moar funny pictures There’s only one wrong way to caption a lolcat…the right way. Think about that for a while.
Classes have been in session for a few weeks now, and I’m still missing one of my grades. This is not a surprise, though, as this particular professor is notorious for taking forever. It’s interesting, really. Like most professors, this one doesn’t really accept late work. He doesn’t accept much in the way of excuses [...]
I can’t decide if this is neat or really fucking bizarre: Did you know you can sell your DNA sequence to research companies looking to obtain a patent for it? In fact, the largest patenter of genetic material — New Line Genetics — will pay you at least $5,000 for the chemical [...]
Wow: “I have a plan - a moratorium on foreclosures for 90 days [and] freezing interest rates for five years, which I think we should do immediately,” Clinton announced at what was the last Democratic debate before the Nevada Caucus on Jan. 19. I’m sorry, what? I realize that the problem with this [...]
Color me shocked. At Mac World a market research firm did some surveys of attendees and found out that they have a heightened sense of superiority and less modesty than the average person. I really don’t know how this could come as a surprise to anyone who has any sort of experience with Apple fanboys and [...]
I’ve got to say, that although it would require dealing with OSX, which I have decided I don’t care much for, I would buy a MacBook Air if I could afford it. I know, it doesn’t have an optical drive. I realize it has a smallish hard drive. I am aware that the battery is [...]
So, apparently, we all have several hundred billion of Shakespeare’s atoms floating around in our bodies. Since that man was not obliterated by high explosives (thus spreading his atoms more quickly), I look forward to the day that 200 billion of my atoms are in everyone. That’d be pretty cool, really. At any rate… I’m keeping this [...]
In copyright today we spent an inordinate amount of time talking about the difference between these two classifications. After a few minutes, it occurred to me that the distinction between them is trivial at best. One student, when asked to explain the difference between an analog and digital camera, said something to the effect that an [...]
So far things are setting up nicely for a Packers/Pats Super Bowl, which would be fine by me. I’m far more of a Packers fan, and it would be great to see Favre get one more ring before he packs it in, but it’d also be cool to see a team go 19-0. In other news… [...]
Ask MetaFilter is a site where random people can ask questions and other random people can answer them. Half to three-quarters of the answers, in most cases, are ridiculous (especially when legal advice is requested). Less than that proportion of the questions are ridiculous, but this one is: So back a few years ago, [...]
