I look more rad than Lutheranism

That's one of the funniest x-posts I've seen in a long time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I was about to call Jesse a freak, but look! Company!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How's yer surfing?

Nonexistent. But, see, I don't have ANY of the skills you have, so it's funny that I (once) had the skills you lack. See, funny?

That may be the first Biathalon cross post in the history of the Internet.

Hee!

I have always loved the idea of the biathalon. It's so practical and non-sporty.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

In case there's anyone around who knows this, I have a trigonometry question:

I know cos^2 x + sin^2 x = 1, and therefore cos^2 x = 1 - sin^2 x but in one of the examples in my book they seem to have gone from (cos^2 x + 1) to sin^2 x in one step, and I'm confused. Shouldn't (cos^2 x + 1) = -sin^2 x? Or am I missing something?

Only this year, only this year. What else can you do? I'm still compiling the 2006 list.

The percentage of cars with stick seems to still be dropping.

I wonder if the fully manual transmission might go away at some point with automatic-clutch manual transmissions starting to become more numerous. There's like five transmission choices now, manual, automatic-manual, automatic, CVT w/o torque converter, CVT w/ torque converter. I think there's another type on some French car, but I can't remember for sure.

That's crazy. I love the stick shift.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

You know how TV & movies sometimes show someone waking a person up by throwing water in his/her face? I discovered this morning (when I managed to do it to myself) that it really works.

My Friend's mom used to keep a glass of water on her headboard (it was a bookcase-type thing). This was, until her cat started batting it over onto her face when she wanted to play. Every morning.
