Geek alert: today's Google Doodle is fucking hilarious. It's also interactive (you get to "play" a sort of mini-episode, complete with closing credit sequence.)

Now, mega-nerd:

Dr. Heywood Floyd: I love a hot dog.
Walter Curnow: The Astrodome. Good hot dogs.
Dr. Heywood Floyd: Astrodome? You can't grow good hot dogs indoors. Yankee Stadium, September. Hot dogs have been boiling since the opening day in April. That's a hot dog.
Walter Curnow: The yellow mustard, or the darker one?
Dr. Heywood Floyd: Darker.
Walter Curnow: It's important.

No points, I googled it.

So, in the movies, the way the heroes finally defeat the evil, malevolent AI is to feed it some kind of logical paradox which causes it to lock up / melt down / etc., except for those cases in which the AI says to them "You stupid fool, I possess (name of magical technology) which protects me against logical paradoxes" and then proceeds to grind them into dust?

I will now conduct an experiment to see if it is possible to break Scott in a similar manner. (Consider this an ultra-cute version of the Turing test.) I present to you: My Little Kitty.

My mom works for a non-profit that provides health care in Title 1 schools. She gets all the dregs of society through her office door. When she was down town, she had a new absurd name once a week. This year she's out in the country, and just has meth baby stories that make your heart hurt.... :/

:party:

Combine those off the wall, made up names with doctors bad hand writing and you are left with a lot of fun trying to guess what the name is and how it's supposed to be spelled.

You can really notice a lot of racial trends in this field.

(Yes, I had to look a few of those up.)

Or the smoot, where 1 smt is defined as the height of Oliver R. Smoot, MIT alum and later chair of the ANSI. As part of his pledge to ΛΧΑ in 1958, Smoot actually laid down repeatedly on the Harvard Bridge to be used as a measuring instrument with markings made at 10 smt intervals, whereupon the official length of the bridge was found to be 364.4 smoots, +/- 1 ear. These markings have been preserved to this day, and are in fact commonly referenced by the Cambridge Police Dept for the purpose of identifying the location of accidents, road works, and other events upon the bridge.

In the most recent rennovation of the bridge, the city itself even went so far as to score the concrete of the sidewalk at 5'7" intervals (5'7" being the canonical SAE conversion of 1 smt.). Smoots are available as units of measurement within both Google Earth and Google Calc.

The 100 Smoot mark (pre-rennovation):

Note that the plural of "smoot" is not "smeet." This fact will likely be of little relevance to you.

The Couric (Katie Couric)

A unit of measure for fecal matter. One Katie Couric is equal to approximately two and a half pounds of excrement.

Hmmm...Neversink Pit sounds like something I need to put on my list as well. I've wanted to go spelunking for awhile.

In other news, my friend's Supra just broke the 8s mark.

Hmm i heard 3 gears? Nice though handles amazing.
