furtive explorations

This reminds me I need to sketch up a list of SciFi favs for my sight some day.

The CPAN.pm module has a wh command

MJD is now running the www.perl.com site, BTW.

When I did this I got Netscape and Microsoft as the top two hits! Main web pages too, not a sub link.

          You know how people say
   "I have to go to the bathroom real bad?"  
I'll bet that sounds funny when Michael Jackson
 says it. Especially if he clutches his crotch.

Oops, here's another good one from PennyArcade as well. Currently the gamiest web comic I read.

          Last week Human Resources said they were going
         to garnish my wages.  Call me dense, but I fail
           to see how a sprig of parsley in my paycheck
                 will make it any more attractive.

          When I go to Walt Disney World this year, I'm 
        going to stand in the middle of the Magic Kingdom 
         and yell, "I want to talk to whoever's in charge
            of this f***in' Mickey Mouse operation!"

Ok more than two. sosumi.

           If I had a choice between a robot or one of
            those helper-monkeys, I'd take the monkey,
            because if you lose your job and they shut
          off your power, you can't recharge the robot,
                but you can always eat the monkey.

             Whether on a date or at a job interview,
           you can always expect the same reaction when
         you utter the phrase, "frothy yellow discharge."

                 When my father asks me what I'm
                doing up on the Internet so late,
                I say, "I'm looking for badgers."
                   You'd think by now he'd have
                    learned not to talk to me.

In order, those are from: David Henry, James Montalbano, Dan Johnson, Dan Lyons, and Kevin Simpson. Remember kids, never steal what you can borrow.

The big question that is going to have to be answered with these things is can it give me an interesting dose of things I might like but haven't asked for? That is the nice thing about news sites now and newspapers of yesterlore. When I got up this morning I had no idea I would be interested in hand transplant surgery, (well, bad example because I would be interested in major local news, and/or UofL,) nevertheless, I never would have heard about the guy deported to Guyana with their described system.

By the way, speaking of puns, ABCNEWS is calling their online coverage: Poll Vault. Bleagh. =)

Fundamentally, it's about taste.

Aww yeah.

Also, here in Louisville, Man learns to use new hand is the big story. The doctors plan to do a few more hand or hand and lower arm transplants now that this one has been such a success. He is the second of five people in the world to receive hand or arm transplants. wow

This one just boggles me: Umami taste receptor found. your tounge can taste sweet, salt, bitter, sour, and umami. MSG isn't just headache inducing salt! Yay! Now shy, armless people all over the world can say, I'm not handicapped, I can taste umami still!

I told a friend this about my first sighting of them:

When I saw the page I raised my hands to the sky in supplication and howled, "Why God? Why bring them out JUST AFTER my birthday and Christmas? Why?" Then I started crying and curled up in a ball.

Well there are more that I've read and a couple I've bounced mails about but none I've actively dug into. I've read about separate .cc files trying to get to know all the code tho. That should count for something
