Note about google: There is no conspiracy, alison. There is no top-down control of results. Everything is ranked automagically, based on the number of links to a given page. If people link to Banana Republic and include the word 'banana' in the link, Banana Republic's ranking increases. (More here.) It's one of those AI things that I know how works, but still amazes me with its bottom-up nature.

Oh, and Anish actually has one of those Banana Guards... and is ridiculously proud of it.

So I read this Trailer Review for the new Wonder Twins movie, and the whole way down, I'm thinking "You're joking." Every single detail (for example, that it stars David Schwimmer), my first thought is "you're joking." Then I get to the bottom, read the recommendation for whether people should see the movie ("Yes (paid commercial announcement)") and thought "Oh... you're joking." It disturbs me about Hollywood that I believed this movie was being made, because it's not the most ridiculous movie out now.

props to that, Al. It sounds like your project is becoming full-fledgedly kick-ass. Way to do!


Case-in-point: no problem is too great that a little imbibing can't fix!

Oh as for roughing up people. We got a Electrical engineering professor's help as well as a Computer Engineering Grad student's. Yeah for my group and roughing people up! No this isn't a april fool joke. Beer got us the grad student, our "reputatuion" got us the professor.

Hey I'm going to be at the U at around 8:30 as well! Who wants to see my fire protection thingy in action? If you stick around untill 3:00 Pm then it should be fine.

Yeah that was me, I couldn't get the image to copy into my post,
Just reviewing the meet the prof night and MC P. Bic was just layin down some rhymes and I was making fun of him for that.

Speaking of which, Tony, paul and I got interviewed by the CBC guys on the friendliness of edmontonians, hopefully it will be on sometime this weekend, I'm stoked.

Woooooooooo! Now that's extreme.

haha! I just thought I'd mess with ya.

I like yagoohoogle... here are the top sites for 'banana' from google: bananarepublic.com and from yahoo: www.bananaguard.com Chiquita was about 3rd. Why couldn't they go with just bananas? but no... clothing, and some bizarre plastic contraption (check out bananaguard... it's strange, and LAME)

Deciding not to let stuff go, alison?

Well, if you want party pooper, here you go: the Snopes list of April Fools' pranks

This includes a picture of water on Mars and the awesomely cool Yagoohoogle merger (just try a search. I dares you.) It, sadly, does not include the BBC requesting an interview from Bob Marley.

Oh, and I found this pic that someone tried to post. Any explanations? I'm looking at you, Gaut.

Par, I saw two links, and in the green, I can see the awful fonted damnyouparas.com I don't know what else is concerning you... so if there's anything more... you're on your own, party pooper.

Yeah. I'm thinking 9pm at the earliest. but I'm going to be really lame too. I have to be back on campus tomorrow at 8:30 am, so I'll only be having y'all over for one movie at the most. You're all welcome to come. I'm going to be out before then though, so you can't call to talk to me. and... for any of you planning on being in the vicinity of the university tomorrow, I'd advise you to avoid the roads... I'll be taking a van-driving course, and we're going to be driving through pylons... should be, um, dangerous! awesome

I don't care how you guys do it, but I need a Computer Engineer and a Electrical Engineer right now!Rough someone up if you have to but I need one to finish my project!

Par
i only see two - oh wait thats what i am supposed to see

so i think you drank to much on your flight over there.

And just an update - my bone is not broken - just flatened or crushed

Alison - did i hear movies at your house tonight?
