An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar. The first one orders a beer. The second orders half a beer. The third, a quarter of a beer. The bartender says "You're all idiots", and pours two beers.

I just started playing TF2 after beating half-life 2 and portal - are any of you (all 2 of you), still playing? I'd love to smash some faces with peers.

I have trouble connecting to servers sometimes, not sure if you guys had that issue or not...

I don't know what brought it up - but Spacemoose (the really hilarious comic) came up in conversation lately, so I wondered what the creator had been up to:

Dr. Adam Thrasher
Assistant Professor
Health and Human Performance

During his postdoctoral fellowship in Toronto, Canada, Dr. Thrasher designed a research program in which he developed a new neuroprosthesis for walking therapy in people with chronic spinal cord injury.

This was posted on the algorithms community.

"Ok, so I obviously don't know how the computer works, or the internet. But I was just thinking, is it hard to make your own version of livejournal? Do I need to take a bunch of computer programming to do that? Cuz I was thinking of making my own, except it's not livejournal, more like a place for people to create their own profile page. And no it's not another facebook, myspace.. thing. But yeah, is it possible?"

Haha.

I had been meaning to post this. Our dog tore her ACL a couple of weeks ago. She was running down a hill and suddenly came up lame, limping and whining towards me. She rested for the next couple of days until we took her to the vet, where they sedated her and took x-rays. They couldn't tell if it was fully torn or partially torn (due to inflammation), so they sent her home with some meds. The very next day she was better, so it's probably just partially torn. At this point she walks around with no limp and minimal signs of injury (slight favoring of one leg).

Regardless, she will probably have to have surgery as dogs don't know they should go slowly and at some point it'll be fully torn. I'm a very sad camper, but the surgery is supposed to return the dog to near full capacity, so my hope is that one day I can take her to the park and watch her sprint for a toy. It also impacts my graduate classes, as classes + dog surgery are a) expensive and b) time consuming, and I'm not sure I'd be able to reasonably handle both at the same time.

The whole "not being able to do anything but wait" is freaking killing me.

I feel betrayed every time I see the movie Heat on the cable channel, flip to it, and it is the Burt Reynolds version.

We saw American Gangster, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Although, seriously, it's bad when I laugh out loud to something not funny: the previews to National Treasure: Book of Secrets. To quote: "The President's book of secrets. A collection of documents for President's eyes only. The truth behind the JFK conspiracy. The missing minutes from the Watergate tapes. And of course. Area 51."

I burst out laughing and said, "That's terrible!" Get these writers together with the Transformers people ASAP, and we've got $$$.

Why do I own Mystery Men?

Mmk.

Halo 3 is probably the most fun I've had in a video game since Tribes: Shifter, almost 10 years ago.

There aren't that many 'new' things here, it's just that everything is perfect this time around.

Although they do have a new weapon called the Gravity Hammer which is just amazingly fun.

I'm completely floored.

I finally decided, with under an hour before it started, to drop my class this semester. I really hated last Fall semester not having free time to enjoy the season. I would rather take a Spring and Summer class than have to go to school in Fall.

I'm experiencing a mixture of relief and a tiny amount of... disappointment?

K starts her job at Mutual today. Good luck, kristalbot!

So, hey.

Are you all still playing nerd stuff on the weekends? If so what, when, where? I'm interested in doing nerd stuff again.

"Robert Hale, a Bible-toting father of 15 who calls himself Papa Pilgrim, became an anti-government celebrity in Alaska by driving a bulldozer across a national park that encircles his land.

[...]

He said his children read only the Bible, always bathed with their clothes on and were not allowed to see one another naked.

[...]

He pleaded no contest to multiple charges that he raped one of his daughters"
