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.
Exciting/disgusting fact I have learned: the father of the science of modern color-blindness, John Dalton, defined the condition in 1798 because he himself was not seeing colors properly.
He was definitively diagnosed as red/green color-blind (deuteranopic) 150 years later, because they did a DNA test on his preserved eyeball. WTF!
Curious what the people behind the subprime mortgage mess are like?
CEO of subprime mortgage broker fined $29,000 for dropping 73 f-bombs during deposition
Oh, rubbish. This guy being a dick has nothing to do with the economics of the credit crunch.
However, for years and years and years I thought they were saying "kangaroo David" instead of "Jai guru deva om", so it is stuck in my head that way.
"Someday monkey play piano song...play piano song..."
Different song, but...
"Someday monkey play piano song...play piano song..."
I'm still waiting for that day.
I mean, if cats can play the piano....
Oh crap, scrappy. I'll continue to hold your niece (and the rest of you) in my thoughts.
In a 2-1 vote, a Commission on Human Relations panel found that two signs at Geno's Steaks telling customers, "This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH,'" do not violate the city's Fair Practices Ordinance.
I'm just going to say that "one wit whiz" is barely English, anyway.
This is America: WHEN ORDERING 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH'
This is English: When writing instructions, please don't use inverted commas for emphasis.
Maybe 'PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH' is the name of their most popular dish.
So what are folks up to this weekend? I know it's a day early, but I'm bored and figured I'd try to kick start a conversation.
I'm going up to Maine, and my brother his wife and I are taking our Mother out for Easter dinner here: [link]
We've been doing this the last couple of years. I love this place. They have the most amazing 72-Layer Hand-Cut Cream Cheese Biscuits. Unfortunately, getting these before the meal can seriously fill you up.
Oh, Scrappy. I'm so sorry about the cause of the heart attack. All kinds of vibes that she hangs in there, though.
Thanks for updating us on your niece, Scrappy. I am hoping for the best for her.
Can anyone explain to me why the water supply is a public utility and the electric and gas lines are private companies, even though they essentially have a regional monopoly? I mean, I can't choose which provider to use for my electricity, and they maintain the lines. Which, okay, but why aren't they a public utility and water is?
Also, can anyone explain why Verizon is a company that provides internet service and yet had the most poorly designed corporate web site I have ever had to use regularly?
