Sorry, you are not the one

I’ve been answering the phone with “This is ” for years. It’s nice for a few reasons:

  1. People calling the wrong number immediately know this. There is no uncomfortable conversations with people who have no idea who they are talking to.
  2. I don’t ever accidentally answer my cell phone like it’s my work phone (elf I’m looking at you).
  3. It generally causes people to skip the first 30 seconds of the conversation that establishes that both parties are doing well and that nothing is up.

I thought I was the “Only One”!

Mr. Dijkstra, you are my hero. CS people know him because of his Narcissistic tendencies, most notably naming an algorithm after himself. I mean, who names anything after themselves?

Well, to the point, Dijkstra had the EWD manuscripts, and in one, EWD 1036, he notes something I have been wondering about myself for years…

We are hardly less primitive: why do we persist here in answering the telephone with the most unhelpful “hello” instead of our name?

The real cause of global warming

I found this graph about the Earth’s average temperature and couldn’t resist sharing it.

Global warming

I found this while reading the Open Letter To Kansas School Board from the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Truly a thinking man’s religion.

From one of the Kansas School Board member responses:

Thank you for adding levity to this situation. You have developed quite a following. I was wondering if we could reverse the effects of global warming if we started breeding pirates.

As if we needed another reason

We have already discussed how sex can be financially rewarding.

Now, the next time your significant other or current fling denies you the nookie you so rightfully deserve, just point him/her/them to this website.

You can thank me later.

History Channel FTW

The History Channel is running a “Hardcore Kinky Tech” show or something along those lines. It is entertaining. The reason I bring it up though is for one particular item.

Condoms

Yeah, they suck. But back in WWII they were funny. The one they showed was called the “Anti-Baby Condom”. As a rule I’m pro-Anti-Baby anything. I support this condom.
