Quickies

  • Darwin strikes again: Kung fu fan tries to stop train. I swear I am totally going to learn how to pronounce “Xianglongshibazhang!”, and I am totally going to yell it out whenever I see someone being unutterably stupid.
  • Ha-ha: Roy Moore Loses. Not a judge anymore, not a governor either. Apparently even in Alabama there’s some people who can’t get behind the Ten Commandments. Me, I can get behind “no killing”, “no stealing”, “no adultery”, and “no false witness”, and I can understand why it might be a good thing to get behind “honouring your parents” although I have a lot of trouble with it. The rest give me varying amounts of trouble.
  • Wasn’t this story a bad movie with Pierce Brosnan back in the early 90s? Except back then, forensic science was taught at college, not a high school, of course.
  • Excellent reference for cypherpunks-in-training. Free.

    I totally dare you to yell out “Xianglongshibazhang!” on your next conference call when a colleague says something you don’t agree with.

    Example: “Chris, you need to finish this project by Monday, even if that means working through the weekend”.

    “Xianglongshibazhang!”
