Halloween

feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 19:31:49 GMT

Since we live in a house now, this is our first ever time giving out Halloween candy. I thought there'd be a lot of trick or treaters, since there are so many decorated houses, and we just now ran out of candy, a little less than 75% of the way into the scheduled trick or treating time.

At first I was letting the kids pick their own candy out of our bowl, but they seemed confused (and sometimes needed both hands to hold open their bag) so I started giving out random candy....

I think the Subway buffalo chicken sandwich is pretty good.

If a rooster lays an egg on a roof...

feeds@yuku.com (Crawl and 1OOO) — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 09:29:19 GMT

...which side of the roof does the egg roll down?

Answer: Neither, roosters do not lay eggs.

Real answer: That previous answer is false. The question says, "IF a rooster lays an egg." The question assumes that, somehow, a rooster has laid an egg. Maybe the rooster is a hermaphrodite. Maybe it's a hen named "Rooster". Maybe the rooster is in a medical experiment like a chicken version of

The St. Petersburg Paradox

The St. Petersburg Paradox

The idea is that there is a lottery where someone flips a coin. If it comes up heads, you lose. If it comes up tails, you win a dollar and keep going. Every time it comes up tails, your winnings double (2 dollars, 4, 8, 16...), until you hit heads and it stops.

How much would you be willing to pay to play a lottery like that?

Can you be isolated from yet a member of society?

Inspired by:

The lesson I learned in 1985, when I was first tasting the freedom of adulthood and emerging from the safety of home and hearth, is that it's possible to achieve a state of personal isolation while remaining a member of society.

Unfortunately, although the topic seems interesting to me, maybe the kick-off isn't. If you...

3D TV's

Keep reading articles about how these are the next big thing in TV, as big as the jump from standard def to high def.

My first thought is "Hey, maybe now I'll finally able to afford an HDTV. I can just always stay one improvement behind."

Shame on you Ryan Clements, this is embarassing even by IGN standards.

Mr. Clements is going to Japan to cover some big FF13 event. The following are the worst bits I could find, but the whole thing is a train wreck.

Here's the second catch: it's all in Japanese. Now, I love Japan and I love the Japanese language -- but I...

Why did Kefka destroy Mobliz?

That town had nothing of importance going for it. It also makes for a bad example to use to scare the other towns because it's in the middle of a monster infested nowheresville.

Maybe he just hates pigeons THAT much. Or it could be the dried meat they sell, but that's also pigeon, so same difference.

And of course the whole train accident didn't do it any favors, either.

Things I learned today

I might keep this topic going..

Even though I've used "Torr" as a unit of measuring pressure for several years, I only now learned that it is named after Torricelli, who not only invented the barometer, but who also discovered that the surface of revolution of y=1/x, from x=1 to infinity, has finite volume but infinite surface area (a fact which I still find kind of mind blowing).

I'll have to make a site section for these eventually. There's probably another topic with these, but the images probably don't work, anymore.
