Through a device called Nomad, people will be able to read information from a small, wearable computer that projects an image over their normal vision.'" Looks like they've come a long way in the past three years.

    I think humor is one of the last things left that our peculiar western society allows us to make purely subjective value judgements about. Things that were once morally unthinkable are now valid lifestyle choices. Prejudice, even if based on experience or education, is unacceptable. Wanna shut down the conversation at a dinner party? Start expressing the opinion that certain things are just absolutely right and others are absolutely wrong.

    But funny is always open to interpretation. If it ain't funny, you're free to say so. Loudly, if you want. Won't offend anybody.

    So yeah, I guess you could say I subscribe to a universal humor scale whereby everything is judged. It's called my sense of humor, and I consider it absolute.

    Nyah.
