Are you a Santa Claus agnostic, or a Santa Claus atheist? You don't need proof to not believe in preposterous shit, or apparently, to believe in preposterous shit.
While watching the Southpark episode with the evil Stan, Kyle & Cartman from an alternate dimension, I literally fell off the couch laughing at the fact that they all had goatees. It was fucking brilliant. None of my friends understood.

Now the text in the Adobe newsgroups that Google carries (the ones that start with adobe.*) actually wraps into paragraphs instead of single lines that extend seven screen-widths to the right.

You know, back during the original Microsoft antitrust trial with Judge Jackson, David Boies, etc., Microsoft had the former head of Symantec testify for their side. I was DYING for Boies to ask him how he would feel if MS ever created an anti-virus program, but amazingly it never came up. I have a feeling he wouldn't have felt so charitable if their partner suddenly became a competitor.
I've got a Green Lantern cover as my desktop wallpaper at work, and one of our architects came by and saw it, and she said "Ooooh, Green Lantern! Bruce Lee was so cool in that."
"That was Green Hornet, not Green Lantern," I said with mock disdain.
Then she asked me what Green Lantern's origin was. Before I knew it, I had launched into a detailed explanation of Hal Jordan's beginnings. It was surreal. I've never said the words "Abin Sur", "power ring", or "Guardians of Oa" out loud before.
When the story was over we switched back to talking about our firm's marketing materials, but then I paused in mid-sentence and said "I can't believe I just told you Green Lantern's origin". It was so weird, because usually the geekness is kept pretty private. I don't have any like-minded people to talk about comics with. But now when I'm stoned with my girlfriend, I tell her to ask me about the origins of superheroes so I can go off on a long, rambling, tanget-laden story about the Flash(es), or Cyclops & Havok, or how Aquaman lost his hand, etc. It's a lot of fun, and it feels good to share. And my girlfriend is very amused.
Just for kicks, go to MSN's front page and search for Linux. If that's any indication of what their new search engine is going to be like, I'm sure we can rely on it to be a completely accurate and unbiased source of information.

That's okay, most people don't read blogs either.
Not really. Just this 2000 year-old book I found.

It's an invisible dragon.
Hey, did you know there's a dragon in my garage?

Google does have certain mathematical constants. Search for pi, phi, Avogadro's number, Planck's constant, etc.
The Google calculator can also do all kinds of weird conversions...how many decimeters in 3 lightyears? How many fortnights in 2 millennia?
Or you can give people a link.

Nail him for what?
Is the "Burley Man" stuff a reference to Barton Fink?

Remember: Bureaucracy elevates conformity...Make that elevates "fatal stupidity" to the status of religion.
"Paradox, Great Honored Matre. Science must be innovative. It brings change. That's why science and bureaucracy fight a constant war."
I even use Proxomitron to change the hideous mustard-yellow on this very page to a much less offensive grey.
Honest to god...it gives me a headache otherwise.

Here's the article I think he's referring to: Oakland survivors of home decorating TV show try to paint over cracks in friendship
Something about him bugs me.
Maybe the fact that his home state would rather elect a dead man as their Senator than him?
