saw a news story about the danger of keyless ignitions, seems a small
subset of the drivers often forget to actually hit the start/stop button
to actually turn the car off. One woman said that this happened to her
and she woke up to her kids screaming headache, deciding to take the kid
to the ER she opened the garage door and was overwhelmed by the fumes
after having left the car run for 5 hours.

Aside from the fact that this indicates a pretty bad problem with
isolating the garage from the house properly or that in five hours she
never heard the car running, the real question is: could a car run for 5
hours in a "sealed" garage?

I would expect the car might overheat or run out of oxygen. So, how long
could you expect a car to run in a "sealed" garage?

If it was a start stop engine, I could understand the owner not realising
it was "on", but then it wouldn't be running.

If it wasn't a start stop engine, then she would have heard the engine
running when she got out, surely? Unless she's deaf, she has no excuse.

While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossible
goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any account
of a "god gene" that causes the majority of Americans to helplessly
organize their lives around ancient works of religious fiction must explain
why so many inhabitants of other First World societies apparently lack such
a gene. The level of atheism throughout the rest of the developed world
refutes any argument that religion is somehow a moral necessity. Countries
like Norway, Iceland, Australia, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium,
Japan, the Netherlands, Denmark and the United Kingdom are among the least
religious societies on Earth. According to the United Nations' Human
Development Report (2005) they are also the healthiest, as indicated by
measures of life expectancy, adult literacy, per capita income, educational
attainment, gender equality, homicide rate and infant mortality.
Conversely, the 50 nations now ranked lowest in
terms of human development are unwaveringly religious.

I find it amusing that those elite atheist European countries have allowed
themselves to be invaded by crazy religious people. Perhaps they should have
paid attention to the imam who announced that,"We will conquer Europe through
the wombs of our women." You denigrate religious people yet you're allowing
violent religious wackos to come right on in and set up shop in your
countries. You're getting what you deserve. ^_^

and yet the vast majority of (multiple) homicides in the US are
committed by christians...obviously we should stop allowing christian
immigration, or maybe we are just getting what we deserve

No, you should stop giving every Tom Dick and Harry a gun.

Einstein married his cousin, Elsa Lowenthal, after his first marriage failed in 1919.
At the time he stated that he was attracted to Elsa "because she was so well endowed".
He postulated that if you are attracted to women with large breasts, the attraction is even stronger if there is a DNA connection.
This came to be known as.... Einstein's Theory of "Relative Titty."
