san diego is a very educational city. while walking downtown i learned from a little girl who was arguing with her mother that math doesn't exist on the moon. should you ever need to escape a math test, it may be your only option.

two other nuggets of wisdom i also just picked up while watching pbs: whales have the largest penises on the planet at 10 feet long, and their testes weigh one ton.

i really with this were an april fool's joke, but it's not. root a windows box with an animated cursor.

this is the cutest thing i've seen in a while, and i'm not a big subscriber to the cute camp. not only that, but this little robot starts pumping out some serious moves for not having any arms or legs. watch and be hypnotized.

you need speakers or headphones.

i just found out the following about an unnamed friend of mine:
while he was in college he called his mom to have her send him a key from his desk drawer at home. however, he realized that his porno stash was also in said desk and decided it wasn't the best idea to have her rooting around so close to such risque material. in typical [unnamed friend] style, he told her to ship him the whole desk because he needed one in his dorm.
genius. pure genius.

it's funny because it's true.

i've seen the guy on the right before, he's got a site dedicated to the tron suit he built. and i don't think it was for halloween.

i haven't posted anything lately because of the lack of eventful events in the past week. i decided to find something to post just to make sure you're all still paying attention, and the first thing that came to mind was cuddly bunnies. lo and behold, the first google images result for a "cuddly bunnies" search brings you to this page:

i hope it warms your soul as much as it did mine. be sure to check out the dog size bunnies, bunnies on leashes, potty trained bunnies, and a man that makes me believe all elderly british men resemble farmer hoggett from the movie babe.

random post for you, just to keep it fresh. two songs i'm currently recommending because they're good:
bob dylan - don't think twice
neil young - heart of gold

and a bonus song, because i'm feeling generous and/or can't count:
val bennett - the russians are coming
it's a 1968 reggae cover of dave brubecks' "take five". good stuff.

i am so bitter right now. i currently have the flu with a fever of 102.5, and i had the stomach flu a couple of weeks ago, but that's not why i'm bitter. i just remembered that i paid $20 for a flu shot a few months ago, and look at all the good it did me. i thought i was supposed to be some sort of super human, with flu viruses sliding off my skin like water off a duck's back. another dream shattered.

i'm an uncle as of 9:59pm last night. i don't know if i'm ready for the added responsibilities that unclehood brings- being a good role model, taking her to baseball games, instilling upon her an erudite hatred of pop culture, and so forth. god forbid i should have my own child.
