    “Conceptual Art” Seized at Gunpoint

    by  • 9/21/2007 • humor, insanity • 0 Comments

    Boston responds to bomb threat at airport, and oddly the response seems appropriate this time. Though, they do mention a circuit board and a battery that causes it to light up. What are the odds that she was wearing one of the Mooninite boards from the ill-received (by Boston, anyhow) Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie [...]

    Someone from halifax knows what digg.com is?

    by  • 9/21/2007 • life • 0 Comments

    Apocrypha makes an excellent point on a thread over on digg.com about why people flee from the magical city of Halifax. It’s because we’re the ignorant dip shits who feel superior to everyone, apparently. He was actually responding to my (xinit) comment “I’ve been telling myself…” and not my my big long discussion of xenophobia; [...]

    Shut it, hippies.

    Yes, for the first time in 3 decades or so, the Canadian dollar actually hit a 1:1 ratio against the US dollar. People are running around, hands in the air, screaming of the end times. “Oh no, think of the tourism industry and the lumber industry!” I thought that it was merely because the US [...]

    Tastes like puppies

    Scott Bateman, voted for the eating of brains again. Scott Bateman, brain eater. When will Scott Bateman learn that puppies and brain eating don’t mix? Puppies good. Brain eating bad. What next? Will he suggest eating the brains of recent immigrants? Don’t listen to Scott Bateman. He knows brain eating, but he doesn’t know puppies. [...]

    Summer of short film

    by  • 9/16/2007 • animation, festival, film, Halifax, movies • 0 Comments

    Well, I’ve always liked short films; partly due to the fact that the bad ones are just over faster. I’d argue that the 90-120 minute range should be more of an exception, with more films aiming to be in the 45 minute range. Think of the Hollywood blockbusters that could have been better dealt with [...]

    Right in his face

    by  • 9/16/2007 • angst, life • 1 Comment

    I laughed right in the face of an old man today. He asked me something that struck me as insane, and I laughed right in his face. This made it a bit uncomfortable for the next half hour that we waited in line to buy movie tickets for “Wiener Takes All”, but if I had [...]

    Selfishness Genetics

    by  • 9/12/2007 • science • 0 Comments

    The more I understand meiosis, and how chromosomes work, the more I think Evolution Deniers are insane. The simple process by which chromosomes are picked out from tiny bits of your 23 pairs of chromosomes, seemingly at random, to provide the starting blocks of your offspring seems surprisingly simplistic. It seems that evolution is unavoidable, [...]

    Scientific Method

    by  • 9/10/2007 • angst, atheism • 0 Comments

    I found most of the following in the middle of some silly argument on Facebook (that I’m not part of). Reformatted ita bit and added the recursion. Scientific Method: Observations -> Hypothesis -> Test -> Data -> Data Analysis -> Conclusion Repeat as needed. Faith Method: No Observations -> Belief Do not question.
