I saw this via a link on Reddit and had to share. It’s probably the most wholly applicable theory on humanity I’ve ever heard.
This is literally the reason society doesn’t work quite right. The people who exist outside that core group of a few dozen people are not people to us. They’re sort of one-dimensional bit characters.
Well I was waiting for him to do something and here it is. The Iraq War De-escalation Act. Can’t say I agree with it, but I don’t disagree with it either. There really isn’t a good answer to Iraq at this point, but we need to try something new.
So yeah, we have a kitty now, which is adorable. I’d have preferred a dog, but of course they’re not the most self-maintaining. After doing some searching around the intertubes, I’m pretty sure that’s because they don’t have owners that are bat-shit crazy. No, I’m serious, cat owners are nuts. After reading various reviews on Amazon and looking at the various products for kitty hygiene, I’ve settled on two. The Litter-Robot and the Cat Genie.
The Litter-Robot has one obvious advantage as I see it, in that it’s a FREAKING ROBOT…and it looks like a fancy sci-fi contraption that could potentially be a doomsday device (be sure to watch the How It Works video)
The Cat Genie wins though for having reusable litter, a wash-dry cycle, and using indoor plumbing. Not having to empty a litter box ever again gets serious points from me…’cause poo is scary.
There’s also cat fountains of course and more importantly Aqua Garden (scroll down a bit) so your cat can get it’s daily allotment of cat grass. I couldn’t find a cat fountain that connects to a mains line which seems like the sensible thing to do (never forget to water your cat again!)…though most people are scared of plumbing.
So really I guess cats are normal and their owners make them weird.
Scott Adams made my day, I thought I should pass it along.
So yeah, apparently someone started the apocalypse and didn’t even have the decency to tell me first.
Luckily the BBC’s got pictures!
Alberto Gonzalez proved today that the administrations prime tactic in their War on Freedom Terror is playing stupid. Bush has had it nailed for years but now it’s cool for everyone to jump on the bandwagon! There’s only one possible response to this and one Reddit commenter put it perfectly.
Oh yeah, we also want to violate as many human rights as possible, because nothing says, “Don’t kill us” like a stay at the fabulous Gitmo Resort and Spa. Yeah, thats guaranteed not to generate more terrorism. I’m not sure but a minimum wage increase (bad) and reduced oil subsidies (good) don’t really make me any more comfortable that these kind of atrocities are going on in our (U.S.) name.
This is worth at least a few hours of screwing around…Zelda “Take This!” Generator
People doin’ the robot, that’s it.
This has to be one of the neatest ideas I’ve seen in a long while. It’s a collaborative genealogy app based on web 2.0 technologies (buzzwords, yum!). You fill out your family tree as you know it, putting in email addresses that you know and it’ll email those people asking them to add on what they know to the tree. I could see this potentially leading to some very interesting finds as far as relationships go (You’re a descendant of Churchill? GTFO! No way!)
