I read it as "Will children born in 2012 be noncryptic?" And the other side of my brain thought "Why should they be, no other children ever are!"Will children born in 2012...

I've read "Getting fly strip adhesive off of cat fur?" as "Getting flight strip adhesive off of cat fur?". I got this mental image of planes landing on emergency runways covered with glue to allow for very short runways. Then I realized my mistake.

Everytime I see the Q&A thread title Slow Space Travel I think "why, is space travel going too fast?".

Isn't there a rule against bashing members like that...

Not a thread title, but I saw a headline in which a bunch of people were killed by Spanish food. They were actually killed by a Spanish flood.
I wish I knew all those years ago that simply joining this board and proclaiming myself to be rational would magically transform my uninformed opinions into science; it would have saved me a lot of time and effort.

"Curious surface operations" ... Try-before-you-buy plastic surgery ops?
I've almost been killed by Spanish food on Tenerife. Food poisoning... It did cause what might be called a Spanish flood, which I won't get into (haha).

Better odds for panspermia?
Read as Butter odds for panspermia?

I read it correctly, but every time I think, "Hmm, double the probability of a zero probability event..."
Hmm, butter on saltine crackers. (Drool.)Read as Butter odds for panspermia?

I've always thought that the word "panspermia" is a funny sounding word. I think it would be fun to ask people, who didn't know it, what it meant.

"An alternate way to the Moon"
I read this and think of some fellow on the side of a country road giving directions to the Moon: "OK, you're going to head down this side-road about 15,000 kilometers till you come to this old red barn. Make a left there and keep going till you pass the crick..."
