    Left lane = accident ahead. BSOD scattered all over information highway. Privacy compromised.

    Internet Explorer. The most used browser for downloading another browser.

    I think that should say “My Commuter”.

In eclipse, I click the “Debug” button but my program still has bugs. Anyone else seen this?

    I tried compiling my game with Xcode, but it didn’t produce any Xgames.

    And after ten years, I gave up looking for pictures of naked women in OS X

    That’s odd. When I click “Debug” in CS5 it blows up.

Kyrgyz Legislators Sacrifice Sheep To Rid Parliament of Evil Spirits

In Kyrgyzstan, legislators have sacrificed seven sheep to drive out evil spirits out of the parliament chamber.

The meat will be given to the elderly and the disabled, according to Parliament press officer Shairbek Mamatoktorov. The evidence of the evil spirits included disagreements between the two parties that came to an actual brawl recently on the floor. Sounds familiar.

    Such a story would be unthinkable in the USA.

    The plan to give the meat of the sacrificed sheep to the elderly and the disabled would immediately trigger trouble: “Socialism!!! We should rather cut taxes, and give the meat to the buffet of a charity gala!”

    Have you recommended sheep sacrifice to Gov. Perry?

Gov. Perry Issues Proclamation for Days of Prayer for Rain in Texas

Posted on April 22nd, 2011 at 7:54 by John Sinteur in category: Pastafarian News

WHEREAS, the state of Texas is in the midst of an exceptional drought, with some parts of the state receiving no significant rainfall for almost three months, matching rainfall deficit records dating back to the 1930s; and

[..]

NOW, THEREFORE, I, RICK PERRY, Governor of Texas, under the authority vested in me by the Constitution and Statutes of the State of Texas, do hereby proclaim the three-day period from Friday, April 22, 2011, to Sunday, April 24, 2011, as Days of Prayer for Rain in the State of Texas. I urge Texans of all faiths and traditions to offer prayers on that day for the healing of our land, the rebuilding of our communities and the restoration of our normal way of life.

I’m torn between several possible ways to react.

1) /facepalm

2) let’s pray to $random_deity for drought, and decide once and for all who’s the more powerful one

3) If it takes three days of prayer for someone to be “divinely inspired” that our climate is really changing, and they can do something about it, then it was time well spent.

    Prayer: The art of doing nothing, and still think you are helping.

    I seriously didn’t believe this at first, thinking that it Must be the onion, so imagine my suprise…

    If he really believed this BS anyway, who does he think caused the drought? Or did it just escape his attention and he forgot to make it rain?

  4. Steffen on April 22nd, 2011 at 13:09:

    Of course, Rick Perry doesn’t believe this BS. I think it is rather a quite comfortable excuse to cut firefighting measures. When half of the country burns down, he can then safely tell “We did our best. We prayed as hard as possible, but we must now humbly accept god’s mysterious will.”

    A timeless quote attributed to Seneca: “Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.”

    It’s raining pretty hard right now in Pennsylvania. God must have really bad aim.
