I could repost the whole thing here, but its easier if I refer you to CRT’s blog to read So long, and thanks for all the fish.

The other day we went to one of those temporary Halloween stores that spring up to get the kids their costumes. I could go into buying vs. making your own and our lack of time, but that’s not really the point.
If you look at this image closely, you’ll see the size for this costume is for 8 to 10 year olds. And maybe I’m just become a grumpy old man, but should an 8 to 10 year old really be dressing as a pimp? Don’t get me wrong, my pimp hand is strong, but I am not 8 to 10 years old.
Bow before your king!
Yet another silly test of the day. Found this one thanks to spellwight.
I’m just trying to be heart healthy
I always knew I was taking care of business for the right reasons. Thanks to the scientists behind Stinky farts may help regulate blood pressure for confirming it.
A smelly rotten-egg gas in farts controls blood pressure in mice, a new study finds.
The unpleasant aroma of the gas, called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), can be a little too familiar, as it is expelled by bacteria living in the human colon and eventually makes its way, well, out.
The new research found that cells lining mice’s blood vessels naturally make the gas and this action can help keep the rodents’ blood pressure low by relaxing the blood vessels to prevent hypertension (high blood pressure). This gas is “no doubt†produced in cells lining human blood vessels too, the researchers said.
Guess I know what I’m doing in two weeks…

Physics of the Impossible: A Scientific Exploration of the World of Phasers, Force Fields, Teleportation, and Time Travel by Michio Kaku
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I became interested in the book after hearing an interview with the author on Slice of SciFi. Its an easy read and goes into just enough depth on the physics you need to know to discuss why certain science fiction stables are possible and why others are impossible.
Fun and educational read.
Playing for Keeps by Mur Lafferty
My review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
I started with the Podcast but ended with the paper edition that was just printed. A fun read playing with the superhero genre. The creativity of the “useless” powers and their use in the story by the author made this an enjoyable read.
She’s gone. She gave me a pen. I gave her my heart, she gave me a pen.
Evo Terra tweeted the following:
“If you haven’t been bookmarked, retweeted and blogged, you might as well not have existed.” – Will be part of the next Found Things.
Which, for some reason inspired me to parody Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything:
I don’t want to blog anything, tweet anything, or podcast anything as a career. I don’t want to blog anything tweeted or podcasted, or tweet anything blogged or podcasted, or podcast anything blogged, tweeted, or podcasted, or retweet anything blogged, tweeted, or podcasted. You know, as a career, I don’t want to do that.
[Update: Evo explains the origin of his comment.]
When geeks grown up and have families.
I saw this driving home the other day.

The Trib today had a point to the website HowManyOfMe.com. As far as internet diversions go, this was a good one.

Dinah’s the clear winner here. However, I was suprised to learn that there are 10,677 people in the U.S. with the first name Dinah. The last name is what makes her stand out.

I was really shocked that Evan clocked in so low.
