That is some good-ass shit. Puts whole new meaning into the term greenhouse gas emissions. I wonder if the packaging will come with methane listed among sugar and carbohydrates.
I still feel like burgers. I don't lose my appetite. As for the lottery, I'd settle for a million dollars. I'm (somewhat)young, working and still enjoy it(mostly for coworkers), so I'd take out enough to buy a condo or something and bank the rest for when I feel like retiring.
This will never happen in the US. Not in the foreseeable future. The liberals hate it and the conservatives hate it because nobody supports science and everyone actively dislikes stem cell research. I mean, seriously. My elementary school teachers were telling my classmates and I how horrible it was. With indoctrination at that age, we'll be lucky if there's any support generations from now.
We're in the middle up here. Human stem cell research is allowed(and funded, even by the government), but the derivation is currently heavily restricted. Scientists are not allowed to create embryos, zygotes and whatnot for the purpose of research(after 2002... I read the Act pertaining to this and it doesn't mention "purchase", so who knows what's going on there). They are restricted to use previously harvested cells and ones obtained under other conditions. We are heavily involved in the research though. The one thing Canada is really good at, science.
Einstein was largely responsible, yes. And he emigrated to the United States. Therefore, he was an American of German blood. SO WE TOTALLY GET CREDIT.
Also, it was the Manhattan Project, funded by the United States government and containing mostly scientists who were born here or had citizenship here. So, again, America.
Well we got Peanut butter, java script and basketball(I'll always hate us for that).... yeah, okay, so we're known more for science...blackberry, 56k modem, pager, walkie talkie, Canadarm, electric wheelchair and numerous science patents.
Guys! I finally found the person who has been buying all these simulation games!
Its not some dodgy old git, but a 10-12 year old lad from my town!
Man that kid was awesome. Loved pretty much everything simulation.
We had a real proper conversation as well. Kid was practically an adult in a childs body.
The way he spoke, his body language, how he criticised his brothers purchases (they bought Moshi Monster Toys, the current fad among kids).
Heard of the stuff I mentioned (e.g. he was talking about wanting a mining simulator, so I suggested minecraft (probably the closest but still fun), and he said that he had heard of it from a friend always egging him to try it, but he hasn't had the chance to buy it yet)
I talked about how tough helicopter simulators are, and he agreed and added that he has been extra cautious about his model helicopter he bought for £99, so he was already aware of how difficult they can be to fly, (then he was bragging about how he could fly his upside-down, which is pretty damn awesome!)
I think I made his day, since he thanked me for talking to him, and said he looked forward to another chat.
Fantastic. Fantastic! Its why I love this job on checkouts. Its simple work, but the people you can meet are just fascinating.
I'm just kind of kicking myself for not suggesting Mount & Blade: Warband, or Capitalism 2 to the lad, since those are amongst the most unique of sims.
Heck, I bet he might have liked Crusader Kings as well.
Damn! Getting all gushy over a kid, but I can't help it. I have a soft spot for them. They fascinate and astound me.

Canadarm does kick some ass, and some day I'll likely hurt my arms or something and need an electric wheelchair. Also, your country filmed the revival of Battlestar Galactica and gave the world William Shatner, Morgan Webb AND MICHEAL GODDAMN HOGAN.
Pants, you are a glorious godsend. I needed more references for my cyber security class and my thesis is on catching potnogroaphers as an excuse to censor the Internet.

I think there's something similar in place in the US, but because nobody is allowed to make more stem cells, the research is painstakingly slow because nobody wants to waste them. And the grants are really hard to get in addition to that.
Probably even if somebody managed to make a stem cell from a standard skin cell, they wouldn't be allowed to use it because once something becomes a stem cell, it's technically a new person. Even if that new person would then be a clone.
Also, I'll put Canada on my list of possible places to relocate to when they start burning scientists. It's only a matter of time, you know before this anti-scientist sentiment steadily growing here.
I had a whole monologue written up about it, but really its pretty pathetic when I go around posting them, so I decided against it.
It was basically about how much I suck, and how everyone I know is doing great, and making me feel even more sucky about how pathetic I am.
I'll be alright tomorrow after a good sleep, probably so ignore this attention seeking post that a part of me is compelled to post anyway.
(Stupid brain! Why must there be so many fragmented and conflicting elements colliding around in there. Some order and clarity would be nice for once, but noooooo, we have to go around the magic roundabout a few times before anything remotely sticks together to form something moderately coherent... BLAH! >:/)

