I really hope I don't have to spend the next year feeding safestores UDOs into jukeboxes to restore the entire HST, Kepler, FUSE and countless other mission's data to new hardware.

That's worst case.

People kept stopping me to see if I was ok, I guess I looked that bad. All of us did who heard the system go and know exactly what it means.

OK, need to go do something else, or I'll never get off this jagged adrenaline rush.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I have seen both sanish-looking and bugfuck looking photos of Loughner but I will agree that his most recent photo is one of the few where the subject looks as crazy as he seems.

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

Some Chicago news:

A 38-year-old man was running around with only socks in the frigid wintry weather this morning in Lakeview when he was arrested with a crack pipe and marijuana in his possession, Chicago police allege.

Police responded to a disturbance a little before 11 a.m. in the 2900 block of North Broadway when they encountered the man carrying the pipe, police said.

Police eventually found his clothing -- with the marijuana inside them -- nearby, police said.

More from the article:

Witnesses state the suspect was asking, "Where's brenda?"

OK, I made that up.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

I will agree that his most recent photo is one of the few where the subject looks as crazy as he seems.

For me, the ultra-disturbing part is how much it looks like pictures of my father. Including the crazy look, which in my father's case is a result of trying not to blink.

One scary-ass video: Cars Get Swept Away in Australian Flash Flood (The One)

Massive flash flooding earlier this week in Queensland, Australia has reportedly left 10 people dead and over 70 missing, but the eyewitness testimonies of "huge wall[s] of water" over a kilometer wide are pretty hard to imagine until you see videos like this.

YouTuber whitelightbringer recorded the flooding as it hit the Chalk Lane parking lot in Toowoomba, Queensland yesterday, January 10, and it's amazing how quickly the water goes from looking like an innocent muddy river to completely flooding the parking lot and dragging cars away in the current.

I wish I understood anything after "spend the next year".

A Meal Fit For the Greatest Hobbits of Them All

What do you eat when you watch the extended versions of all three Lord of the Rings movies? The Alamo Drafthouse served up an eight-course meal during its LOTR marathon, including First Breakfast, Second Breakfast, Elevensies and Coney Stew. Check out exclusive photos below.

The gourmet servings of hobbit food were part of the Alamo's annual Film/Feast event, which focused on Tolkien's masterwork this year. The attention to detail is astounding. The three movies, back to back, added up to twelve hours, with Hobbit-inspired food being served at each Hobbit mealtime. The menu tells the awesome story.

Want to learn how to make Coney Stew? The Alamo Drafthouse's Executive Chef, John Bullington, came up with a recipe, which we've posted here.
