		<description><![CDATA[A while back, I thought of two numbers that can be calculated using their digits: 25 = 52 and 127 = 27-1. Are there any others? At the time, I concluded that there aren&#8217;t, but I don&#8217;t remember everything I went through to decide that. For now, I&#8217;ll record the idea here to ensure it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I recently moved one of my CD racks out by my computer, and picked my favorite 100 CDs to put in it. The rest stay in the bedroom where they&#8217;re less accessible. The process of shuffling all those CDs around reminded me of one of the really annoying things about CD racks&#8211;unless you don&#8217;t bother [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s my proposal for a phonetic spelling system for English.
1) The only time letters might be doubled is when a vowel sound is held out long, for example, the end of &#8220;Utah&#8221;.
2) Many schwas are not represented by a letter&#8211;if there&#8217;s really a vowel sound in there, we don&#8217;t punt and call it a schwa, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[English spelling is so busted, it sometimes amazes me that the language has been so successful. Take the letter &#8220;a&#8221; for example. Notice how it&#8217;s pronounced differently in each of the following words:
At
About
Father
Aim
Okay, there&#8217;s a rule for the last one: &#8220;when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking.&#8221; Aha, so all of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Rather than simply dropping the Hubble Space Telescope out of orbit and letting it burn up in the atmosphere, NASA should pull it into the the space shuttle&#8217;s bay on its next flight, bring it back to earth, and sell it, piece by piece, on eBay!

		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s a great gift for someone suffering from empty nest syndrome: baby sounds on CD. One full our of laughs, gurgles, jabbering, and yes, crying, screams and tantrums. The idea is not to fill their home with the familiar sounds of yesteryear, but to remind them of how lucky they are to live in such [...]]]></description>

The show would start with, for example, fifteen competitors and fourteen judges. At the end of each show, the judges would kick somebody off. After each show, the audience would go online to vote one of the [...]]]></description>
