they used to put ppl with fevers in the fridge, i though it didn't work?

Boobies! This does not seem safe.

oooh! 1 st Boobies!

:p

"We can rebuild him. We have the technology."

"Yeah, but can he overclock to 150%?"

Nice, that means I can overclock my kids without them melting, wicked!

leave the brats in the snow for gawd's sake

Resistance is Futile.

I guess the satire tag called in sick.

Now if only they can figure out how to defrag brains... I'd be set!

I love the filters here at Fark.

Now I want cooling technology. The biological system I currently have stinks.

Boobies! This does not seem safe.

oooh! 1 st Boobies!

:p

You both suck. NOBODY CARES, MORONS.

?

If there was a way to make BBSpot funny, I'd be all for that.

I think its the same design they used at 3 mile island.

oh, satire. i see

/didn't RTFA in rush to the Boobies

Who wants to overclock them?!?!

I want to underclock them!!!!!!

I hope you both are prepared for the banination that should be headed your way.

And BBSpot just isn't funny. At all. They should give up. I don't understand why this shiat is routinely linked on Fark.

When I had a temperature as a kid, my mum used to wrap wet towels around my legs. Did the job and works a lot better - as you don't want to cool down the head, but the blood. So something with a decent surface area and veins close to the skin will do a lot better. I have three kids and wouldn't recommend cooling down the forehead ....

Churchill2004: they used to put ppl with fevers in the fridge, i though it didn't work?



It doesn't. It lowers the skin temperature but not the core temperature, and they shiver like crazy.

So I guess my mom was retro geek when she put ice cubes in a towel on my head?

I smell satire here...

yeah, but can they shoot wasps out of their asses?

wilderbeest, my mom went with the sweat the fever out thing. She'd wrap me up in so many blankets. Sucked like hell. Now I just let them go their own course. Although, I haven't had one in forever.

Hmmm...I use my old giant CPU heatsink to thaw frozen meat. You can defrost a steak about 30 percent faster just by plopping the 'sink on top of it. It's kind of neat watching the fins frost up right away.

/heat transfer goes both ways!

Most of these satire sites should just stop at the picture. The text is usually downhill after that.

Eureka!

Being the nerd I am I at first thought perhaps this was legit.

Then reality said uhh no.

Especially once I read "I feel much better smearing thermal paste on their forehead and strapping on a Zalman"

xterraguy: I smell satire here...

Was it the "Overclocked Jesus Performs Miracles Faster" article just below it that tipped you off?

My Grandma was super old fashioned geek, she would put us in a cool bath with about a dozen ice cubes for 15 minutes at a time.

leave the brats in the snow for gawd's sake

Although I can't say for fevers, taking a kid outside can be life-saving for asthmatics during an attack. *The more you know* and all that.

The picture made me chuckle. The rest of the article, not so much. Although the line about, "I hope my kids get sick all the time so I can try new stuff out." (paraphrased) got a smirk out of me.

1984 is Coming

I saw it on ER, so it must be true.

medicine!=technology ?

Oh, wait, it's bbspot. Nevermind

First off, Retardo, you have one of the best names on Fark today.

Second, I would say the same thing, but for a year now, 'Satire' posts have been generally neglected by the Fark approval team. Trust me, it's all I've been posting and haven't seen one greenlighted yet.

I mean, how can you not approve this?

Nealobus

id say it's because farkers always think they could of made better jokes themselves

'jeez, I can mock Bush, im not reading some college kid's smug knowing asshattery'

Did she steal your kidneys?

For high temperatures in children...



... I recommend carbonite.

Nealobus, except for the misspelling of scariest, that was awesome.

Looks like a camera on his head!

Cooling your kids is a great idea... but that doesn't make them not-sick. There's still something wrong in the body needs to be corrected, and putting a WC system on your child's head will not fix it.

I'm ashamed to admit I thought the article might have been a serious one. Then the page loaded.

you're supposed to let fevers run their course. cooling the kids will make the body overcompensate and fry their brain resulting in dermanent pamage. perhaps we need a 'cooking tips' tag?

The scary part is without the uniform and beret, Saddam now looks more like a college professor than a maniacal dictator.

Hell, keep the suit and give back the beret, then he's an art teacher.

Not to mention aside from the obvious roller-coaster appearance (which is remarkably funny), there's a secondary resemblence to them all being in cribs.

|Not so tough now, are ya?
||By the way, we killed the shiat out of your kids. Ha ha.

That's what dreams are for.

"No, dad, that's not a USB port!"

It can't be that TalkingBaseball is the only asshole in this thread to point out that BBSpot isn't funny. What the fark is wrong with you?

"They could barf up grape-flavored Motrin permanently staining the sheets, or the product could've been tampered with."

Nothing I hate more than "grape" colored barf. Why do they put purple food dyes in treatments for sick kids?

Bravo to DrForresterfor making me cringe and laugh at the same time.

poor choice: It can't be that TalkingBaseball is the only asshole in this thread to point out that BBSpot isn't funny. What the fark is wrong with you?


No no. mrtimo beat me to it.
