Punishingly Intricate

I almost always have a song stuck in my head, with varying levels of time and annoyance. It is just a layer that is there.

Me too.

Lately it's been the Treme theme song. Good for bike riding to, not so good for sleeping to.

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

OK, this is just stupid:

First human 'infected with computer virus'

A British scientist says he is the first man in the world to become infected with a computer virus.

Dr Mark Gasson from the University of Reading contaminated a computer chip which was then inserted into his hand.

The device, which enables him to pass through security doors and activate his mobile phone, is a sophisticated version of ID chips used to tag pets.

In trials, Dr Gasson showed that the chip was able to pass on the computer virus to external control systems.

...

Dr Gasson admits that the test is a proof of principle but he thinks it has important implications for a future where medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants become more sophisticated, and risk being contaminated by other human implants.

Always Anti-fascist!

Yeah, Lisah, first time heard it, I hated it, than it became catchy, then I was earwormed for a week.

I checked Wikipedia to make sure he wasn't exaggerating or something.

He wasn't. Damn.

Ten monkey attack videos

I only watched a few of these. Can any Buffista critique the monkey's Taekwondo technique in #10?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Maybe the Kung Fu Bear can take out the Taekwondo Monkey.
