I just wrote, and subsequently lost, a spiel concerning probability algorithms and Bell's theorem and this idea of space as an undivided whole as it relates to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and other such spooky stuff that baffles the hell out of me. That's what happens when one has a crappy computer and an even crappier dial-up connection

Wait, I thought that had nothing to do with the Coriolis effect?

[minnesattva]

It doesn't. Also, it doesn't exist. You can push the water to go down one way and you can push it to go down the other.

I want to know why mosquitoes exist.

[scabbypants]

Easy, to spoil people's barbecues and summer vacations!

[pirate_eggie]

What cruel genius hath wrought this?!

[aphiddavid]

Hint: The Jenius who invented mosquitoes was... Jesus. He did it to save us from your sins.

I just got a false limb in the mail from my friend who works in an orthopedics lab. He claims it belongs to a mass murdering Mexican bandit. Baffling.

I think I will plant a cactus in the stump hole.

[scabbypants]

Know what would be cool? Planting the cactus in a false pelvis!

It might be easier to say what I don't find baffling. The list is far shorter.

[scabbypants]

I don't find pigeons or pancakes or spiral bound notebooks particularly baffling. How they've managed to make tasteless bread, however, makes me lose sleep at night. Not only that but what about the fucking endpieces? Who eats that? For the first time last week I threw away the endpiece as soon as I opened the bag instead of waiting until I finish all the passable slices like I normally do. As if I'll change my mind and eat the endpiece! I'm living life on the edge.

I CAN ANSWER THIS ONE!

Sure some folks eat the end pieces (or heels, if you will) but they're best kept for maintaining freshness of the loaf. If you don't eat your bread particularly quickly, you'll find the outermost slice becoming a de facto heel.

[scabbypants]

I dunno, I didn't notice that phenomenon when I tossed the heel immediately. I maybe have a sandwich every coupla days or so, so it's not like I plow through the bread, either.

Who are these people who actually eat it? Suppose you came round for coffee or something and I made us some toast, and served you the fucking endpiece? That's practically a criminal offense!
