TUESDAY #1942

I supposed the 22% don't have kids.
Wife predicted Terminus was cannibals. I said they were religious nutcases. We were both right.

Here's a couple of other tidbits...

 Blue screen magic...

World War II as a computer game...

The International Court of Justice ruled this morning that Japan's whaling program isn't actually contributing to scientific research, as that country has long claimed.

At least he's honest...

Studies suggest that if people eat different food than their neighbors do, people are more likely to kill each other.

Starting a dating site for people who just want someone to eat the parts of food they don't like.

Look on the bright side. With all the snow, you won’t have to dye the Easter eggs, and leaving them white will be a bitch to find.

 “David A. Noebel saw contemporary popular music as a Soviet plot to brainwash American youth. Unlike other religious critics of popular music, he backed up his analysis with references outside the Bible, using scholarly footnotes and quotations. His work was influential and widely adopted by later critics of rock music.”

Another trip to Fuckthatshitville....

Is it normal for my left nipple to be bigger than the other two?

"If the honeybee is a victim of natural menaces like viruses and unnatural ones like pesticides, it's worth remembering that the bee itself is not a natural resident of the continent.  It was imported to North America in the 17th century, and it thrived until recently because it found a perfect niche in a food system that demands crops at ever cheaper prices and in ever greater quantities.  That's a man-made mercantile ecosystem that not only has been good for the bees and beekeepers but also has meant steady business and big revenue for supermarkets and grocery stores."

My Internet went down and I had to spend time with the wife. She seems like a nice person.

Is there anyone on earth who hasn't touched the plate after the waiter told you it was hot?

Why you should never kick snow on a cat...

The infinity sign is known as a lemniscate.

I met a vegan who would only eat food that was CURRENTLY growing out of the ground. She would crawl around the garden grazing on herbs and shit.

It is NOT okay to masturbate to this image...

I'd like for cannibalism to be given leniency in murders, since it's less wasteful.

Dear Ladies,
Did it ever occur to you that you might have to run from an attacker one of these days?

Just wondering.

This remaining piece of a sculpture of a queen had an amazing story, but I lost it....sorry...

Nice lips. They always seem to get the lips right.

I still feel a little smug when I make a perfect signature.

Ouch!

My wife keeps her PMS unnoticeable by remaining psychotic all the time.

Wouldn't you like to know the decision making process of people who don't flush public toilets?

The folly of our specialness.

This makes us self aware...

There are many just like it, but ours is just a little bigger.
And because of that we get to live forever in paradise. Think about that.

Pastafarians. Pastafarians everywhere...

One Of My Very Own...

If I could remember which artist said it, this would probably be much more interesting, but some artist once said that he got blown away by watching the swirls of oil on a puddle of water. I submit that using that as inspiration is just as valid as a vase or a landscape.

Read this description today:

Nikon D4S boasts 409,600 ISO

With an ISO rating so high you may need a Neutral Density filter with the lens cap still on, the new Nikon D4S can take photographs of yesterday. From their promotional material: "up to ISO 25,600 (expandable to a mind-boggling ISO 409,600 equivalent at Hi4)" I don't know when I'd need this?

What is ISO?

ISO is the acronym for Intense Sunlight Orientation and it measures just how little sunlight, or light, the camera needs to take a photo. The higher the ISO the less light needed. So with an ISO of 409,600 means that it can be 409,600 times darker than high noon in Greenwich during the Vernal equinox and still take a photo of a bunny.

During sex I like to make my wife say, "We're going to make big trouble for Moose and Squirrel," in Natasha's Russian accent from Rocky and Bullwinkle.

So, how was you drive?

If I ever get murdered, don't tell the cops a goddamn thing. It's what I would have wanted.
(thanks Katie)

Think how great it is to fall asleep.
Think how shitty it is to wake up.
Do the math.

 Neat shot of two Nimitz-class nuclear aircraft supercarriers—the USS George H.W. Bush and USS Harry S. Truman—cruising together in the Arabian Sea. I still find amazing that ten of these giant monsters roam the seas.

On the left, a ship in a heavy storm as seen from the deck, going through giant waves. On the right, a ship in a heavy storm seen from a level deep inside, going through the same stress forces. I really don't know which perspective is scarier

My young daughter was so lazy she didn't run away from home...she walked.

Every wonder why there aren't many pizza delivery girls?

Most of you people have probably already seen it, but I live in a large town or small city...whatever. I got gas at a different gas station than usual and it had a monitor sized screen to give you instructions, then when your gas was being pumped, it switched to CNN News to help you through the boredom.

The multiverse is one of the most divisive topics in physics, and it just became more so. The major announcement last week of evidence for primordial ripples in spacetime has bolstered a cosmological theory called inflation, and with it, some say, the idea that our universe is one of many universes floating like bubbles in a glass of champagne. Critics of the multiverse hypothesis claim that the idea is untestable—barely even science. But with evidence for inflation theory building up, the multiverse debate is coming to a head.

(I will most likely be long gone when they prove this, but when they do just remember I believed it since I was 14 years old.)

Heard a new term - Alcohol Moxie. It the loss of fear you get when you're hammered.

Man with snow shovel saves woman from a pack of wild dogs...

When growing up, my two friends and I were allowed to venture into the woods only if we took loaded weapons...because of feral dogs.
I wrote an apocalypse book one time and feral dogs were a big problem.

In the ACLU's new paper U.S. Government Watchlisting: Unfair Process and Devastating Consequences [PDF], the group describes strange world of terrorist watchlists, including no-fly lists, where it's nearly impossible to discover if you're on a list, and nearly impossible to find out why you're on a list, and nearly impossible to get removed from a list. As the ACLU points out, this is Orwell by way of Kafka, where we're not allowed to know what surveillance is taking place or why surveillance is taking place -- and we're not allowed to know why we're not allowed to know.
