[redacted]: any prospects?
me: nope
me: no fun
me: i enjoy my meaningless crushes
[redacted]: maybe you should get a non-meaningless crush.

It works.

It took almost two hours and a napkin drawing, but today someone was finally able to explain  the game of cricket to me.

None of it was making sense until I was able to grasp the concept of defensive offense.

Or something like that.

This is what happens at happy hour with IT people.

Really, everyone should listen to this. It can’t possibly do anything but make your day better.

On repeat.

After a federal judge issued a temporary order against BlueBeat parent Media Rights Technologies instructing the company to cease and desist the streaming and/or selling of Beatles tracks, the Wall Street Journal’s Ethan Smith interviewed attorney Archie Robinson, who’s defending MRT CEO Hank Risan. Robinson told the presumably bewildered reporter that Risan had developed a system called “psychoacoustic simulation,” enabling him to sell music that sounds identical to recordings without actually infringing on copyrights. “My client is a genius who is very well versed in psychoacoustics and has been studying this field for years,” Robinson said in a telephone interview. “And we believe he’s got a method of transmitting sound recordings into a virtual 3-D environment that approximates as closely as possible a live performance and…that’s why we believe that the downloads are not infringing.” (via)

Me: I wish people kept me in the loop.

Him: Keep you in the dark and feed you sh**!

“So help me Hanna, had I hit that elephant, not swerved, it would have knocked it off its legs, and it would have landed right on top of us,” he said. “We’d have been history.”

That would be Enid, Oklahoma if anyone is wondering.

Mike and Julie Boyde practiced safe-sex consistently until their wedding night. After the I-Do’s, they both said I-Don’t to prophylactics, leading to an immediate, painful discovery: Julie’s allergic to Mike’s mix.

After numerous tests and doctors visits, the couple were eventually told that Julie suffers from seminal plasma hypersensitivity.

Dr Andrew Goldstein said: ‘The body recognizes the sperm as a foreign protein, like it would recognize a peanut allergen or a pollen so you have swelling, you have itching, you have inflammation of the nerve endings.’

It means that her body attacks Mike’s sperm, making it inactive.

The inconceivable couple will pursue adoption.
