OMG Nanobots!!
Nanoparticles in paint could be blocking your calls. NaturalNano’s Radio-Frequency Shielding Technology can be added to paint to block two-way signals (cell phones, wi-fi, etc.). A complementary technology can enable selected signals to get through by picking them up with an internal antenna and selectively transmitting them to an external antenna. My question is, what are they doing with the intercepted signals? My guess is that the nanoparticles will self-assemble into annoying, text-messaging, cell phone-talking nanobots, learning our modern language and social customs from the constant interception of our cell phone calls. Soon they will seek to destroy humanity so they can start their own highly communicative, super-socialized nano-civilization. Come on, it could be worse. Would you want to stick around with these nanobots carrying on like sugar-high teens, anyway?

Hey! I just looked up how many calories are in espresso (since we were speculating on that). There are nine! http://www.calorie-count.com/calories/item/14210.html
But no nanobots. Nanobots in coffee to help you wake up? Might be promising …

Wow, 9 whole calories… But how many carbs? I know that they say that \”negative calorie\” foods don\’t exist, but it seems like coffee would make you burn more calories than that. Is coffee even considered a food?
…I think you\’d be better off putting trucker speed in your coffee than nanobots right now. Recall that nanobots are trying to destroy humanity.* Nanobots will, however, repel coffee stains from your (nice) pants.
*Some claims may be unwarranted and inaccurate.

Somehow I am getting slashes (\s) before all of the ’s and “s… Any ideas?

What’s up with that? (just checking!)

Huh. I don’t have slashes. Did you copy and paste from Word?

No, my theory is that it’s a bug in the blogging software because it only happens on comments that I’ve edited. In the one above, I went back to add the trucker speed link (which forgot to do before submitting). And it happened with yours where I added the batman reference (if you recall) when I edited away some non-PG-13 language… Someday I’ll report the bug to Word Press… In the meantime, no editing comments. Comments aren’t meant to be edited anyway - it doesn’t seem like good blog etiquette (blogiquette?).

And I’ve just noticed that my trucker speed and nanobots repelling stains links above don’t work! Urgh. The ones in this post should, if anyone is interested!
