Ugh....

There's a point with chest and sinus infections in which the recovery is worse than actually being ill.

That's the point in which your body, having happily spent the time being an Easy-Bake mucus factory, suddenly decides to get rid off all of it's carefully handmade varicoloured gunk, often as violently as possible. Several hectares of tropical rain forest have been felled to produce enough tissue paper to blow my nose / cough up my lungs in.

Much of it ends up draining into the digestive tract. The resulting sensation being a level of nausea not unlike that experienced by listening to Pat Boone singing a cover of "Lovely Lady Lumps"

Feh

Observation

An infinite number of monkeys, using an infinite number of compliers, will eventually code a GroupWise client.

And it would more than likely be more stable than the Novell version too.

Danger Bomb Clock

In the "Inhumane ways to wake you up" department, todays entry comes from (where else?) Japan.

It's the Danger Bomb Clock, a clock that forces you to reconnect a randomly changing wire sequence to turnn it off. The right wire turns the alarm off. The wrong wire sets off an explosion sound.

WTF???

Dog's Ear Severed, Glued On By Groomer, Owner Says

"Anni Sheriffius said she was trying to wash off what she thought was dirt on her dog Jasmine’s ear when the ear fell off.

Sheriffius rushed her dog to the veterinarian to learn that the dog’s ear had been cut off by a dog groomer and super-glued back on.

“And I saw the ear float away, and it freaked me out,” Sheriffius said.

Jasimine, a shi tzu, had to undergo treatment for an infection.

Sheriffius said she still has the ear in a plastic bag, and has been crying for weeks at the thought of someone hurting her dog."

nolly inflicted this on me yesterday:

Smart Guys Date in Parallel

"So a few days ago, I was on the phone, whining to my dad about throwing a Fifth Annual F—— Valentine’s Day party and trying to figure out my personal life. My dad listened thoughtfully, and then began explaining to me what I was doing wrong.

The problem, he said, is that I date girls serially.



Let’s let V be potential difference between dating girls and doing something productive, I be current of love, and R be resistance to current flow. The problem with serial dating is the same as with serial circuits. If resistance starts to increase, you’re stuck: because V = IR, and R is increasing, I must decrease to hold the equality. Worse still, because P = IV, you’re just not going to have as much power with the increased resistance. Note on the above diagram that current is a lousy 214 mA, and we’re only able to get 1.93 “jewels” from our relationships. This is even worse than it seems: because there’s only one path—through all relationships—you’ll end up spending the majority of your energy on the relationship with the greatest resistance, which is exactly the opposite of what you want to do.

darrelx, you may want to check out confurvatives

"The name of this community really describes it. ConFURvatives are Furries who are conservative, right-winged, republican, or even just Christian.

Unlike other political communities that often have constant arguing between liberals and conservatives - ConFURvatives is strictly for conservatives and is not for liberal/conservative debate, but rather, conservative discussion. Membership is moderated to insure the group stays 100% right-wing. The reason for this is to eliminate flaming of conservatives - since being one in the furry fandom isn't the easiest of things to be."
