When I scrolled over the link and saw the URL, my first thought was: how can a vacuum cleaner solve all Earth's problems?

And then I thought: yeah, but if it's one of those awesome vacuums that rolls around on a big ball instead of a bunch of little wheels, it just might WORK!

Did you really? Is it as awesome as it looks like it is?

They are so expensive though, I can't justify to myself putting that much into a vac given how little floor space I have.

The Dyson fans I've seen look neat too. A local place here has them on sale this week... the small one is $300.

I almost fell out of my chair laughing at the beautiful irony of it all! Is that a serious website or some kind of elaborate hoax?

Humans - the perfect candidates for extinction. Don't ask me why I think that, I don't want to rail on about what we take away and never return. Whether the website maintainers are serious or not, the 'message' is something that is in the human consciousness. I won't advocate voluntary extinction, but I really doubt the planet would suffer one bit if our kind died out. In fact, it had better happen soon or there won't be anything left here!

Watch out Enterprise! You might get sucked (tractor beamed) in. This is an old sci-fi concept. Harvest all of a Sun's energy in an enclosed sphere... Noit in my lifetime, or the next twelve generations I suspect.
