LOL. Reminds me of the discussion many husbands and wives had after the movie Indecent Proposal came out.

I remember many guys saying that they'd sleep with someone once for a million dollars. Wrong question, would you let your spouse sleep with someone for a million dollars?

Hell yeah

LOL

That's current spouse, not ex-spouse or planned soon-to-be ex-spouse.

Yeah, I read that, too. Plenty of straight women adore them some gay men, but yeah, like Brook said.

anybody looking forward to Amir Khan versus Zab Judah this saturday in Vegas?

Brooklyn, Bugeater (heh)?

The smack leading up to this sounds awesome

Funny enough, I have contractors in the crib ripping the place apart and have no TV nor internet. Wife and kids have been out of state with the Mother in Law for the past two weeks (I'm there now). So, I've been out the loop on all news. I need to catch up on it. The dudes should be done by this Tuesday. Maybe I'll see if I can catch a read on the fight (and the build up) while I'm here at the old battle axe's crib.

I hope the old battle axe isn't looking over your shoulder as you're typing that.

Her eyesight is not good enough. The real danger would be my wife looking over my shoulder. Her eyesight is decent (when her contacts are in), but her "open palm to the back of the head" move is quick and effective.

I live in Burning Man central. For a lot of people around here, it's the alpha and omega, the be-all and end-all. Well. Today on facebook a gal I know, a dedicated Burner if ever there was one, posted a picture of a menu item at a local juice chain, the "Burning Man Smoothie". Naturally, this provoked a mini-barrage of irateness. "Sue!" being the gist of it.

Now, I've never been to Burning Man. I don't like crowds. I don't sleep very well with wind flapping my tent around, and I'm not about to add the cost of an RV on top of my $300 dollar Burning Man ticket. It might be the greatest thing ever, but then again I lived in San Francisco for over ten years and I've seen plenty of inspired art, bad art, wacky fashion, sex, techno, fixed gear bikes, chicks in cowboy hats, bandannas, glitter makeup, and lingerie, and so forth. But don't people realize that, just like the Grateful Dead Enterprises, Black Rock LLC (ie, Burning Man) is basically a big business, and fully capable of taking care of itself? Shoot, they have a knack for getting volunteers to work for them, so I'm sure there are some lawyers willing to work pro-bono on the juice joint. If they have a case. Which I kind of doubt. Stupid hippies.

OK, so I don't want to pooh-pooh anybody's sense of grief when they lose a loved one.

But I still think those tombstones-on-wheels vehicles with "In Memory of..." bumper stickers on the back are just weird.

Bumpers? Hell in some parts of Ohio (Newark) they decorate their rear windows.

Yeah usually it is the rear window. Of a car that is destined, sooner or later, for the scrapheap.

Whatever happened to granite?

Physicist Geoffrey West has found that simple, mathematical laws govern the properties of cities -- that wealth, crime rate, walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number: the city's population. In this mind-bending talk from TEDGlobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations.

The premise of the series is that psychologist Hari Seldon spent his life developing a branch of mathematics known as psychohistory, a concept of mathematical sociology (analogous to mathematical physics). Using the laws of mass action, it can predict the future, but only on a large scale; it is error-prone on a small scale. It works on the principle that the behaviour of a mass of people is predictable if the quantity of this mass is very large (equal to the population of the galaxy, which has a population of quadrillions of humans, inhabiting millions of star systems). The larger the number, the more predictable is the future.

Except that a mutation put into the system can change every prediction.
