In San Francisco it's considered a serious breach of etiquette to come to the front of a line at a taqueria and not know what burrito you want to order.

I leave slow pondering for sit-down restaurants with menus and wine lists.

The algorithm constantly finds Jesus.

Anyone else seen this billboard? Ask.com ad?

I always tend to try to stand way the hell back when at a place with menu boards. Because if it is new to me, I'm gonna get overwhelmed and take forever. I'm not sure why this is, but it's consistent.

One of my dad's early macs not only smoked, it shot flames.

Everyone in LA might want to be wary of the convention center for the next week. My brother will be there, getting into trouble.

I think I know one thing I will definately be doing today, giving Ozymandias a bath. Boy smells like a zoo animal.

Heather, there is a SF Golden Gate Rugby Club game on Treasure Island at 3 p.m. the Saturday you're here. But, there's also the Vivienne Westwood exhibit, and brunch, and.....

Too damn much cool stuff to do!

OK, this article annoys me: Teachers drop the Holocaust to avoid offending Muslims (It's the Daily Mail and applies to the UK)

Schools are dropping the Holocaust from history lessons to avoid offending Muslim pupils, a Government backed study has revealed.

It found some teachers are reluctant to cover the atrocity for fear of upsetting students whose beliefs include Holocaust denial.

The article never mentions how many is "some teachers." Apparently it's at least two.

The researchers gave the example of a secondary school in an unnamed northern city, which dropped the Holocaust as a subject for GCSE coursework.

OK, at least one school of unspecified size dropped the subject. Can we get an idea of how many schools this is an issue in? Or percentage? I guess not from this article.

I mean, if it's a widespread problem, that's terrible, but if it's a few isolated teachers and/or schools, then this article might be fanning the flames of an anti-Muslim backlash....

There's nothing like being wedged under a desk in a dark office in a pharmaceutical plant and having a computer tower catch fire right in your face.

We had to smuggle it out through a locked chain link fence so we could repair it, navigating by hushed whispers and moonlight.

A whole bunch of funny and/or wacky animal pictures: [link]

I think the fox barking at the praying mantis is my fave. Or maybe the cat and moose touching noses. Or the cat confronting the bald eagle....

A very buffista sofa.
