“China to ban consumption of dog and cat meat
According to the evening edition...”

Looks like you made it just in time, Mills.
*NB: I did the translation myself, so if there are any weird things in there that’s on me. I threw “gazette” in there as a half-joke, because I don’t know what the official English title of that paper would be. I...
Becoming accustomed
I’ve pretty much reached the point now that I feel less comfortable without having earbuds in my ears than with them in. I guess three straight weeks of having them in there for 8 or so hours a day on average will do that.
“I don’t understand pass interference. It’s my least favorite penalty.”
– Sydvish: Syd’s Saints Game Recap
I don’t think anybody gets pass interference. And it’s probably everybody’s least favorite penalty. Holding is another one that gets me. I swear I see guys with their arms wrapped around the necks of pass rushers and it doesn’t get...

“If Back to the Future were made today (in 2010), Marty would have travelled back...”

Oh s$*^.
This certainly caught me off guard
Alex: Have you ever tried to pick up your head by your nose?
Me: ...No. hahahahahahahaha

“Baboons are very sensitive to who stands where in their society’s hierarchy. If played a recording of a superior baboon threatening an inferior, and the latter screaming in terror, baboons will pay no attention — this is business as usual in baboon affairs. But when researchers concoct a recording in which an inferior’s threat grunt precedes a superior’s scream, baboons will look in...
So I never thought this would happen →
That’s me having a conversation with a Japanese guy about football. And he knows a lot. He even brought up Joe Montana being injured in the 1990 NFC Championship Game, which I had either forgotten about or never saw happen (the description of the game portrays it has having been an incredible contest, but I don’t remember having seen it). Of course, he was a Montana fan.
It’s...

This is for Mills. I’m pretty sure he’ll enjoy it.
Some people may be wondering why I keep posting things for him (but probably not; not that many people follow me… or just no one’s been paying that much attention), and the answer is simple: if it weren’t for him, I’d still be writing out HTML code for links, italics, and bold-face text.

mills:
Contentious debates spring as often from predictive ideas as from unshared assumptions, and while the latter might remain perpetually unresolved, the former cannot: eventually, what is predictive will be substantiated or falsified.
To illustrate, imagine the status of an presently controversial political dispute in the next century. One can use any number of examples, from the...
USC's Carroll sought by Seahawks →
That in itself could be pretty big news, but here’s what I found most intriguing:
“But the possibility also exists that Walker would be a strong candidate to replace Carroll at USC. Trojans athletic director Mike Garrett is known to think very highly of Walker, and his candidacy would be given a boost by the fact he’s a very strong recruiter and would represent the first...
RE: When they were rock stars
In regards to this exchange between Lacey and Syd, I’d like to say that I have a picture of Wes on stage from the New Year’s Eve gig, but I’ve been hesitant to post it out of respect for his privacy. That said, I actually copied it off of some girl’s Facebook page.
I got an iPod Touch
…which, of course, obviously means that now I can join the WWF party. This should make Syd happy.
