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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In New York, he probably will.

Really? Huh.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

shrift, your anger is righteous. This guy's anger was creepy, and not specifically work related.

So. Just out of a meeting Re: this guy getting fired.

Next up, at 11:00, my performance review.

I can't wait till there's a Sci-Fi channel movie about giant killer Don Sphynxes.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Strega, will you write me a note for work? I just don't wanna go.

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

Hee.

It would probably involve scientists trying to genetically engineer the perfect pet, or a crazy scientist trying to genetically engineer a Don Sphynx/human hybrid.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Dang, this is the morning of slacker ennui, isn't it? Or are most b.org mornings like this and I'm just too busy to read it?

I have two sleeping children, a load of laundry in the washer, and a cup of coffee at my desk. Despite the stack of grading next to it, I'm counting this morning as a "win."

this photograph is the result of digitally averaging every Playboy centerfold foldout for the 10 years beginning Jan. 1988 through Dec. 1997. The shroud-like image is yielded by a simple, custom process: point-by-point mathematical averaging. No special "morphing" is used.

Work-safe (this page, anyway). Sorta' looks like the shroud of Turin. [link]

eta: What's interesting is that you can make out a head and hair, which means that Playboy centerfolds tend to have the model's head in the same place in each centerfold photo.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

Dang, this is the morning of slacker ennui, isn't it? Or are most b.org mornings like this and I'm just too busy to read it?

As Arthur Dent once said: "It must be a Thursday. I never could get the hang of thursdays."
