So evidently today was the Rapture.  As can be seen at this very professional looking website. The guy has pictures, and videos and graphs.  He even does math to prove that Sept 21st, 2009 is the date that the rapture will occur.  And you just can’t argue with math.

Bonus list.  Because I spent all day doing math homework instead of writing.

Rules of the road now that you’re wife/girlfriend is pregnant:

(Submitted by TheShadowCat)

1. Never argue with a pregnant woman. This will lead to a lot of pain. Emotional for her and possibly physical for you.
2. Never point out bloated body parts or stretch marks on her unless you know how to duck and cover very well.
3. Don’t make comments about weight gain unless you want to have a vasectomy done with a carving knife.
4. If she makes a comment about any of these issues, tell her she’s beautiful. You might want to practice this a few times out loud and in front of a mirror so you can say it with a straight face and with some form of sincerity in your voice.

I think that our current health care system needs improving.  I think that most rational people would agree, whatever their views on any current plans, that there are some major issues that we, as a country, need to address.  Granted we might not all agree on what those specific issues are.

Now most of the people I see posting in the comments section here seem to be fairly bright.  I bet between us we can come up with a whole bunch of workable ideas to fix health care.

It’s important to note, that lack of sleep can sometimes impair your judgment.

I fear that my meager skills as a wordsmith are not up to the challenge of conveying just how awesome this is.

Truly we live in a golden age.

This was sent to me by a longtime reader. The same guy responsible for this mess earlier in the year.

I just got a mild kick out of seeing another culture’s old jokes, and decided to share it.  Also I leave for GenCon in the morning and need to pack still, so this saves me the effort of writing something.

Short analysis of WWII Tactics

Standard task – Attacking a hill defended by an enemy infantry company

Germany, early and mid-war:
An hour before sunrise a battalion of troops has breakfast and prepares to attack. At dawn the hill is softened by dive-bombers and battalion mortars, then infantry moves in, throws grenades, charges into the trenches. By afternoon the Germans have already built their own defensive positions on the hill.

I’m really tired, so this is a filler post about what I did while I was at work today. (I respect you enough to be honest with you). Between calls today I was spending my time at http://obamiconme.pastemagazine.com/ making the following icons. These were from my Nightmare Factory photos, the haunted house Todd and I used to work at. Feel free to discuss.

I had no idea what to post, but I was watching interesting videos earlier today on http://www.ted.com/ and thought I would see if I could find something nerdy enough to present here. Most of the stuff on the site is nerdy to one degree or another, so I had to find the nerdiest thing I could.

How cool is this?

And if that wasn’t nerdy enough, then try this on for size.

Last week, I posted about Shadow Hare, the guy in Cincinnati that thinks he is a superhero, but is actually just a nerd who took comic books way to serious. But I will say his Tobey Maguire/Spiderman nerd voice impression is second to none.

So I was looking for more stuff on him and here is what I found.

I have to wonder how serious he is about what he does when he does interviews like this…

You have to wonder how serious people take him when you see things like this…

And this makes you wonder if anyone takes this seriously at all…

And this video is worth watching just to see Shadow Hare on his Segway…

This guy that wants to be the Shadow Hares’ sidekick.

I don’t know what to make of all this real life super hero stuff, but I have a feeling we are going to see more from Shadow Hare and many others. I look forward to more news and video that will amaze and amuse, and I am sure they will deliver.

Excelsior!

In our team meeting today I learned about a mad man in our company. His reign of terror lasted for several months, then mysteriously he stopped his crime spree for a couple months and now he is back with a vengeance.

Who is this criminal mastermind, of which I speak, and what has he done to strike fear in the hearts of his co-workers?

He is the Mad Crapper of Building 4.

That’s right, someone in building 4 has been going into the mens room and dropping a deuce in the middle of the floor. Not on the floor in a stall, but in the middle of the floor in front of the sinks.

There is a serial shitter amongst us, and management is hot (and steamy) on his trail trying to find this maniac.

I don’t know if it is the call center managers or corporate security that is investigating this heinous crime. Perhaps it is a special anti-poop task force, but they were close to finding him. They had narrowed down the list of suspects by comparing the days and times with the work schedules of all employees. They were closing in, when suddenly he cut the shit.

He laid low for two months, (two… I think it is symbolic), and now he is letting loose again.

One manager was overheard to say that, “when you have 4000 employees, you have to expect that one of them will shit on the floor.”

No, I am not making this up. Yes, I will update when there are more details.
