Thursday, done.

Computer hiccuped, which ended up being a crashable offense. After a restart (and running the package reconfiguration command) we're back. Comic appears not to be updating, even though I've queued up a couple. Maybe comicgenesis/keenspace is updating or something.

Ice, Ice, Baby. In Latin. Test your skills against it, if you dare.

If you're trying to persuade someone to your side, maybe having a cup of coffee with them will help sell your pitch. Maybe then, they'll start believing that Sony didn't steal the motion sensitive controller from Nintendo, but rather from... Atari?

Wonder waht could happen if the line between virtual and outside reality blurs a bit too much? Grand Theft Reality. torakiyoshi noted that to him, it seemed like the author was claiming video games cause violence, and I can see that angle. I just think it looks more like a game or a player that can't distinguish or has blurred the lines between the game and the world. There have been stories like that for a while.

Pat Robertson predicts storms and possibly a tsunami for the Northwest. Any meterologists who can back that prediction using their scientific predictions? Or tell Pat that he misheard God? Unless there's an explosive test or stash that Pat knows about and we don't...

Speaking of good "christian" values, Missouri town won't let unmarried parents live together. This is a side effect of trying to enforce an ideal household, sometimes it bites back, hard. Apparently, in this town, if you want more than one kid but haven't gone through with a marriage ceremony, or you want to hole up with some of your buddies for college, you're either going to have to be related, adopted, or married to make it happen. Bet that'll fry some minds when dudes apply for marriage licenses just so they can all live together.

The following srticle has useful bits, but they may have to be strained from dreck: Cupid's Broken Arrow: Or, some good reasons (stress, alcohol, depressants, expectations) and some bad reasons (forward girls, gender equality) why young guys might have trouble getting erect and having sex.

70,000 beer cans found in a house. Seventy thousand beer cans. So many that getting from place to place is a problem. All of them were turned in for redemption, to the tune of about $800, which isn't great, but hey, at least there aren't seventy thousand cans of beer on the floor, seventy thousand cans of beer...

Tisk, they got gypped, you could get $3500 for that many cans in California.

Well, 70,000 cans, if you could get $.10 redemption for each one here in Michigan, would be about $7,000, but they'd have to be done in lots of 250 or so, as I think a lot of the stores here have limits on how much you can get at any one redemption pass.

hey, none of those racial slurs around here!

or whatever you want to call them. I guess it's not a racial slur...ethnic slur?

Nope, the guy actually uses the tops in his house. He's in Arkansas if I remember correctly.
He was shown on Animal PLanet's Most Extreme show. He was in the ep 'Most Extreme builders'.
The show gives a 'top 10' of animals they consider 'the most extreme' at something. Then it shows human counterparts of the activity. I think he was being compared to a crab species.
As far as AC/heating goes, I don't think it was mentioned how well that works.
