People are Crafty

Think about it. In nature, a lion (say) will go after the weakest member of the herd, removing it’s slow genes from the gene pool. As a result, the average wildebeest (or whatever) is now more able to evade the average lion. The lions are naturally selecting the wildebeests to be faster. Hence, an evolutionary arms race. However, we as a species have managed to do the opposite and artificially select our prey species to be slower, dumber, more docile, and easier to predate.

Exhibit A: the Cow. The cow as it exists today wouldn’t last a month in the wild.

Ray Comfort’s people are here at U of M handing out that copy of The Origin of Species. I declined. There is a perfectly good copy in the library.

Also, I’m not going to miss blogging for this month.

RIP Geocities

October 27th, 2009 Chuck.P No comments

Yahoo! is dismantling Geocities, home of many a web developers first page. I never used it, because I couldn’t get it to load the one time I tried. So my first website was over at Angelfire.

Geocities’ Time has expired

Radio Radio

Two radio related mini-posts.

Rush Limbaugh is a frakin’ idiot. Nobody forced anyone to watch Obama’s speech. Not a soul. Schools chose to show it. Nothing in his message was the least bit controversial, and it wouldn’t have been. They’re kids for fuck’s sake.

Text of Obama’s speech.

Also, a weird thing. I don’t like cars (other than my pimp-mobile), and I don’t fancy auto-repair. However, I love Car Talk on NPR. Love it. It’s so entertaining.

Bureaucracy + Smilies =/= Professional

So tax day is coming up, or past, or something (I did mine months ago), so here’s a little tax-themed post for you. The Arkansas state government apparently want to show you that they feel your pain in the tax-paying process, and so added smiley and frowney faces to the Refund (ln 53) and Tax Due (ln 54) lines, respectively.

What the fuck is wrong with you, Arkansas? This isn’t the kind of thing that conveys a “Responsible Government” message. More like a “Our Comptroller brought his kid into work a few weeks ago” message.

Oh my God, they killed Kutner!

April 10th, 2009 Chuck.P No comments

My first thoughts regarding Monday’s episode of House: what the fuck? Those bastards just killed off my favorite (pretty much be default) character among House’s medical minions. I mean, I understand they had to segue Kal Penn off the show becuse he’s going to work for the Obama Administration, and they got to use the opportunity to film a Very Special Episode, but I would have tried to give the happy(-ish) character a happy ending.

When Forman and 13 found him lying on the floor, you couldn’t see the blood, and I just assumed he was going to be the patient of the week; this struck me as king of shlocky, but I’d have far preferred them to have killed him off medically than suicide. I know this wouldn’t give House any character development, but I don’t think sacraficing the only relatable character in the core cast for some probably-transient character development (which I guess only serves the purpose of getting House and Cuddy to bone) is such a smart move; this is why I am not a script-writer.

I also found the online memorial a bit…tacky.
