Fire

Little known fact: The fire that destroyed the Library of Alexandria was caused by an ancient ancestor of the cow that caused the Chicago fire. Bad line of cows.



It's all part of the Cow Conspiracy.

Amazing Bionic Bird

SmartBird is an ultralight but powerful flight model with excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility. With SmartBird, Festo has succeeded in deciphering the flight of birds - one of the oldest dreams of humankind.

This bionic technology-bearer, which is inspired by the herring gull, can start, fly and land autonomously -- with no additional drive mechanism. Its wings not only beat up and down, but also twist at specific angles. This is made possible by an active articulated torsional drive unit, which in combination with a complex control system attains an unprecedented level of efficiency in flight operation. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating an energy-efficient technical adaptation of this model from nature.

Hard To Laugh

But you've got to laugh to prevent yourself from crying.

Earth Hour

While I was celebrating "Earth Hour" by having all of my lights on, I asked my cat Stanley to name one other animal that could turn night into day.

He just looked at me.

Then I pressed my luck and asked him to name one other animal that could store food for months at a time.

He meowed which I took to mean Squirrels.

Touché Stanley.

Great

Just great.

All day I've been wiping white gunk from my left eye (the good one).
The eye started getting sore shortly before I left work.
On the drive home my vision milked up twice.
Now it's all red, itchy and puffy.

What is it with this place and my eyes ? I never had this many problems before.

I put a few drops of Vigamox followed by a couple drops of Ofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution in the eye. It's now tearing which is helping to keep the eye somewhat clear. Still hard to see though.

Hopefully it won't get worse.

I Had A Dream

I had a dream last night that someone was getting in my face and shoving me in the chest. I shoved him back.
I woke realizing I had just shoved my cat off the bed.
He gave me this look like, “What the heck was that for?!?”

Time Travel

If I could go back in time and change only one thing... it would be going back in time and only being able to change ONE thing.

Happy Pi Day !
