Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Is it a bad sign that my temperature is low?

Depends on what is normal for you, and your metabolism.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ugh. 3 a.m. I'm finally heading for bed. Night all.

At the bottom of that page, they cite the song 98.6...

"Hey, ninety eight point six, it's good to have you back again. oh,
Hey, ninety eight point six, her lovin' is the medicine that saaaved me,
Oh, I love my baaaby"

Both echidnas and naked mole rats have among the lowest core body temeratures of any mammals.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

'Night, billytea

I'm in class, listening to a lecture on Free Will (mostly).

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I was drafting a test email and somehow clicked the button that sent it. Thankfully, except for not having any sort of closing, it was well written, even if I wasn't sure I wanted to send it just yet

Aghhhhhhh!

Go to BED, William!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It is a common misconception that hairless cats have a body temperature that's a few degrees warmer than a regular house cat. They feel warmer to the touch (because of the lack of fur) but they have the same temperature as regular cats.

Yes! Free me!

I likes free will philosophising. I may be odd in that I find the 'free will is an illusion' position to be endlessly fascinating. I just sit there and do weird things like cluck like a chicken, and think to myself, "Imagine if that was predetermined by my particular neural state, and it only felt like a choice!" And then I cluck some more, because I'm pleased with myself.

If it's a choice between that and being under the thrall of a gigantic mind-controlling tick hanging off the back of my head, I know which one I'd choose. Wait. No I don't.

Going to bed! Really! (Did I really choose to do that?)

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Mornin'. I overslept kinda a lot. Good thing I had the option to go in late (no classes until afternoon) but I have an appoinment with a student at 9 that's going to be a tad tight. So why am I posting, you may ask? Excellent question. I think I'm mainly just scared to get out of bed. I actually feel somewhat okay at the moment and am really nervous about how that will change as I step out of bed and my body remembers how sick it is.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

He didn't cite chaos theory at all, which is a bit sad-making, as we're assuming Free Will for the rest of the lecture (which is on Freedom).

It is a fascinating discussion, which I think the development of AIs does interesting things to, though I don't know if it support or refutes it. We'll have to wait and see.
