Stopped at a red light, I was given the once-over by the new Happy Meal. So very creepy.

Maybe the six most intensely context-providing words on Wikipedia: “Not to be confused with Lordi.”

It’s not the case that Government can’t do anything right; It’s very much the case that government contractors like CGI Federal can’t do anything right.

Dear Android Keyboard,
  I am not a Christian.  I guarantee you that the word “christ” exists in my vocabulary, and your insistence on capitalizing it no matter what the context is increasingly annoying.

Stop it.

Uh huh.

Dear Android keyboard,
I have never, in my recollection, used the single letter “u” in a sentence. Why then have you started choosing this letter instead of “I” in any sentence where either that or “you” would fit grammatically?

Stop it.

Thanks to Jennifer Jurney and Clay Caviness I just lost the game.

“Think about the (admittedly kind of mythologized) history of Science. The scholastics saying that matter was this, or that, and justifying themselves by long treatises about how based on A, B, C, the word of the Bible, Aristotle, self-evident first principles, and the Great Chain of Being all clearly proved their point. Then other scholastics would write different long treatises on how D, E, and F, Plato, St. Augustine, and the proper ordering of angels all indicated that clearly matter was something different. Both groups were pretty sure that the other had make a subtle error of reasoning somewhere, and both groups were perfectly happy to spend centuries debating exactly which one of them it was.

And then Galileo said “Wait a second, instead of debating exactly how objects fall, let’s just drop objects off of something really tall and see what happens”, and after that, Science.”

The Control Group Is Out Of Control

I love a good metaphor fugue. This one is almost Mickensian.
