Here is a tellephone call with Astronaut Scott Carpenter speaking to President Johnson from the helium atmosphere in the 1963 Sealab II project. The President's operator is very suspicous of Scott's voice and they have some trouble getting connected to the President.

I was quiet impressed with the fact both headlight bulbs in my Hyundai died in the same week after ~13 years of use. If the lifetime were anymore consistent I might have been stuck in the dark without replacements; as it was I had the second replacement close at hand when I needed it.
I admit this is not very relevant to the topic at hand but horrah for chaos and randomness.
The worms that go in are long and thin,
The worms that come out are fat and stout.
Not the best place to ask I imagine but...
Does anyone know which Pouges song these lyrics were from?
(it might have been more of an intro to the song rather than actual lyrics as they have never come up on a search)
I didn't see this episode but I assume it is a homage to Dice Man by Luke Rhinehart. The purpose of the dice in the book was quite different as it was a way to achieve freedom by removing his responsibility in choices. It was a pretty interesting and thought provoking read so I thought I'd recomend it here.

I've never failed to get a job after serving the interviewer with a Gargle Blaster and despite the reoccurring dreams noticing I'm half naked in the middle of the interview has never been a hindrance.
On the other hand being over qualified, under qualified or just plain nervous have been problems. I'm glad it turns out that in these cases the interviewer was in the wrong rather than myself.
I like the way it works in video games, such as Wipeout and a hundred others. To recharge your electric car without even stopping just pull into the lane with the glowing >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and in a matter of seconds your fully charged. If your car could be charged every few miles you would need far smaller battery packs saving weight and whatever rare or unpleasant materials your batteries are made of.
I hate filling my car with gas in the winter and I'm not keen on the concept continuing with electric vehicles. In fifteen years of driving I've rarely ever emptied an entire tank in a single journey, I fill up because of the inconvenience not because I need the range.
I'm aware of certain impracticalities with the above suggestion but electric vehicles are different to ICE vehicles and we shouldn't cripple them by relying on infrastructure and ideas based on the latter.
My alternate (more fun but even less practical) idea involves distributing and then irritating huge numbers of Yorkshiremen hitch-hikers. You look for one who wants to go in the opposite direction to which you heading and you then just coast downhill both ways.
I visited the caves in Tunisia that were used whilst filming Star Wars and they seemed ideal for the environment. Cool, private and comfortable would suit me just fine. Relocate it to Canada and shovelling snow would be an appalling prospect but a more appropriate underground dwelling still has plenty of advantages year round.
"Evening Moosefuckers; I'll tell you what I hate about Canada. Half of you speak French and the other half let them." Jerry Sadowitz moments before being punched in the face by an audience member.
In all seriousness though since I moved to Canada nearly a decade ago I am extremely grateful to the Quebec voters during the last election and their positive influences to Canadian culture overall. Most detractors appear quite self centred to me and only able to focus on what other groups are receiving. I often hear the same views with regard aboriginal people and in the UK there was the same attitude towards European immigrants. It used to drive me mad when people complained blamed immigrants for their inability to get a job. I felt privileged to have the right to work in any EU country that took my fancy and if your too lazy and ignorant to appreciate that right I'd suggest that is a more significant reason for your unemployment.
I'm Canadian and use it for postal codes. They don't look right in lower case, I can't coordinate my fingers quite well enough and the Post Office gets confused by L!C@H7

This sounds really stupid and surely you end up best at the sport you enjoy and practice the most. I think this will just show which parent have the pushiness gene.
I was about to go on a sailing trip when I saw the photos and although there was no chance of seeing something similar in the Mediterranean it did get me excited about the amazing things you can see on our planet.
The term 'Intellectual property' was adopted as a more sympathetic term by the World Intellectual Property Organization in the 60's to replace the previously used phrase "industrial entities who've had the contours of their regulatory monopolies violated".
There are a number of good articles by Cory Doctrow on intellectual property and digital information in general but basically he argues that we have to recognise the differences between knowledge and property or face 'an endless war between intractable positions of ownership, theft and fair dealing.'

I was amused to see a can of WD-40 being wielded above an F1 car before it left the garage for qualifying ealier in this season.
I had a temporary warehouse job where I worked with drug sniffing drones; generally a bunch of tedious mother&*@#*s.

Your maths is a little wrong in the second case. You still only sell two games and Gamestop or whomever sells the third.

How do you make a duck soulful?
Put it in the microwave till it's Bill Withers.
And don't forget how much bigger an assload is today than 20 years ago.

This is one of the least offensive sketches from Jam but it still contains bad language and is NSFW.

The actual show is probably Not Safe for Decent People but is awesome if you have a deviant sense of humor and can find a suitable time to laugh.
