That's a very strange story.
Why am I trying to debug a java app? I don't know jackshit about java. Jeez, people! I'd like the week over now.

Love this!
A linguistics professor was lecturing to his class one day. "In English," he said, "a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a double negative is still a negative. However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."
This was Sidney Morgenbesser, and the story I've heard is "Yeah, yeah."

The pedophile story is shocking! There are plenty of students, though, who look much older than 12 at my school. Both boys and girls. It's occassionally hard to remember how old they really are.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
This was Sidney Morgenbesser, and the story I've heard is "Yeah, yeah."
And it wasn't a class, it was a linguistics conference.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The weirdest thing about the pedophile story is that the guy posing as a 12 y.o. fooled the older pervs he was with and...
The authorities said Mr. Stiffler and Mr. Snow were shocked, too, and angry about being duped by an adult posing as a minor.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That whole thing is incredibly weird and creepy.
And coincidentally, we were already talking about pedophiles at work this morning, because a coworker had a story of the husband of someone she used to work with getting busted for apparently emailing dirty pictures of himself and his little daughter. EW.

Yoiks, that's a creepy story.
In more amusing news, as I was walking in downtown SF last night on my way to meet a friend for dinner, I walked past a tall young man with long dark hair, who was towing a head of lettuce on a leash.
It was very fun to walk behind him for a few blocks and see all the double-takes he got from other pedestrians. However, it was SF, and nobody even asked him what it was about.
