I just have one thing to say to spammers.
“She will love you more than any other guy” is ambiguous. The question is, do you mean “She will love you more than she loves any other guy,” or “she will love you more than any other guy will love you?”
If you’re going to attempt to [...]
I’d like to write a quick note to a particular person who happens to corrupt frequent our weblog from time to time. (This person shall remain nameless in order to protect the guilty.)
But, first, please allow me to describe this person. For starters, he/she is sick and twisted. That should be clear [...]
Blech!
Some of my old posts on TOOT sure do make me cringe when I re-read them. For instance, I remember this one from about a year and a half ago. The context is that Matt Gumm had posted his “ten simple pleasures” and then tagged or asked the TOOT members to respond. [...]
Because I feel like a (geeky) love song is in order:
(Also available to download as a WMV file here.)
From a newsgroup I’ve been reading lately:
A mathematician and an engineer are attending a lecture from a famous physicist. The physicist is describing a model involving 27 dimensions, and the evolution of particle-probability clouds moving throughout these 27 dimensions over time. During the lecture, the engineer is struggling to follow along, taking notes and drawing [...]
Don’t miss the new poll on the sidebar. No guarantees as to whether the results will actually change anything.
This is a little uncanny.
HT: TJIC, of course.
Best phrase of the morning blog update: “If this is what old age is really about, let’s institute some Logan’s Run action right here and now.”
Tuesday morning, I walked four blocks to the hospital near my house, where the Highland EZ bus stop is. And I waited.
After about twenty minutes, I looked carefully at the bus stop sign, and realized that it said that I needed to call for a ride, so I did. At this point I [...]
Monday afternoon, I walked out of my building and took my first tentative steps toward the world of public transportation.
And watched my bus drive away. Missed it by about seventy seconds.
Tip: don’t trust the schedules.
Unless you’re at the beginning or end of the line, the bus will not be on time. And unless [...]
The problem:
We moved in August to Highland, Illinois. Love it. Great town, great people. Nice house. Generally affordable. The downside? I work in Kirkwood, Missouri. 47.5 miles away, according to Google Maps.
At current gas prices, I pay about $240/month for the privilege of driving to and from work [...]
Newsflash: Ark of the Covenant found on Craigslist. “We prayed over it and feel a real peace about it. That said, the Mr. Pibb sticker on the side was obviously added later.”
Last night I received an email from Dr. White, with the following list of his favorites from our recent list of “Little known facts about James White” and some commentary of his own (in italics) that is as funny as anything posted:
Calvin didn’t burn Servetus. James White burned Servetus. With his laser pointer. [Ed. — [...]
Dave’s back! Looking forward to the things he plans to write about.
We’ve been indirectly blogspotted by Phil Johnson for the “little known facts” post. For those keeping count, that’s two links by Pyros and one large set of comments by a Pyro. All that’s left is Pecadillo and we’ll have the whole [...]
In the spirit of Chuck Norris Facts (and if this bothers you, start with comment #320 and then read it all):
When James White stutters in his Greek class, a new entry shows up in the next edition of BDAG.
James White can bench 300… 300 copies of the 38-volume Hendrickson Church Fathers set, that is.
Barringer Crater [...]
With my deepest apologies to T.S. Eliot, but none to George Lucas.
Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky,
Like a colonel I force-choked upon the floor;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted halls,
The shaking escape-pod stalls,
Of restless nights in sun-soaked Tatooine
And desert restaurants with bounty hunters green:
Halls that follow [...]
The sede is no longer vacante, which is a good thing because I was a day behind on posts anyway.
Front page of FOXNews and CNN has the few details available so far, but there have been white smoke, bells, and little Tattoo yelling, “Boss! The Pope! The Pope!”
Sorry, Fantasy Island flashback.
Update: it’s Ratzinger. [...]