Einstein was largely responsible, yes. And he emigrated to the United States. Therefore, he was an American of German blood. SO WE TOTALLY GET CREDIT.
Einstein was successively German, stateless, Swiss, Austria-Hungarian, Prussian and American. So take your pick! It's no problem. I even got used to calling Georg Friedrich Händel a British composer.
So today I look at my results so far, and it turns out I'm not so much of a screwup after all.
Infact I think I got lucky.
I actually managed to pass both exams I thought I screwed up on, so that leaves me with two assignments to do in 8 days.
I can do this.
I've worked on both of these last year. I know the deal.
Just get them done and hand them in. Doesn't even need to be great either, since they are capped at 40% and I only need a low grade in each to pass the modules.
I can do this. I can pass. Then I can focus on getting placements. I still have time.
EDIT: This is the best position to be in for me. Nothing to lose, only to gain.
No pressure, no uncertainty, just opportunity.
So my folks own a bar. Apparently yesterday a woman nearly died in the bathroom. Or she did die and was revived. Anyhow. So my folks where getting ready to leave, when my dad goes into the bar, presumable to say goodbye to my sister. He comes back out about 5 minutes later to tell my mother, "there's a naked deaf woman in the bathroom having a seizure." It's all things you never expect to hear in your life, man.

There was a 50 year old lady wearing really nice clothes who came up to our made to order station and straight up stole our tip when our backs were turned. She was a part of the group of older folk here for the finance seminar. Both my partner and i's (both under 30) income combined don't reach 40000 a year. This was also after she had special ordered her eggs in a way that we had to stop normal work for just her.
I just shot and killed a thief. That makes me a real man.
Yay! I took the life of a sentient being. Go me!
I'm awesome; unlike those beatnik, pussified hippies.
[IMG][/IMG] This is a real man. You can tell by all the guns.
[IMG][/IMG] This "man" is a gay. You can tell because he's holding a flower instead of a gun. Also, he's clearly all lovey-dovey for that woman. So gay.
What's with all this either or business? I own guns, believe in the castle doctrine AND buy flowers for my girl. Are you, like, trying to pick a fight or something?
Also, sometimes it is entirely warranted to take a life during the course of self defense. Excuse me if I'd rather trust my gun than police response times in this area. Excuse me further if I didn't want to take my chances with what some bat wielding thug might do to me and whoever else is in my house.
You don't have to like my approach to home security, and you don't have to like that I own guns, but your method of complaint leaves much to be desired and your presumption that *all* gun owners find giving flowers to their girls and being in love with them "so gay" is wholly inaccurate.

The.analogies that could be made. Holy cow.
Little interactions like that are why I have no faith in humanity. Seriously, what the fucking hell?

Only if it has you with a used car salesman smile and tacky advertising slogans on it.
In other news, I'm totally saved.
Aww man, think of the possibilities. I deem this slightly more useful than the shit burger they invented last year.
3,900,000,000 hungarian forint .
God dammit. I was going to make a burger for breakfast. No longer.
0g sugars
0g trans fat
100g protein
100g methane
Every time I think of burgers for breakfast, I think of Pulp Fiction. Then I imagine the scene playing out in my head. Then I smile a little.

You're alright in my book.
...And then I ned to start sewing. Lots and lots of sewing.

Yup, Geoffrey Lebowski. So puzzlebox' dude's name could be Geoffrey, which is both the actor's and the role's name of the dude movie.

Einstein was successively German, stateless, Swiss, Austria-Hungarian, Prussian and American. So take your pick! It's no problem. I even got used to calling Georg Friedrich Händel a British composer.
Sure, why not?
Well, that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Think

Why was she naked?!
