“I haven't really read anything about them other than the news stories (which don't go into any sort of technical details) so I don't know if they're a lot or not.... I'm just concerned about it in case it IS a lot. Additionally, ionizing radiation tends to be cumulative, so we've got to be concerned about those who travel a lot and those who work with the machines....

As for levitation with magnetism, they did that with a frog about a decade ago, but I haven't seen anything else about it.... It'd take a lot for a human though...”

“A metal detector exposes you to a small amount of MAGNETIC radiation. This machine will expose to you a small amount of X-RAY radiation. Of the two, one can kill, and the other can do nothing until it's at a level high enough to levitate you.”

“Looks like similar ingredients contained in nearly everything that we buy and eat in our "processed and preserved" society. Small wonder that we are experiencing an epidemic of obesity, autism, diabetes, and a host of other health-related problems. Welcome to the 21st century.”

“Just give me a tablespoon of dioxin, it'll be quicker... ;)”

“You can only do it if you really want it, or are trained to do it. It helps to be young and fearless.”

“sure. but it might also destroy the inner ear and render one deaf.

pour warm wax into the ear??!”

“In Jessica's case, it is also taking out what's left of her brain.”

“Gimme a break. Y'know, not everyone is a sex offender. I let my 11 year old cousin climb all over me without a second thought. There is nothing untoward about a child showing affection to an adult in the appropriate venue, and given the perceived "miraculous" nature of the event, I imagine Ashlyn is quite drawn to the fellow who apparently saved her life.
Miracles notwithstanding, I believe we've reached a point culturally where we're afraid to embrace (literally and figuratively) the tendency for children to seek physical approval/tenderness. Apart from the .001% of the population who might view a preteen behaving in such a way as somehow sexual in nature, in my opinion there is nothing wrong with that manner of physical contact, especially given the context of the situation. This man has acted in a archetypal masculine manner to save the life of an innocent child, and Ashlyn's physicality should be viewed in the same innocent, archetypal way. I see no sense in which it would be off color if the gender of either the "car lifter" or the child were switched.
Turn the fear-mindedness off for a second and recognize the bond between one who may well have died and the one who stepped in to rescue her. Consider the intense emotional experience it must have been to the child and, having no station in life, physical affection is her one method of repayment for the service he performed.”

“It's just "grateful exuberance" because he freed her from under a car--nothing to worry about. My two goofy nieces, when they were about this girl's age and I was in my early 30s, sometimes used to climb on me, though in their case it was more of a coordinated attack, and there was no funny business going on.”

“Boundary issues? Jeebus F Krist!”

“I think it's like Brian Wilson (Beach Boys) mom suggested, People give off vibrations. Good people give off Good Vibrations and others are attracted to that.

This guy is humble, he's not trying to build himself up for what he did. Of course he's giving off good vibrations and kids are attracted to that.”

“you are a sick minded individual. The man a friend of her fathers who has a daughter that is her friend PICKED UP A CAR and moved it off a little girl. I can imagine she feels very protected around him and also there is all the attention and excitement, the news people, being on TV etc”

“Well, I don't know. She did have some pretty unusual injuries -- so you think those are made up too?”

“Different strokes I guess. That kind of behavior is commonplace and acceptable in my circle of friends. Nothing at all creepy about it in my opinion. Especially as the girl now views him as a hero.”

“like i said, i don't know, people have different cultural values, i know if i did that as a kid someone would have said what the he.ll are you doing to that man, leave him alone, and i'm not that old (27)

and if a kid did that to me i would be very uncomfortable, maybe that's just how i grew up, in a society where you want to keep appearances as safe looking as possible

it's just a vibe i got, and after i saw the video, i went through the comments and was honestly expecting most people to be commenting on that vibe, and saw none, so i posted my comment, i guess i'm just weird...i suppose i'm a bit like david sedaris in his story called "chicken in the henhouse" in case anyone knows that reference”

“I hate to say it but I felt the same as you did about her "exuberance".”

“Hahahaha”

“Not the same.
Levi was involved with Bristol for a long time including during the pregnancy and has a relationship with Trap/Trick/Truck?.
As was Jude with his ex, Sadie. This "model" Jude met in a NYC nightclub and had a fling with is a different story. It was over before she discovered she was pregnant. He was already back in UK with his family. It doesn't sound like the baby is part of his life. Now if his older three with whom he was (more likely) by Sadie's side during the pregnancy (first two only I think), attended ob visits, ultra sound, birth, changed diapers, gave bottle, shagged their babysiter, etc. if he forgot one of those kids, that would be a bigger deal.”

“Most fans deliberately forget the pill.”

“How about vistide (cidofovir)”

“Strictly speaking: If your interested in the costs of food during the recession and need to cut calories. Cutting soda out of your diet for water is the easy answer.”

“Jeremy Piven attributed his manb00bz to too much soy milk.

Me, I like the taste of rice milk.”

“you didn't read”

“Silly you! I was in college in the '60s and we wore flip-flops in the shower then, too. It was to avoid getting athlete's foot and other such bacterial goodies. Same is true today.”
