You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
CNN has not independently confirmed it
probably afraid of the date.
Or waiting for the Supreme Court to weigh in....

Gotcha. Sorry, terminal foot in mouth disease strikes again.

It's not terminal. It's probably only chronic.

The book, A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates, is real, and something of a classic in the field of cryptography and computer science,
I have used this book several times in setting up random sequences for experiments or analyses. There's usually one old guy in every science department who has a copy in his office.
Admittedly, it is a very strange book.

I was gonna say, Hayden, don't talk about having terminal illnesses! You'll be next!!
You don't want your obituary to be a footnote to Jerry Falwell's, do you??

Shit's all sorts of different now.
So, here's a question from the chronically ignorant:
What happens after the Pope dies? When is a new one chosen?

It's not terminal. It's probably only chronic.
The prognosis isn't good.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I had heard about the SA editorial but hadn't read it yet. Funny stuff and nicely pointed. I'm enjoying the Google pranks, also.
BTW, hayden, I don't know if I've congraulated you yet, so I'll do it now. How's the baby?

Because books.
When is a new one chosen?
The Cardinals are called to Rome, and after the pope's funeral they meet and vote. The new pope has to get more than two thirds of the vote.
