Mmmmm, a nuclear battery that can be used as a glo-stick by ravers! This may reach the magic 25W/lb required to make a decent laptop power supply. It's feasible but requires 50% efficiency. This claims a 4x increase in power over normal systems so maybe, maybe.

Since the battery would have a life of ~10 years you might replace the laptop and keep the batery!

"Your final score is 13 out of 10 or 65%."

I'm thinking someone should doublecheck their scoring code... but the Caddyshack quiz is still fun, typos and all.

Sure, we're being mean to the "Inteligent Design" folks, but they have a nebulous designer to fall back on for emotional support... all we have is sarcasm and the pleasure of being able to test our theories. It's funny...

[MISTAKE!]

Sez the woman who was supposed to call me yesterday:

"No, I'm a girl, I was busy getting chewed a few times."

You know, context is a wonderful thing...but LACK of context makes it all dirtier...*grin*

Virus Writer Unappologetic

Most viruses start slowly and then build power; "I Love You" hit the computer world like a bomb - anti-virus companies had not seen anything like it and while they struggled to contain the infection, copycats were re-titling the virus and releasing in their own language.

At this point you might expect the story to flash-pan to a prison cell and a description of the miscreant responsible for the outrage safely behind bars. However, the person who almost certainly wrote the virus - proved not only by his own admission but also by a stack of corroborating evidence - is today a free man with a no criminal record.

That's because in the Philippines - where he lives - there were no laws against computer misuse and the authorities had nothing to charge him with.

US tabloid TV programmes and book authors have dangled cheques in front of his nose - but at the moment he rejects them all. Local reports say he fears being kidnapped and has nightmares about being bundled on to a boat and taken to the USA.

The emphasis above is mine... and the warm glow it inspires is why I bothered to post at all.

Sez the cow-orker: "I'm a shy, shrinking, violet of a girl!"

Sez me: "No. You're a sly, shrieking, violent girl. You're mispronouncing those words."

From the icky end of the meme pool comes a topic from dinner last night: Bac-ewwwws," one of the many forms of sky-meat.

Other phrases to scrub from your brain:

  • "Jigglymuff, I choose you!"
  • "Why yes, ominous androgeny is a good band name."
  • "What kind of doctor refers to a vagina as a 'hoo-ha'?"
  • "More important, how do you find out that an ointment for your hoo-ha is good for your face?"

Uncyclopedia needs more reading before a legitimate opinion can be formed... but I do love the Nostradamus di Polysorbate article. Some of the best information on Nostradamus and the power of bisexual telephone-directory compilation ever.

OK, this is just a test of the new quote style I'm tinkering with. Sorry especially to Keli, since I'm quoting her recent email as a test. :)

Dinner?

Any suggestions? I'm in the mood for sushi, vietnamese, thai, indian, italian, mexican, tex-mex, spanish, french, (wait, no, not french,) irish, american pub, someone else's pub, and any other euro-fusion-if-its-food-i'll-eat-it option.

That's our Keli... clearly focused on a single goal and opinion... and that being to fob off today's meal decision on others since she got picked on for the past few choices. :P

Meh, it only works in real CSS browsers... looks crappy with only the end-quote in IE. Bah humbug.

I can think of a couple of people around here who would want to give this a try. Almost twice as strong as the previous winner.

'twas a nice weekend on the whole. Had an excellent sushi dinner that reminded me how long it had been since my last sushi experience. The meal was topped off by our friend Crispy opening his fortune cookie and lamenting there was nothing inside.

"Ah ha!" I exclaimed, "You are nothing in bed!"

Good times, good times. We followed it up by catching Kung Fu Hustle at Baxter. Wonderfully funny movie. We weirded out the couple in front of us more than a few times, especially when we observed that J. Depp in Charlie & the Chocolate Factory was "ominously androgynous" and that "ominously androgynous" would make a great band name.

Also got a bit of a tan from saturday's derby festivities. Odd, I can spend several days in vegas sans sunscreen or shade and come back lilly white, but spend a few hours in the shade of a large tree in the presence of Ohio Valley air pollution and I turn brown.

Perhaps I'm not so much tanning as being chemically dyed.
