My favorite scene in Apollo XIII is when all the guys in mission control break out their sliderules and start calculating frantically. I'm like, "dudes, don't invent space ships before calculators, m'kay?"
Supposedly we'll be back on the moon in fifteen years or so. Far off in the future I'm sure people will be amazed that we landed on the moon half a dozen times in the '60s and '70s, 50 or so years before the many landings in this century. Back then, NASA computers would take days to calculate trajectories to the moon, and often the computers would crash just before reaching a solution. And the computers on the command module didn't have enough memory to store the entire mission, so astronauts had to manually key in programs and data into the computers before they could return to Earth.
I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but I've heard Tucker Carlson got an embarrassing errection during his number with a sexy dancer.
It was too good not to youtube.
Congratulations, you have effectively paralyzed me with the oscillation between schadenfreunde and horrified aversion.
Does anyone want to bring me lunch? I forgot to bring mine today.

I could drive some lunch out to you, but it'd take a few days....
School (CEGEP) shooting in Montreal:
Oh, how dreadful. I hope all of the students recover.

That's okay. I'll probably forget to bring it that day too.

Yikes. But why are they always with the back trench coat?
I have wicked heartburn, and I don't like it. FYI.
And why two gunmen? That's always scarier, I think, than the lone guy who's freaked out. To work together like that...
I hope everyone's all right.
Freaky. I used to walk past Dawson all the time. And it certainly does bring the Lepine thing back.
