Witty Post Title 10/27

Worn-out apologies for not posting last Thursday; it was my birthday, you see, and one of my presents was an excuse. I will be making it up later this evening, but for now, I am at work, and it is beautifully foggy, and my eyes feel like bags of lead stuck to my face. My brain is not in a good state either; I suspect it has something to do with the decision of all machines to revolt against governmental machinations and pretend for as long as they could that it was already time for the Daylight Savings switchover. This morning was a long stretch of black, gray, and groaning. At least we got some fog and some cloud cover.

Later tonight, you will hear about computer piracy, or possibly dragons; but for the moment, it is time for some delicious link salad.

• Search engines savvy actually rewires brains. I offer this as a counter to the people who claim a technology-based evolutionary slow-down.


• Book of Mormon full of grammatical errors. I am not generally one to make fun of others' faiths, except in the same playful way that I am one to make fun of other people; but every time I think of this article I think of the phrase "Bible fanfic"...


• Horrifying Sex Toys from Beyond. This no way work safe; this is work genocide. It's rusty, it's dirty, it's been bled on by an armadillo with AIDS, and the worst part is, when you read it you will be laughing so hard that your co-workers will demand you tell them what's happening. Bonus points to my readers who understand the radio joke.


• Geoff Pullum rants about "mixed cardboard". This is mostly here so I can, in the future, use the term "nerdview".
