hee. So I am bored at work and decide to idly google my summer intern. Look for any silly myspace pages or whatever. Turns out she's the sex columnist for her university paper. Hee. (what? so I'm 12). Any random things you feel like sharing?

Also, I confirmed my nerd status by beginning a story: "I first worked out parafilm was awesome when..." (anyone who has worked in a lab better identify!)

Bill Clinton started by innocently googling Monica. . .it's a slippery slope Gaspode. Beware.

I stayed up until 1 am playing Scrabble and drinking and now I feel like shit. I won, though, so that's some consolation.

Also, I learned that the speed of light is 195,803,972,568 nautical miles per fortnight.

Is a fortnight ten days or two weeks? I'm randomly sharing my ingornace so someone else may randomly share their wisdom.

Two weeks.

I worked in a lab, as a dishwasher/mascot, during summers home from college! Parafilm is AWESOME. It's quite bendy, too.

Light travels at just under a foot per nanosecond. Therefore my favorite Canadian folk singer is Gordon Nanosecond. THAT's geeky.

Parafilm is OK. I much prefer ECL reagent into bleach-water. Dry ice is pretty good too.

posted by LunaticFringe 28 July | 12:13

But you can do so much with parafilm! And with the bendiness! Although yes I do like ECL reagent. and of course, everyone's favorite: liquid nitrogen.

posted by gaspode 28 July | 12:15

Liquid nitrogen is the best. Who doesn't love shattering a banana? I recently found an article explaining how to make ice cream using LiN2 as the cooling agent. The article said to just dump it slowly into the mix while stirring. I kinda want to try it now....

I've said this here before, but several years ago I googled the couple's therapist that my ex and I had (unsuccessfully) gone to. Found pictures of her onstage with her old punk band -- topless.

First off, she's not someone I would have chosen to see topless. Second, ewwwwwww.

oh that's so wrong, pup. Here's another random bit of info: I just (30 min ago) got a paper accepted for publication! Yay!

Congrats, gaspode!

Random: if I was born 20 years later than I was, I could easily be the kid in the red shirt. [video w/music]

I watched Real Genius last night, and I don't think Val Kilmer was ever better. It's one of the finest films of the 80's.

Oh god do I love parafilm. I want a dispenser in my house. You know, for stuff.

posted by Eideteker 28 July | 15:41

Hugh, I agree, "Kent, this is God and I know what you do when you're alone. Stop it!" Hahaha. Though it would have been better with Screech as Mitch.

My random thingie: I have Breakfast at Tiffany's on DVD. It is among my favorite movies of all-time.

Way to go on the paper, gaspode!

I learnt today that my dog has ass-hackles. Like, the lower back area where every new pop-tart and sorority girl gets tattoos. I was kind of pleased.
