And we wonder why women and girls get so neurotic so easily...

This is quite possibly the most addicting game I've ever found, and I've found many an addicting game.

I think it was on here that I saw something about some pen where you could draw circles and wagons and stuff, and it would follow the rules of physics. Same idea, only in game form. Good luck.

I have no idea what that title means. Lately, however, I feel as though Hillary is taking this to the end on principal alone. I guess I can't fault. Her campaign is similar to Shirly Chisolm from the 1972 campaign. Alhtough, I must admit, I truly wish we had more folks out there like Shirley. Unbought and Unbossed. She was an original and an independent.

Anyhow, Shirley campaign all the way until the end. And finally, at the Democratic Convention relinquished her delegates. Part of why she did it I believe was pride and part of it was simply to show folks she could go all the way.

Is this why Hillary continues to run? To show how tough she is? Isn't that a bit of an Ego trip? Doesn't this election go far beyond her? Is she in danger of becoming the next Ralph Nader?

That being said. Why should she quit? Maybe she can pull it off? I dunno. Anything is possible. I suppose.

p.s. Sorry I've been missing lately, work and music has gotten in the way. i'm sure you've all missed me. I do miss ranting and raving every once in a while. Which is why I had to stop by and torture you all!!! HA HA AH AY AHAHAH!

My roomie introduced me to the Brothers Quay when we were in college, and I've loved their work ever since. Hard to believe this piece is over twenty years old already.

Of course, even they have to pay the bills...

My brother sent me this one... turned out to be much cooler than expected. The remote might be a bit unwieldy though.

I saw this on PBS's BBC World News, and when I told AJ he said he didn't believe it, so I had to find the article, then he suggested I post it here, so here it is!

BBC News, Ohio The Man Who Grew Back His Finger Tip: In every town in every part of this sprawling country you can find a faceless sprawling strip mall in which to do the shopping.

Rarely though would you expect to find a medical miracle working behind the counter of the mall's hobby shop.

That however is what Lee Spievak considers himself to be.

"I put my finger in," Mr Spievak says, pointing towards the propeller of a model aeroplane, "and that's when I sliced my finger off."

It took the end right off, down to the bone, about half an inch.

"We don't know where the piece went."

The photos of his severed finger tip are pretty graphic. You can understand why doctors said he'd lost it for good.

Today though, you wouldn't know it. Mr Spievak, who is 69 years old, shows off his finger, and it's all there, tissue, nerves, nail, skin, even his finger print.

In an April interview with genre website FEARnet, Boll acknowledged an online poll calling for him to quit filmmaking altogether. "How many signatures would it take," FEARnet asked. Boll's answer: "One million. Now we have a new goal." As of today, the Stop Dr. Uwe Boll petition has garnered over [233,541] signatures.

I just wasted two hours of my life watching In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale to see if it truly was that bad. It was worse. The man truly must be stopped from wasting so much money and peoples' time.

If you feel moved, here is the actual petition (the article got the link wrong).

Researchers have finally published the results of data recovered from a cracked and singed hard drive that fell to Earth in the debris from the Space Shuttle Columbia, which exploded during reentry on February 1, 2003, killing all seven crewmembers.

The hard drive contained data from the CVX-2 (Critical Viscosity of Xenon) experiment, designed to study the way xenon gas flows in microgravity. The findings, published this April in the journal Physical Review E, confirmed that when stirred vigorously, xenon exhibits a sudden change in viscosity known as shear thinning. The same effect allows whipped cream and ketchup to go from flowing smoothly like liquids to holding their shapes like solids.

A bit of a one-trick pony, but still fun...

I was walking over to the bookstore and I saw this. Since I had the shiny new camera Dad got me (ahem), I couldn't resist.

All I can think is that someone must have really wanted to be an astronaut before they had a kid. Anyone know what this actually is?

Berkeley Law School apparently has a new hire...
