Gotcha. Sorry, terminal foot in mouth disease strikes again.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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.

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.

It sounds like the night I deleted the entire production database at work.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
GOP Goes on Judicial Offensive (Warning - Fox News)
"This is almost a declaration of war from conservatives against the judiciary," said Washington Times reporter Bill Sammon.
Sen. Rick Santorum (search), R-Pa., said Schiavo not only was a daughter and a sister but "most importantly, an innocent person was penalized by a court system that grants convicted murderers fair treatment under the law, but not a woman whose only crime was not filing a living will."

Would these Republicans who are saying shit like this please tell us specifically how all the state and federa judges misinterpreted the law? Or else just admit that they didn't want the judges to follow the law in this case?
