Women’s attractiveness judged by software by ZDNet's Roland Piquepaille -- According to Haaretz, an Israeli team of computer scientists has developed a software that ranks facial attractiveness of women. Instead of identifying basic facial characteristics, this software has been designed to make aesthetic judgments -- after training. The lead researcher said this program 'constitutes a substantial advance in the development of artificial intelligence.' It is interesting to note that the researchers focused on women only. Apparently, men' faces are more difficult to grade. But read more...

Do, a deer, a female deer
I sure hope you all had a nice Zombie Jesus Day, aka Easter.
Today when I was leaving work, there were two deer in the grass near my car. I was downwind, so I watched them for about 5 minutes. They were spooked, though, and never took their eyes off me. Finally they flashed their white flags at me and took off.

Dream
As all dreams are, this one was a bit disjointed. It was strange that I actually remembered it, I usually don't remember my dreams.
I was staying in a duplex down the street from my house, one that I've never seen before, but similar to the one I lived in when Sam first moved in with me. (Even now I think I should recognise it, I know I've seen it, and I can't remember whose it was.) I knew it wasn't my house, I was renting it for some reason. My mom was there, hanging out with me for a couple of weeks. I was sick, and not leaving the house. I don't remember what we talked about or did, I just remember lying on the bed and her being in the same room. After a couple of weeks she left. I was still sick. J came over to check on me. I was trying to tell her about my mom being there when I noticed my boss's white Hummer pulling up. I wasn't sure how either of them found me. I'm pretty sure I rented the duplex so I couldn't be found while I was sick. I suppose I should have moved farther than down the street, though. Boss said they were just worried about me, since they hadn't heard from me. Then he felt my head & said, "Yep, it's moved from your chest to your head." I felt that was true, and the resulting fever is what caused me to spend so much time with mom.
Around then is when I woke up. Earlier that night I had really bad heartburn. Almost the worst I've ever had. In the distant past, I've had "fever dreams" that involved collecting a million pennies to save my mom's life. Interesting that she popped up in this (apparently) illness-influenced dream.
There's a lot of things that have become obvious to me as a result of this dream. I'm not sure if I'm ready to put them up for public consumption at this time. Maybe.

Woman Sat on Toilet for 2 Years
It appeared the 35-year-old Ness City woman's skin had grown around the seat...
"It just kind of happened one day. She went in and had been in there a little while, the next time it was a little longer. Then she got it in her head she was going to stay — like it was a safe place for her," McFarren said.
WTF! I thought *I* knew some crazy bitches!!!

"Dad, does our stove and oven work?"
Gee, what a way to make me feel inferior. Yeah, ok. I tend more towards microwave & fast food. I never could cook. Ramona is fond of telling the story of the time I messed up *cold cereal*. Believe it.
So anyway, after confirming the operational status of our cooking appliances, Ramona asked if it was ok if she cooked. The next time I saw her she was making up a shopping list.
At the grocery store, she takes charge. We need this and this and where are the noodles??? At one point she informed me I wasn't good for anything. Oh, really? Why don't you say that when we get to the cashier. Oops :)
Last night she cooked dinner for me for the first time. Tortellini (sp?) alfredo and french bread. Oh yeah, somewhere she found garlic salt. A *lot* of garlic salt.
I'm not a huge fan of pasta, but it was definitely edible. More so than my cooking, which tends to cold cereal (I don't always mess it up), sandwiches, and poptarts.
Of course, that means I'm responsible for cleaning the kitchen :(

New holiday for men
Men-Every 14th of Feb you get the chance to display your fondness for your wife or girlfriend by showering her with gifts, flowers, dinner, shows and any other baubles that women find romantic. Every Valentine's Day you rack your brains for that one special, unique gift that will show your OL that you really love them more than anything.
Now ladies, I'll let you in on a little secret. Guys really don't enjoy this that much. Sure seeing that smile on your face when we get it right is priceless, but that smile is the result of weeks of blood, sweat and consideration. Another secret--guys feel left out. Thats right, left out. There's no special holiday for the ladies to show their appreciation for the men in their life. Men as a whole are either too proud or just too embarrassed to admit it. Which is why a new holiday has been created.
March 20 is now officially "Steak and Blowjob Day." Simple, effective, and self-explanatory. This holiday has been created so you ladies finally have a day to show your man just how much you love him. No cards, no flowers, no special nights on the town. The name of the holiday says it all. Just a steak and a blowjob. That's it. Finally, this twin pair of Valentine's Day and Steak and Blowjob Day will usher in a new age of love as men everywhere will try THAT much harder in Feb to ensure a more memorable March! Its like a perpetual love machine.
The word is already beginning to spread, but as with any new idea, it needs a little push to start the ball rolling. So spread the word and help bring love and peace to this crazy world.

Hmmm, I probably shouldn't have stumbled onto this page
Homemade hydrogen. AKA How to get hurt!
We did this in high school, on a Friday. Of course, instead of a battery we used a battery charger, with a slick little setup. After the experiment, Col. Sanders (I don't remember the teacher's real name. He looked like Col. Sanders, though) asked if anyone wanted to get charged up for the weekend, and held up the clips from the charger. I, being a dumbass, volunteered. I held a clip in each hand & he flipped it on. I couldn't tell you how long he left it on, I was being electrocuted :) It certainly dazed me, and random people kept coming up to me in the hall to comment that my hair was more frizzy than normal.
Bzzzztt!
