Saw this on one of the Science! blogs I read: A lamp that runs on human blood. Except it’s not really Science!, as the maker says its to force the user “to rethink how wasteful they are with energy, and how precious it is.”
Science! is supposed to make our lives easier, and a one use lamp that you have to bleed into is not making things easier when flashlights and batteries are cheap and plentiful. It is not Science!, it is a hippie art project, and I am offended at it being presented as Science!. I guess what scientists really need is some sort of Science! device that can identifies hippies so they can toss them out of the sciencetorium where their important Science! — stuff involving lasers and radio waves — is done.
Science! is important — it’s made us DVDs, bottle rockets, and car cup holders — so we can’t have hippies twisting it around and making it useless.
How enlightening. Well, liberals could use it once as a suicide lamp. It might be the only chance they get to “go into the light.”
I volunteer to measure the output lumens/ounce of liberal blood.
I can’t get to that link, it’s filled with the trojan virus “Exploit-CVE2007” according to McAfee.
So much for science!
Its a LAMPire!
Leave it to the left to develop something that sucks human blood for no useful purpose. In art, this is called a self portrait.
hippies should stick with smoking pot, dropping acid and stop messing with science and making the world a worse place.
A needless device that sucks the life blood out of someone? Just like any other liberal concept or program. Now if the liberals REALLY want to make a useful lamp, how about one that runs on B.S. The liberals have plenty of that !!
How many hippies would I have to juice to run my house? And can I run my hippie juicer on hippie blood too?
Live Science is to the physical sciences what Mother Jones is to the natural sciences.
I don’t like the idea. Why not souls instead?
This may be a breakthrough. Think about it? An actual use for the heretofore thought useless hippie? I consider this an alternative renewable energy source.
Hmmm… didn’t lamps used to run on oil?
NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!! NO BLOOD FOR OIL!!!!!!!!
“An actual use for the heretofore thought useless hippie?”
I think Soylent Green would be a much better use – more bang for your hippie buck!
I second the motion. I’m in favor of lamps that run on hippie blood, and refrigerators full of hobo bacon. My only question is which one we make the lampshade out of – the hippie or the hobo.
Gullyborg, you are welcome to make Soylent Green from rancid old hippies if you want. Ick.
Anytime a hippie bleeds for me to have light is a good thing.
If a hippie dies to heat my house, it is a good thing.
If a hippie decreases their carbon foot print by bleeding to heat my house, give him a knife.
Everytime a hippie dies, an angel get its wings.
Everytime a hippie dies, my sports car gets one more gallon of gas from the oil that seeps from it greasy hair.
Everytime a hippie dies, humanity gets closer to fulfilling its potential.
Keith, the lampshade would have to be the hippie, the hobo’s skin is tougher and has more uses.
Stupid hippie, what planet does he live on? “…if energy somehow came at a cost to us…”
Every time I pay the Electric bill, I’m reminded that energy comes at a cost to me.
Every time I pay the Gas bill, I’m reminded that energy comes at a cost to me. Etc., etc., etc.
‘An English designer based in the Netherlands’, figures that a Euro-Trash Hippie would come up with this.
Thank you Frank, for bringing this to our attention. The Suicide Hotline will now have to ask, “Are you trying to slash your wrist, or trying to light the hippie light?”
I’m still a bigger fan of thermal depolymerization with liberal hippie bodies & other forms of trash. Seriously, they’re much more useful that way and in all practicality, if I want to get bio-light from a leftard, I’ll just light his or her greasy ass on fire.
I would like to waste some of my energy beating that particular smelly science hippy witha frozen beafsteak duct taped to the end of a axe handle.
Now now, we can’t keep hippies out of Science! We need test subjects and I hate to see mice suffer.
Can it run if there is bits of bone and pulp in there, cuz we could just chuck them into a big juicer.
Pretty soon, Al Gore’s house is going to run on the blood of freshly aborted babies.. or euthanized seniors.
Heck, you could get as much light by collecting a mason jar full of fire-flies. Using hippies as an alternative energy source brings to mind the bio-energy pods in the Matrix. Just tickle the hippies pleasure centers at regular intervals and they’d beg for the chance to live the sweet life as a do-nothing, know-nothing, produce-nothing, no worries, no guilt post-human living battery. As long as the dam computers don’t get uppity and try to take over, and the “serving the greater good” crowd are the first to volunteer for battery duty, I don’t see a down side!
Frank, on second thought, Crusty has a good point. I’d like to suggest you table your thesis about hippies staying out of science. They and their liberal parents could be used for all kinds of self-inflicted testing.
This sort of shit holds up research on real Science projects like Dinosaurs with rocket launchers
Well, to a hippie, science is whatever a failed presidential candidate says it is.
Another thing, we can use hippies for that NASA project to put the first man on the Sun.
I love IAMO, even though I still don’t know what it stands for; However, this is an old story from Moonbattery, and they got it from someone else.

I don’t mean to offend. But I was called the thread winning comment there (which doesn’t happen often).
1. Buy blood bulb.
2. Slash wrists.
3. ????
4. Light!
Best thing I learned from there was horseradish will do the same thing as the blood. But don’t anyone tell the liberals, ok?
Frank, you really need to proof-read before posting.
#26 – Eric,
Top of the page, left column, “About IMAO”. You’re welcome.
Oh, and congratulations.
Didnt you guys run a chick who thinks life was like the Flintstones 5000 years ago?
Correction: Just (promise) to tickle the hippies pleasure centers … once they’re plugged in, just play a closed loop of a DVD of the ‘It’s a Small World’ ride from Disneyland and the Beatles ‘Yellow Submarine’ and they’ll be fine. Adam – your pod is ready!
