Conversations from work
I fired up the laptop to regale you all with this post and got 20+ pounds of Needy Cat in the lap for my trouble. I am currently typing twisted left at the waist, lest the kitten be sad. She whines, you see. I am a bit of a pushover for kittens.
Awesome quote from Survivorman: "Nobody wants to have a psychotic episode out here, now." Australian outback. He just ran across signs of 'feral sheep.' I imagine in Australia even the sheep are poisonous.
Anyway, some recent conversations from work. A few days ago we discussed the merits of a cybernetic anus, including whether or not such a thing is possible, since to be cybernetic something has to be both mechanical and organic. So we're not sure if the anus itself can be cybernetic, or if it would have to really be a robotic anus. One of the guys suggested a robotic anus could include a sense of taste, so he could fit his dog with one, so said dog might be able to get by without eating his own poop.
Today, the young minion (he who is on the poop to Batman scale) was mocked by the entire office, including the boss, for not knowing what a palindrome was. We then taught him what it was by telling him words that were palindromes and waiting for him to figure out what they had in common. He did.
Dammit, more people need to post things they want for xmas. I did, you should too. Otherwise I might get you something you aren't sure if you want, like a tattoo. :p
