What is that?
It's a duck pond.
Why aren't there any ducks?
I don't know. There's never any ducks.
Then how do you know it's a duck pond?

The Kids Are Alright

I'm on the train to work (it's my day off, but computers are no respecter of holidays), and there are two teenage girls across the aisle chattering away as teenage girls are wont to do - about the Mars Rovers, and life on other planets, and President Bush's Mars initiative, and Fred Hoyle's panspermia theory (though I don't think they took the latter seriously).

360 Nits

It's a noisy little bugger.

And it's region-locked. Retards. It's hard to even find a region-locked DVD player in Australia, except for the Playstation and the Xbox. And now, of course, the 360.

Graphics are pretty darn good; games are pretty bad so far. I should probably have got Kameo instead of Oblivion.

It really is noisy, isn't it? I said, it really is... Never mind.

January?!

Can't you NASA guys get anything right?
The mission is set to launch in October 2008, with a rocket that carries both the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter and impactor. The orbiter will circle the moon for at least a year, mapping the surface, searching for water and scouting for potential future landing sites to send astronauts. The orbiter will pay particular attention to the south pole, which NASA considers a prime candidate for a future outpost.

The lunar spacecraft will target the south pole too, releasing its SUV-sized impactor probe in January 2009 on a suicide plunge at about 5,600 miles per hour toward a frozen crater believed to contain hidden ice.

No no no! If you're going to blow up the Moon, you have to do it on the 4th of July!

Bum!

V = (S+C) x (B+F)/T:
"Slender thighs and a hip-to-waist ratio of 0.7 will frame the perfect bum, well perfectly."
I really hope they have that backwards. And traditionally, the ratio is 3:2:3.

(Actually, the formula as presented makes no sense:

S is the overall shape or droopiness of the bottom, C represents how spherical the buttocks are, B measures muscular wobble or bounce, while F records the firmness.

V is the hip to waist ratio, or symmetry of the bottom, and T measures the skin texture and presence of cellulite.

Which states that hip-to-waist ratio is a function of cellulite. Eh?)

Fast? I'll Show You Fast!

333.25 mph? Sure, that's fast - for a boat.
