Windy - I think it's underlining them because they're double-plus-ungood.

And I want to see the human cryonics demonstration. Is that like what CC does?

Anybody that f.o.s. is reaching for someone's throat, their wallets, or both at the same time.

They should save time, cut to the chase, and all drink cyanide-laced Kool-Aid now, while the logistics are simple.

Glad to see you guys picked up on all the major points I saw.

The good news, they are a self funded foundation that does not seek outside funding (for their wackiness).

I personally think it is a feel good about being married to a M to F sex changed "it" as well as having that "it" feel good about becoming a machine where gender won't matter.

Most likely specific to your browser, though it does the same in mine. I find the spellcheck dictionary in Firefox to be slightly lacking. Firefox doesn't have it, but Chrome does.

I'm using Chrome here. It seems to find them objectionable, or at least unrecognized. I'll check Firefox when I get home.
The use of the word "but" usually indicates that everything preceding it in a sentence is a lie.
E.g.:
"I believe in Freedom of Speech, but". . .
"I support the Second Amendment, but". . .
