Quicksand!
Mandy & I were playing RPS-101 (it's Rock, Paper Scissors with 101 different symbols) and we both chose quicksand! According to the site, the odds of that are only 0.99%. Which doesn't sound right to me, should be lower. I just did probability with my 6th graders, I should know this...

Dave Arneson dies at 61.
Dave Arneson was sort of the Steve Wozniak to Gary Gygax's Steve Jobs. While Gygax was the larger than life media figure, Arneson left the company early after coming up with many of the crucial ideas that we hold dear in D&D.

Death to "What Not To Wear"
Not that it matters to my life at all, but an open note to the hosts of TLC's What Not To Wear:
Go fuck yourselves, you self-important, soul destroying harpies!
I channel surfed over to this show, which I've never seen before. There was this weird, goofy, wacky girl on there and I was interested in what they'd do with her makeover wise and still ( Read more... ) -
Che Shirts
I came across this interesting quote about Che Guevara t-shirts, though I can't remember the article it was in.
"These T-shirts send a message, which effectively boils down to this: I have vague left-wing sympathies but don't read history. I am educated enough to want nonconformity but not intelligent enough to avoid conformity. I believe in ( Read more... ) -
