Randandom vs. MechaGodzilla

No theme today folks, just some random bits and pieces.

An interesting piece on blogs. Can't remember where I got this link.

This explains a lot.

Jealousy and famous literary couples.

Five questions from Cheddar X...

1. What's your worst alcohol related experience?
Worst in what way? Producing overwhelming intoxication? That would be doing ten shots of tequila in 25 minutes as a sophmore in college. Worst as in acting like an idiot? Deciding I was a 'druid' for the evening, that same year. Life of the party I tell ya...
2. What's the absolute dumbest thing you've done?
Gott in Himmel, so many to choose from... how about seriously procrastinating on writing my thesis as a senior, sparking a long an ugly chain of events involving a 72 hour 'all (three) nighter', a bottle of whiskey and pre-dawn escape from the hospital. Yup, good times, good times..
3. What is your biggest crossroad in life? That is, what choice, action, non-action most brought you to where you are instead of where you might have been?
Returning to Baltimore post-graduation. Might also qualify as the 'absolute dumbest.' I mean, why pass up a chance to live hand-to-mouth and smash up a relationship while you're at it. Sound decision making is my middle name. But we strive to improve; as a wise man once said: "I'm a work in progress."
4. Who are your favorite bloggers and why?
Favorites are listed to the left. Each as a distinctive style that I enjoy.
5. What's your best example of ironic justice?
I suppose that end of Geoghan counts - classic example of a predator becoming the prey.
6. Which is more futile, the war on drugs or the war on terrorism?
The war on drugs. We already had one. It was called Prohibition and we lost. We did, however, get the birth of the modern Mafia from it, and thus cool movies like The Godfather. So who knows what unexpected benefits will accrue from the war on drugs? Hell, we've already seen a 'very special' of Different Strokes with Nancy Reagan - does it get any better?

Don't answer that.
7. How many copies of the Sobig worm have you had to delete this week? (round off to the nearest hundred thousand if you like)
Nary a one. Does this mean my computer is going to explode?
