with such bountiful fruit. Well sometimes fruit gets picked from the tree, especially if it is hangin' too low.
For any of you mountain bike freaks, the guy was Cory Leclerc who was once on the cover of Bike magazine. He is a ding-a-ling. |

An MIT experiment proved that foil hats actually improve conductivity by the Freq's the CIA uses. Skull cap, dunce cap & boat style origami hats were tested.
If the faraday cage is not complete & grounded it does not work right.
Besides, the NSA mind control experiments prove..... there were no experiments, there is nothing to worry about, we return to your regular programming.....beep. |

WHY BLUR YOUR LICENSE PLATE
In 1989, Robert John Bardo paid $250 to a Tucson detective agency to obtain Actress Rebecca Schaefer's home address from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. He shows up, knocks on the door. She answers, and is shot and killed.
An extreme example I know. A few years ago in the state of Colorado, $3 and a plate number would get you the registrants address from the DMV.
Lot of damn nut cases in the world, and the internet makes stalking pretty easy. I erase my plate, don't post my full name online, or even my correct birthdate (ID theft is tough without it). Guess I'm just paranoid....gotta go...Black Helicopter is circling overhead ;) |

Coal - you'll love this. Cory happens to be a bit of a know it all. This incident happened in '98, before most bikes had dual discs. Well I had the first Cove Stiffee with dual discs made and he thought what a waste to have dual discs on a hard tail. To think getting your junk caught in between the cantilevers and the tire would be a valid argument never occurred to me. The irony as I look back on this is heart warming. |

I run into nut cases pretty regularly in my line of work, and that's why I blur out my plate. Also, it's worth noting that I'm an a$$hole, and my internet anonymity prevents me from being punched in the face. |

Freez,
No doubt most know-it-alls are skeptics on everything 
I used to be a know-it-all until I started forgetting more than I knew...
My first experience with disc brakes was with a Spec FSR Enduro that my girlfriend (at the time) was neighbors with. I made fun of the guy for buying a $2000 "bob-cycle" till I rode it.
I was so impressed that I decided to take it down the single at the end of the street.
Needless to say, I returned the bike and was admitted to the ER the next day with what turned out to be a dislocated shoulder Those brakes stop real well... I'm reminded, just how well, every time a throw a football. |
