That's a good time!

Chebyshev's polynomial!
The Scrabble points were flying once again this weekend as east coast leaders Steve and Ken, out of touch with reality and sneezey, racked up a combined score well in excess of 600 points.

Elmwood - Body, used, for parts

Hives and a burning stomach?
I think I'm broken.
I'm putting my body up on Freecycle.

Burj Dubai

Great Shankman's Tilt-a-Whirl! That's a monster building!

The finished height is being kept a secret but rumor has it that it will approach 3000 feet!

It's half-built and it's taller than the Sears tower.


In the same 6-year time Dubai has done this we've managed to completely almost start re-construction at the WTC site.

Houston, me have problem

I think it's reading our lips.
I'm not sure this thing even IS a computer.

2007

The computer told me to "Take a pill".
I think it means that figuratively.

Is something happening?

Seriously, is anyone doing anything?
It's really quiet in here, even with the headphones off.
All I can hear is the sound of the air handler.
The computer is becoming paranoid and moody.
I think it wants to kill us.

This isn't a popularity contest

Today I'm announcing my intention to remove humans from areas where I feel they endanger wildlife and the biodiversity we require to maintain a habitable and enjoyable planet.
-Tropical South America
-Madagascar
-Central Africa
These humans will be forcibly relocated, at their own expense, to the unpopulated and significantly less biodiverse central regions of North America and Asia.

Furthermore I am launching a preemptive campaign of global genetically-engineered viral sterilization of males and females, rendering more than 99% of the world's populous incapable of reproduction.
A complex, broad range of genetic markers have been favorably selected in such a fashion as to insure the genetic diversity of those remaining breeders.

I'd like to thank my friends the cheetahs, manta rays, and corals for their contribution to this plan.

Destroy the evil forces of the Gefiltecons

That's one long ass movie Michael Bay.
144 minutes of fighting giant toy robots is much worse even than it sounds - felt like 200 minutes.
I don't think I'd ever see it again but there must be some happy Transformers geeks out there someplace. Fun enough, at least as good as Armageddon and no Aerosmith!

People having fewer children

I saw this sign that said
"Every 20 minutes a child is born with autism"
and I thought "If people had half as many children that would only happen every ten minutes."

So much for the public school system right?
