The animated Tv show from the 80's, of course. The movie was a disappointment.

I mention it because Aeon, the female scientist/superspy/clone, is capable of doing her job and being nice....at least nice to those not trying to kill her. Capable of being impossibly good at her job and being a loving, caring partner. Capable of unraveling the labyrinthine, convoluted, outrageously sci-fi conspiracies while wearing heels and latex and looking sexy as Hell doing it.
If Ripley is the exception to the rule, what is Aeon, who ignores all these rules?

When I was a child, my school would have every child buy balloons to release together by the thousands with our names and the school's phone number, and whoever's balloon was reported from the farthest caller got some minor prize.
Today I understand how insanely wrong that is, littering most of Texas with latex and plastic, most of which wouldn't be recovered.....for busy work/entertainment.
Please don't be a part of an intentional balloon releases of any size, but especially not with Mylar balloons.

Just like the Duke story.

Woman can destroy you life with 3 words. He raped me.

This bitch ruined these kids lives.

You think his next date will be a latex device?

This stuff is pretty damn scary too, IMHO :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimethylmercury

a few drops will absorb through latex gloves within seconds, but kill you in a very agonizing way (mercury poisoning) several months later. After death of Karen Wetterhahn, it's lab usage is not recommended.

A latex balloon bio-degrades about as fast as an oak leaf. A birds' most-likely smart enough not to swallow one whole.
No lady, you are passionately mistaken. It takes less time for the latex to degrade in salt water the temperature being a non-issue. Admittedly though, it's a waste of helium and a balloon for the sake of video game software and it might choke a few seagulls, none of which will be missed, as San Fran has seen such an explosive rise in their numbers since being placed on the over-protected list, that they are encroaching on the habitats of less fortunate and more endangered species.

Fucking Californians. Heads-shoved-up-one's-own-ass-disorder seems to flourish there like barnacles on a ship's hull.

2 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

isnt the hiv virus like 10 times smaller than the pores in the latex that they use in condoms? or did they fix that issue?

There used to be a magician at Knott's Berry Farm that demonstrated this trick pretty close to the audience and then explained that he had trained for years to create the pathway through his body for the sword to pass through.

The arm is particularly easy because of how the muscles are arranged around the bone. It passes right below the biceps. Not much going on in this particular, dare I say "easy" to pull off location of bloodless stabbiness.
I don't know if the Knott's magician is still there or not, but it was a "magic" show that explained the science behind older, more simplistic tricks like this.

Also included were lots of different types of electricity stunts (static electricity, powering light bulbs through people, etc.), which have fallen to the wayside with magicians because most people nowadays understand electricity and it's not as gut wrenching as this scar tissue build up dealio.

I upvoted for Ricky's reactions and David'd ridiculous goading, but the trick itself is le sigh.

The magician at Knott's had a fairly visible scar on both sides of his arm, as he likely performed the trick A LOT. Serious needle mark action. lol. Blaine probably rarely performs this trick and perhaps used other material, like make up, latex or some such material, glue, creams, etc.

Solution: Ladies, stuff a latex dildo in your jogging shorts before going-out and keep a collection of fake mustaches and gum spirits on the cosmetic table.

Wait, so him making a pussy from a latex glove is cool, but the second he puts his tongue on it, everyone freaks out like he's suddenly nasty?

i guess i'm just one of those peeps who will prob never have enough of ninja's, girls in latex, and mutant heroes who, at the very least, have enough character flaws to provide bits of emotional depth.
stoked!

Like the vid, but the title should be a bit more factual. All I saw was an old man not afraid of a snake. For all we know, he might be afraid of a doctor with a purple latex glove

The balloon is basically vulcanised rubber, or more commonly known as latex. The lasers I work with have certain interractions with the water content in silicon fibres. Different wavelengths (colours) react differently within different fibres.

1550nm for example sits just on the absorbtion point of water in silicon, so it loses quite a lot of its energy along a fibre due to that water absorbtion in non-pure fibres. 1310nm lasers however dont have this issue, and can hold their signal for far greater distances.

Different coloured lasers, interacting differently with the exact same material.

One has its energy absorbed, one doesnt.

.....im guessing a similar principle occurs here.

(Im in telecoms if you hadnt guessed )

Two comments:
1) That's quite a logo.
2) This is a lot lower tech than I had imagined... I'm not quite sure what I expected, but it wasn't dipping glass dongs into a pot of latex.

Jello Biafra once said that politicians should all wear clown suits.
Bankers should all have to wear one of those latex masks with a dildo instead of a mouth-hole~
