    Public It's 15° F outside right now... and dropping. Not as cold as was forecast, but cold enough! Just because they changed the way they estimate the wind chill factor doesn't mean it feels any warmer, dammit! Wind chill = 3° still feels like it did when it was -10° under the old system!

    Public The local WCCO-TV news just did a segment on the "citizen's arrest", and the used a clip from the old "Andy Griffith Show" to illustrate the concept. In that episode, which I remember all too well, Gomer (later to achieve notoriety as "Gomer Pyle, USMC") arrests Barney Fife for making an illegal U-turn.

    There have been many many times where I've thought about making a Citizen's Arrest ...

    Public Um... I guess my sex life isn't all that great. Also, I'm going through a period of insecurity since my piggie ain't got not piggie legs or piggie feet. (I just ran out of canvas, y'know!)

    Public Follow-up to the Cadbury Gorilla ad clip that Dwayne !clickpointclick shared earlier. Somehow, the gorilla doesn't look quite the same at the end.

    Public During the month of December (5th - 30th) the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is presenting screening showings of the 2008 British Television Awards. I'm not exactly sure what this photo relates to, but I thought it was worth sharing.

    Public My DSL internet connection was all barfed up this afternoon so I couldn't connect. I guess this explains why my notebook system had connected to another WiFi signal yesterday.... it was the only one that was internet-enabled that could be found.

    I've had my Qwest DSL for less than a month and I've already had two separate problems since getting hooked up. The first time the DSL ...

    Public I just installed a bunch of those shelves that use double-slotted rails and double-pronged brackets at the house. It's something that we've talked about since we moved into the the house 12 years ago. Now that they're all in place (in the basement family room) they look great!

    Which begs the question: Why did we wait 12 years to do this? And... why didn't I do ...

    Public Wired Science: Superstrong Space Magnets Are Just as Weird as We Thought

    Dead stars known as magnetars — the most-magnetic objects in the universe — are a little less mysterious, thanks to new observations from the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton and Integral space telescopes.

    Magnetars are are a type of star remnant called a neutron star. They have magnetic fields 10 million times larger than the strongest magnet ever created on ...

    Public Speaking of opportunistic bastards (Mark Cuban, ducks with long penises...) Joe Lieberman is being allowed to keep his Senate Chairmanship by the Democrats.

    Public Just heard on NPR: Ducks have penises up to 14 inches in length. They also practice forced copulation. Bastards.

    Also, females have highly complex vaginas with multiple detours (think of them as "side-tracks" to direct the offending male member to the wrong destination.) The female duck vagina also may have a corkscrew-like configuration nearest the place where the egg(s) actually reside. They can constrict the "corkscrew" to resist the ...
