Whale: Did you know that the average fish today contains more mercury than a rectal thermometer

Fish: well yeah, I think I read that someplace...

Whale: Would you EAT a rectal thermometer? ...Answer me damn you!

Fish: Uh.. no.

Whale: Well I would... *gulp*

Whale:  Ahh... mercury. The sweetest of the transition metals.

This was an interesting article... if not completely unrealistic: 

There is now a way to extend the lifespan of organisms so that humans could conceivably live to be 800 years old. In an amazing development, scientists at the University of Southern California have announced that they've extended the lifespan of yeast bacteria tenfold -- and the recipe they used to do it might easily translate into humans.

* Note the very amusing comment by ANDYDUNCAN:

-- "I think the biggest issue would be having a bunch of 400-year-olds who have gone bat-shit crazy from all the shit they've seen over their three lifetimes, but who have amassed enough money to keep screwing stuff up for the rest of the population by voting republican.
Personally, I look forward to imposing my 21st century bigotry, worldview and outdated ideals on the children of the 28th century. Those lazy little shits."

Not a bad test for once... I found the results amusing.

Note the exact polar opposites of me and my boyfriend... O.o

He was of course quick to point out that I have the same personality as Ariel, from the Little Mermaid, while he has the same personality as Darth Vader. :p






It's not too bad though. Maybe we'll even each out eachother's psychoses... Yin and Yang sort of thing.

Okay, this is the weirdest website ever...

I stumbled across it today because I was trying to figure out how to spell subservient, and google was the resource that required the least amount of effort.

Is it just me? Or does anyone else find it rather creepy?

You can type in all sorts of things:
- Sit
- Play Dead
- Hop on one foot
...god knows what else. o.o


P.S. In other news... apparently "google" isn't in LiveJournal's dictionary during the spell check.

Hey.. I just realized I dont have anyone on my Xbox 360 friends list. That makes me a sad panda... err lion. Whatever.

Let me know if you have one, and if you'd like to add me, my gamertag is Maihes.

That is all.

Everyone should get an account here:

http://twitter.com

And add me: http://twitter.com/Kanu


The purpose is to add random short 'What I'm doing' updates throughout the day. It's pretty neat, like a lazy man's LiveJournal.

It's really easy. There's 4 ways you can update your twitter:
- via the web
- By sending a message to TwitterIM on AIM.
- with a desktop widget (mac or pc)
- send a text message via cell phone (free.. side from your normal text charges)

I just think it's kinda neat.. to be able to update via text message during a roadtrip or bored in a long meeting at work.


Using LittleWolf's example:

LittleWolf: oh so it's like...
LittleWolf: I'm getting blown right now
LittleWolf: (20 seconds ago)
LittleWolf: moan (5 seconds ago)
LittleWolf: I blew my load (2 seconds ago)

You can even use it to talk about your amazing boyfriend, thus:
