I had to buy stamps recently. It was the worst. Nothing pushes me into full curmudgeon hack mode quite like standing in line at the post office. We ;re talking Andy Rooney/ Dave Barry lovechild super-curmudgeon. And don ;t even get me started on FedEx. Standing in line is so 20th century. That being said, there something charming about our antiquated postal service. People literally take letters and packages from one physical place and deliver them to another place. It pretty darn cute. In 1960 the future of electronic mail was still envisioned as an analog experiment. Arthur Radebaughstanley italia 8216 Closer Than We Think ran a panel on December 25, 1960 in which physical letters would be opened, scanned, beamed to space, returned to earth and reproduced where they would then be delivered to their final destination in the form of a small capsule. It was difficult for people to imagine a world without the postal service delivering some form of physical media, dead tree or otherwise. The October 4, 1958 edition of Radebaugh syndicated strip imagined jetpack mailmen of the future leaping from door to door in Suburbatopia, U.S.A. The strip explai stanley tumblers ns that because of its super-secret government technology they can ;t go into detail on how such a rocket pack might work, but rest assured, it ;ll make every mail carrier in town a regular Buck Rogers.

Wikipedia is probably the most impressive crowdsourced endeavor in history, but if you think that every little edit is being clacked out in the basement lair of some volunteer, you ;re way, way wrong. Wikipedia relies on an army of bots to keep the quality of articles high and trolls at bay. The BBC has a great look at the bots that buzz around behind the scenes of the mammoth encyclopedia. Consider ClueBot NG, which is used to detect vandalism on Wikipeida. It a sophisticated pr stanley thermoskannen ogram administered by five volunteers that uses algorithms鈥攏ot a li stanley cup st of dirty words鈥攖o detect when an illegitimate edit has been made to an article. According to its developers ClueBot NG catches 55% of all vandalism. Not bad! Bots are as old as Wikipedia itself, and they ;re absolutely necessary for its continuity. The encyclopedia is getting bigger every day, and as we pointed out last week, the number of human editors and admins is declining. Sure, maybe it a little troublesome that bots have so much control, but as the BBC points out, they ;re not allowed to write articles, and only admins with the highest privileges could send a bot out to de stanley vaso lete articles wholesale.

We poke fun of the TSA for being dumb but sometimes we forget that normal people do even dumber things. Like pack a grenade launcher in their carry on. Or try to bring a cannonball on board.

Just a week in the life of a TSA agent, I guess. Honestly, this list is almost as impressive as all of 2011. I mean, a cannonball These weapons were found in various airports across the country which means there are dumb people everywhere.
