Going to Victoria

Rise and shine everybody! We're going to Victoria today. Never been there, they tell me it's nice.

Crazy Cristmas Lights

I usually don't get too worked up about a christmas front lawn decorations, but this display is way cool!

Do any of you guys know the song they are playing along with that video?

Slashdot | Darwin Evolving Into A Tricky Exhibit

What is happening to the US? Hearing about this kind of thing once might just be a odd concidence ... but this is not the first time. As TripMaster Monkey (862126) * posted under the article here is something semi-recent fomr The Register:

Growing numbers of Americans support the idea of teaching creationism in schools, and in a recent CBS News poll, 51 per cent of respondents said they rejected the idea of evolution

So once we are done with that part of the curriculum we'll cover Exodus 22:18 and it's implications to internatinal politics. I think Harry is gonna be in trouble.

A New Plan

Talking about Timmies and conquering the world found me fingering myself on physics yesterday (hehe). And thus it came to be that I realized my plan was out of order:

Now may I introduce you to my plan for world domination. I shall use the huge amount of money i am making as a grad student to assemble a weapon as menacing as the little spit-ball-throwers people constructed in high school. This weapon must look about as threatening as a Kill-O-Zap bastard ray gun so that I can convince the local military to join my cause. Then I will slowly and surely take over north America starting from the north, possibly skipping the south and moving right along to Latin America where may stop in favor of zipping on a cold drink at the beach.
Before I start though i need some coffee, where is the closest Timmies??!

Since there is a new Timmies on campus I don't know any longer how to counter my plan to conquer the world ... any suggestions?
