You know when grown-ups tell you everything's going to be fine, and you think they're probably lying to make you feel better?
Yes.
Everything's going to be fine.

Oh Dear

That is not very nice. Not nice at all.

[Funny though. — Ed]

I Have A Chair

It tilts. It swivels. It has tension adjustment for the tilt thingy. It has gas-operated lift, just like a rocket-hamster fed on beans. It's upholstered with elegant black leather. It has armrests where I can rest my arms. It has little wheels, too, five of them!

And I put it together myself!

Chomskybot!

Furthermore, the systematic use of complex symbols suffices to account for an abstract underlying order. With this clarification, the speaker-hearer's linguistic intuition does not readily tolerate a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. We will bring evidence in favor of the following thesis: relational information is not subject to problems of phonemic and morphological analysis. Thus the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate the traditional practice of grammarians. For one thing, the natural general principle that will subsume this case delimits nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory.

The Chomskybot

If you've ever had to wade through pseudo-scientific babble in any field, you know how accurate that is.

Let us continue to suppose that any associated supporting element raises serious doubts about irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. To provide a constituent structure for T(Z,K), most of the methodological work in modern linguistics is not to be considered in determining the traditional practice of grammarians. However, this assumption is not correct, since the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction suffices to account for an important distinction in language use. It appears that a descriptively adequate grammar can be defined in such a way as to impose nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that this selectionally introduced contextual feature may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate problems of phonemic and morphological analysis.

It's scary!

Sorry, I've Made Other Plans

"I'm afraid we have some bad news. Please, you might want to stay seated."
Mark your calendar or Palm V. You can expect to die on:

July 9, 2040
at the age of 74 years old.

On that date you will most likely die from:

Cancer (38%)
Heart Attack (14%)
Third Degree Burns (7%)
Alcoholism (6%)
Horrible Accident (5%)
Homicide (5%)


Interesting stats from the DeathTest:

	15897189 people have taken the DeathTest.
	Of those, 55% were female and 45% were male.
	The average life expectancy of test takers is 67 years.
	10% of test takers have hairy nipples.
	4% have had team sex.
	8% work in the porn business.
	And 325355 people claim to have leprosy.

Disclaimer: We, despite being proficient with the human anatomy, are not doctors. Keep that in mind before calling your lawyer as you're clutching your left arm moaning "Damn you, Spark, Damn YOU!" on July 9, 2040, as you slip silently into the night.
