i guess I do a little bit. I also like the smell of cut wood. though I really doubt that makes me evil. I like sustainable forestry. I'm not 100% against forestry. obviously it has to happen for us to have paper, and houses and furniture and all sorts of other stuff, so I'd rather be a part of an industry that's working sustainably (and these guys are all taught the 'good' stuff) than one that's not... hence my thoughts on getting into particular areas of study for my masters (enhanced forest management) holy shit, have I just made a complete discussion of why I want to do my masters? hmm... interesting. See, that's part of the problem with being interested in plants, often you can't get much more than industry work - because why else would anyone be interested in plants? - with forestry and agriculture, and quite frankly I'd prefer forestry to ag. I think I always have. mmm trees... so yeah, there's nothing wrong with chainsaws as long as they're used properly and the cut is sustainable.

Well, Jess, if you're sure it will actually take you forever, there's a tedious solution to your problem that will take a finite amount of time. And, since finite time, no matter how long, is less than forever, you'll finish sooner.
And such is the logic of math, as well as algorithm design. (The fine people who brought you the "2+2=5 for large values of 2" proof.)
And if that doesn't hurt the mind, how about these?
- Q: What is the difference between a duck?
A: One leg is both the same. - Q: How many elephants can you fit in a VW Bug?
A: Four. Two in the front, two in the back.
Q: How can you tell if an elephant is in your refrigerator?
A: There's a footprint in the mayo.
Q: How can you tell if two elephants are in your refrigerator?
A: There's two footprints in the mayo.
Q: How can you tell if three elephants are in your refrigerator?
A: The door won't shut.
Q: How can you tell if four elephants are in your refrigerator?
A: There's a VW Bug in your driveway.

in a far less downer note (sorry to hear that Jess - good luck), they're doing logger sports outside! This is so AWESOME!!! There are days, and then there are days... and this is one of those days where EVERYTHING IS AWESOME! We got our funding from MEC, people are borrowing our library bikes, and they're doing timber sports outside. I love it! Chainsaws, axe throwing, and burling haha! so freakin' cool. man, did I pick the right faculty or what!

This is brutal. I'm trying to write a paper based on these three novels, all of which are written in a sort of stream-of-consciousness, non-chronological style. So I'll remember this one moment and then I'll have to flip through the entire novel to look for that one paragraph in a series of one-paragraph non-linear scenes. It may actually take me forever.

I think I posted Bloodninja awhile back. No matter how many times I run into it, it's always funny.

Like I said before, if it wasn't the F-22 raptor then it couldn't of shot down Airforce one. It probally was the normal 747 airforce one. If it was the NCAP Airforce one then it would of been nearly impossible to shoot down. It is a upgraded command center airforce one (only used in times when defcon 5 is invoked) which is usually escorted by a wing of F-22s. It also has sophistacated countermeasures againt air-to-air missiles. Interestingly enough air-to-air missiles only track by laser designation, heat signature of engines, or "painted" by a radar beam. All stealth aircrafts except for the F-22 are not capable of firing ait-to-air missiles. I keep on hammering this point home because the lack of realness form a television show is disheartening. Well it was entertaining I suppose, if not base on real world military technology.
