The Lady on the Night Table

I found a half-inch copper torch on my bedside table.

Conclusion: nocturnal visitations by tiny Statues of Liberty.

Oh yeah, the Korean missile crisis

So North Korea has an ICBM it wants to test fire out over the Pacific.
Maybe it can reach the US.
Hey, no warhead on it, but still.
So El Presidente and his advisors are thinking maybe blow it up on the launchpad with a sub-launched cruise missile.
Anyone heard this?
Why is there NOTHING on the news?
They talk about the missile but no one is mentioning how we're likely to put the remote control boom-boom on the joint.
It might make the North Koreans or Chinese or South Koreans or Japanese and/or all humans somewhat nervous to hear about such a development.
I hope the World Cup is getting enough coverage.
"Zero to zero after an hour and a half of play."
Zzzzzz.

Straight to heaven

My one superpower, based on my weight, is that I can properly crush any box for recycling. Maximum - 3 feet by 3 feet.
This is the redeeming characteristic I'm expecting will get me into heaven.

Healthy competition

Countering recent price cuts by competitor Intel, AMD announced today it's new octuple-core processor architecture codenamed "Fejaslee Blowfane"
(fedge-uh-slee blow-fane)
In a press release, AMD stated that "This will assure we remain the vanguard of codenaming for the next several years."

New job keeping kids from hanging out in front of the drug store

This community college is sweet - crazy benefits, small department full of nutty intellectuals, casual clothes, nice office, speedy commute, non-harmful organization, lots of cool tech.
It's slow right now because it's summer so I'll have time to learn all their systems before major courses start in the fall. I hope I can groove here for a long time.
