Spark Of Stupidity
Here’s another lesson, only this time, the dumbass teaching it has a name. Courtesy of Gary Lee Albertson, we learn that tires are not just for decoration. If you are towing a truck home that has no tires, and it’s dragging on the road, that will cause sparks, and enough sparks can cause fires. In …
Car Fire, Car Fire, Na Na Na Na Na, Na!
Theme song time. Here’s a very explosive lesson, taught by two unnamed males and an unnamed female in Bellevue. It is not at all safe to pour gas directly into your carburetor via a water bottle while you are driving. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s also not safe to keep the remainder of your …
The 1950’s Called. They Want Their Segregation Policies Back.
Oh boy. I sort of understand what they’re going for, but I still don’t like it. I envision a very slippery slope, and I don’t trust humanity to avoid it. In Lancaster, PA, they’ve seen that having role models helps kids do better. So, at one high school, they’re going to separate some of them …

I forget how this all started on Twitter, but we got talking about relationship statuses. Then James sent me this gem of a song.

I don’t know how to feel about this. Yeah, maybe they can take something …
Meetup, Thumbs Down
Ug. I hate having to write angry posts, but I have to. Remember back in October when I said that Meetup’s interface had taken yet another accessibility crap? Well, they just took another one. On Thursday, they rolled out their interface that they consider to be just beautiful. That same day, I went to schedule …
Really, The F Word Is Quite A Good Word!
I’m posting this um, erm, grammar lesson, for 3 reasons. First, I saw it on Weird Universe and it gave me flashbacks. I forget who found this back when I was at school, but I remember listening to it over, and over, and over again, probably until my room-mate wanted to employ the starring word …
