Where'd they get CAT scan from?... I mean, did they test it on cats? Or does the machine sort of look like a cat?

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I just gave my keyboard an involuntary bath with a full mug of hot coffee. I turned it upside down and out came a lot of coffee, and also the remnants of many, many lunches eaten at my desk. YIKES. V. disgusting.

So I took apart the entire thing and cleaned it with Q-Tips and compressed air. And it works! And is clean! And I may never eat lunch at my desk and surf the web again. (So I say now...)

I read that as roommates and immediately had Inappropriate Thoughts.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I guessed that the two worst passwords would be '12345' and 'password'. I was wrong - the first one was '123456'.

eta: '12345' was not as bad as 'pussy'.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I was wrong - the first one was '123456'.

Maybe because some systems require passwords to be at least six characters?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm sitting in the smog check place for the second time, waiting to see if he can get his computer to communicate with my car this time. Wheeeeee

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

This morning's pet peeve: People who e-mail me saying "X isn't working" when the true answer is "I didn't read the instructions."
