Gah... I hate it when I have four things to do and can't make progress on any of them...
Teller Speaks!
(By the way, Penn and Teller received the 2005 Richard Dawkins award. Also, a new season of Bullshit! starts April 25th)
The Sinatra Group
Life Hacks:
Hey home entertainers! Do you have candle wax dried in your rug or carpet? Spread a sheet of newspaper over the wax and go over it a few times with a hot iron. The wax will free from your carpet and stick to the newspaper.
Hey sexual deviants! Do you have candle wax dried to your feet? First, you’ll need some newspaper…

that's awful. I didn't say I had a thing for chainsaws. there's just something distinctively nostalgic and wonderful about the smell of cut wood and the roar of a chainsaw (which can also be evil in other situations - like clear cuts). man, you (you know who you are) have too much sex on the brain. I wasn't trying to sexualize timber sports, I just think they're awesome in their down-to-earth raw non-commercialized/exploited form.

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!
