Random Thoughts 2/19/10

  • Are you waiting for news on whether your favorite TV show is being renewed or canceled? Check here for a pretty good list of where this year's shows sit. Here's another list for cable channels. Most shows are still up in the air, but some have been renewed already: Stargate Universe, Survivor, Parks and Recreation, and almost everything on cable.
  • University of Kansas scientists had been sitting on the fossils of a giant fish and didn't realize it. Whether you accept the evolutionary paradigm or not, it's funny that it took a visiting scientist from Oxford to identify the bones collecting dust in the basement. Rock Chalk!
  • Curling for nerds, eh? Yup, curling is definitely more exciting with spreadsheets. Keep the hammer, ya hoser!
  • More Wired magazine on sports, especially the Olympics, here.
  • Miss me yet? That's funny, Mr. President.
  • My girls are leaving me for the weekend. Shannon is going to the Women's Retreat at Mission Lake Christian Camp and Anneliese is going to stay with Aunt Sonya while Mom is gone. It'll just be us five boys at home Friday and Saturday.
  • Thanks, Dustin for the $10 iTunes gift card. It's so hard to decide what to get! Music, apps, movies… ok, it'll all be spent on iPhone apps!

Ok, so some "expert" comes in from Oxford and "discovers" (read "makes up") a new kind of fish. The only thing KU scientists are guilty of is not being errogant enough to make up some crap about a "new species". It's all a bunch of bull anyway, and because a guy in a white coat from Oxford says it's true, we have to believe it.

I think it's a Dork Fish.
