This sounds like the kind of argument my game groups would get into with their GMs:

We tried this on a Friday night and the group that sat through "Barbarella", "Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter", "Cannibal: The Musical" and even the bad-even-for-the-Hoff movie "The Adventures of Stella Star" couldn't get through the Star Wars Christmas Special (even with Riff-Trax!).

Ok, actually, "For MATHEMATICS!!!"

Snoopy and I have been playing online chess. Really, we've been playing a LOT of online chess. Right now I'm on a horrible losing streak (yes, Adnate, he stepped up and the 5 game win record I had is now crushed.)

I was looking at our win-loss records for the games we've played and realized something....we have a Fibonacci Sequence going.

1 win for me
1 win for him
2 wins for me
3 wins for him
5 for me

I need to lose a couple more games for 8 consecutive losses, but then I get to win 13 games in a row! Right? It's for math after all... :D

Ok, I'm sure dbvixxen has seen this already, but for the rest of the world:

Four offices down from mine is one of our finance guys, and on his wall is a large dry erase board that can be seen as you walk down the hall. Usually the board has numbers or acronyms scrawled in a style reminiscent of football playbooks. One week it declaimed that the owner of the office would be out for specified dates.

Today, in juvenile-doodle artwork, there is an epic battle between Martian Manhunter and the Dark Knight (helpfully labeled) with the declaration of "WINNER" over MM's head.

I'm not sure I agree with the outcome of the fight, but it does give me hope that I'm not the only geek around here.

From conversation last night:

P: Hey A! What would you say to serving ice cream in a thong?
A (without missing a beat): Well...I don't know. A thong seems like kind of a strange thing to put ice cream in...

*cue me nearly snorting salad through my nose*

Yes...this _is_ my goal:

When you're 12, getting both Park Place and Boardwalk in a game of Monopoly is justification for your sibling to punch you (twice...in the gut as I recall). When you're in your 50s, it's just another case of abuse.

And all the other Whovians out there...

I'm not usually much for embedding video in my LJ - mostly because I only watch about 10% of the videos that get posted on my f-list since I'm usually at work and don't want to share with my coworkers. However, RoseRed32 posted these and they made me laugh, so I'm passing them on:

First -- on marriage




Second - hockey mom has her say

Sexist Treatment of Sarah Palin Must End

I agree...

I think the various redheads out there will appreciate a license plate frame I saw yesterday:

Redheads are blondes from hell.

For pearl1951, ladyj77 and leiland, my favorite science teachers ever, I bring you: Helpful Textbook Disclaimer Stickers from a professor of evolutionary biology at Swarthmore College.

"This textbook contains a chapter about general relativity, a theory that very few scientists actually understand. And because Einstein was an atheist, it must certainly be incorrect."

For the mathematicians, physicists and other calculus using nerds in my life...

( Calc-zilla! )

For lairian thanks to jeebachu: "I have no idea what you're talking about, so here's a Large Hadron Collider with a pancake on it's head."

Snagged from muzadi.

seaweasel and poeso MUST watch this!

Snoopy sent me this link to "Thirty Facts About Alton Brown" done in the style of the Chuck Norris factoids that circulated a while back. It's hilarious! =D

#6. In the first, as-yet-unaired episode of Iron Chef America, Alton Brown single-handedly defeated an all-star team of Bobby Flay, Cat Cora, and Hiroyuki Sakai. The secret ingredient was 'whimsy'.
