I noticed they don't x-ray babies. And if you're willing for your kids to 
die, why not?


Whaaaa! Whaaaaa!  Whaaaaa!  BAMF!

We have a really easy one, based on visible photons. It's called "take your 
clothes off."  Somehow, people don't want that one tho. People would 
actually rather die in flight than strip naked before a stranger.

You know what I've noticed? Nobody panics when things go "according to 
plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, I tell the press that, 
like, a gang banger will get shot, or a truckload of soldiers will be blown 
up, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when I say that 
one little old mayor will die, well then everyone loses their minds!

   Forget "focus follows mouse." When do
   I get "focus follows gaze"?
