You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

And why is Jimmy Hoffa in Canada?

Okay, Jimmy is now in his proper spot, under the end zone at Giants Stadium.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

OK, good. (A few summers ago, the History Chanel had a billboard right by Giants stadium, where the entire text was "Hoffa?" with an arrow pointing down towards the stadium. Had to drive by it every day on my way home from work, and it made me laugh every time.)

I have an exercise due on Tuesday in a class called "Random Processes" - is there anything you could do about that, please?

Have you seen the scary random pairing generators which are doing the livejournal rounds at the moment? t /natter

All is well that ends in pizza.

On the Buffistamerica map, is it possible to have different colors for the more, um, fanciful pins?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Gus, please delete "bruce" for me. He was the mechanical shark in "Jaws," so I put him just off the coast of Long Island. However, someone else has put in a "Jaws" marker, so no need for the duplication.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Ha! I thought that's what "you" (not that I knew it was you, specifically) meant.

Also, uh, Gus, what happened to the map? It has little question mark bubbles for some points, and all of the alt tags are now "."

Question bubbles: DCJ requested some difference between the serious and the not-so-serious pins. It made sense to me, as some folks just want to see where the Buffistas are, without sifting through all the "gotchas!". I think it is still fun, checking out the mystery spots, moreso since now I know they are supposed to be something cool.

I was going through and making the thing W3C compliant, which means that all images need an "alt" defined. Evidently, IE will only show the "alt" if both a "title" and an "alt" are defined. So, I ripped all the alts out, and people's names are back. The W3C and Microsoft can take a leap at each other.

When I get done with some real stuff, like maps for the rest of the world, I'll go back and move all those titles to alts.
