damn... beat me bunny... nearly there, though

I cheated ( I guessed), my brain is on low fuel :)

lol

ditto

ood to see you by the way, I haven't been babbling as much. I better get though, my nephew will be here any minute.

thanks you too, and I haven't been to the grid in quite a while

done!

Take care.

later

that was never a medium....I didn't need to use any greens!

Just upgraded to Pro!

Congrats! Enjoy..the ability to use greens!

Congrats, Hornbeck.

You didn't put much in your profile.

I am lazy, I will update soon :-)

nice pic!

profile updated

need to move to Firefox

ooh i'm getting close to finishing the archives, i guess that means i should get an icon

Yes, please find a nice icon, PG.

here's a temporary one for now

Strange.

Going green.

Damn it. My son erased my green getter.

I should really be working right now. :-)

Join the club.

i get to be treasurer

I think I see a jellyfish, but I don't remember how to use it.

is that different than a swordfish?

Beats me.

I was lazy and put the greens in, and the one pair in the right-middle made everything else fall out.

Done. A sudden breakout started by a pair at left.

Finally finished. I am off to wokr

s/wokr/work

hornbeck, missing trailing delimiter, cannot process...

done done done

Not too tough. Done without greens.

medium easy or medium hard??? kind of like is it bluish green or greenish blue?

medium easy!!!! *poof*

Sounds like this one should be easier than a medium, from what people are saying. Let's see. :D

Arg, goofed something - I guess I should be a little slower. :D

I agree with the majority. Pretty easy for a medium. Can be done without greenies.

I'm trying to avoid greens, but it's making it a bit slow going. :D

Just keep staring at it. Eventually it will open up for you.

Isn't that what happened to that guy in the movie Alien?

Hmmm, I hadn't thought of it quite like that.... ; )

Yeah, just wait for dinner tonight

you'd think after all these years of teaching torts, he'd get the schedule down.

Oh well, I'm not complaining.

Yeah, for me, this is the difference between being "caught up" and being "way behind."

I thought you were going to be all responsible and stuff Gr8-H8.

I had really good intentions in that regard, but as Lansing said, "The best laid plans of mice and men. . . . . "

haha true

Sudoku is more fun anyway.

Wow,"adjudging" is a real word.

I'm also keeping track of my Wikipedia watchlist.

I thought he made it up.

Nice. Watcha looking up?

Jerry Garcia. That article gets an unbelievable amount of vandalism.

Have you ever heard of Conservapedia?

No, let me check. .

Source of endless entertainment/disappointment with the human race.

I feel bad that I bent to greens, but it's opened up the whole puzzle just about.

I used greens on this one too, don't feel bad.

Conservapedia is my new favorite thing!

hi guys

Hi!

It is soooo awesome in a really, really scary way.

Hi Andy!

You should check out the entry on gravity.

What is it? I'm too focused on the puzzle to go check it out (Coservapedia)

It's a conservative version of wikipedia that's filled with hilarity - mostly horribly inaccurate histories and pseudoscience.

wikipedia written by fundies

Oh wow... how scary... I have GOT to read the entry on Richard Dawkins

Wow I never thought of looking him up. I bet it's full of awesomeness!

lol, if you post profanity or vandalise it they will report your IP address to the authorities, including your local prosecutor and your employer... can you imagine as a boss getting an email with an employees IP address saying they messed with conservapedia? plus, how would they figure out where you work from your ip address?

Like the discussion page on Gravitation!

I'd get a raise

lol

well, if you're doing it from work

Done! Needed greens because I'm in a post-work stupor :)

you know, if i were a local prosecutor and i got a letter like that, I'd do everything in my power to bust them for wasting my time

Listening to Pandora... first time in awhile I fired it up for music.

pandora = good stugg

er. stugg = stuff.

Report you to the authorities? Since when is posting on a message board illegal?

Wow: this says it all: Today's featured entry: Ronald Reagan.

lol

i don't want to know what it says.

I listen to pandora far less often than I should. It's a really good site.

they use the federal vandalism statute to justify it :)

Minors under 16 years old use this site. Posting of obscenity here is punishable by up to 10 years in jail under 18 USC § 1470. Vandalism is punishable up to 10 years in jail per 18 USC § 1030.

Oh the entry on Bill Clinton is always entertaining.

You should look up the histories of some of the pages, some of the sarcastic vandalism is super funny.

is it vandalism if they give you permission to do it, though? cause i don't think it is.

Somehow, I don't think that would hold up.

that would be like handing out cans of spray paint, asking people to help decorate your walls, and then suing them

What a telling sample of conservative outlook in general.

Yeah, no kidding, Leigh.

At least crazy fundie conservative ooutlook.

I love skulking around on the macroevolution page. There are usually some real morons on that one.

I had a good time checking out all the articles on evolution on Wikipedia; there are a lot of morons on those, too.

I like the fact that the Jesus entry has links to no actual references other than other christian sites. Not saying whether or not I believe in Jesus, just saying that it's hard to claim any kind of authority if you aren't going to link to anything authortative...

bah! sources are for people who DOUBT things!

hehe

you don't need sources when you have FAITH!

Satan invented sources.

No kidding. Kinda like how all the evolution pages use some cracked home-school textbook called "Exploring Creation through Science" as the only source.

Man, you guys are gonna make me burst out laughing during class one of these days.

oh, nevermined, I looked up their cite: 18 USC § 1030, and its even more hilarious. The statute is not even about private computers, it is about protected government computers and is intended to prosecute people who steal information from protected computers that threatens national security or information used in a fraud for personal gain

That's awesome, Andy! At least you're using your legal education to goof off. Unlike the rest of us.

lol

Hahaha! That's especially funny considering that the person who operates the site is a lawyer!

Well, we've already established that they don't need any facts...

somebody didnt even bother to read it

he probably learned long ago that the threat of legal consequence is almost as good as the actual possibility of legal consequence

OK. I have to go do my long commute from my home office into my kitchen to make dinner for my family. Could take me seconds if there's a jam in the hallway near the bathroom...

even if it's made up.

Wow! I would say the site has just lost its credibility, but that would require it to have some sort of credibility to begin with.

It lost the hope of credibility?

I think I'm going to have to pony up the money to get access to the archives...

Maybe, but with a name like conservapedia it didn't have much hope to begin with.

It's well worth it, Andy.

Plus you get and icon!

*an

When I first heard the name, I thought it was going to be environmental.

And a flag!

You've been spending too much time at this hippie liberal law school, Gr8.

oh my god

i couldn't stay on the conservapedia for more than two minutes

it makes me too sad

lol, has anybody followed the Jonathan Edwards link on "this day in history?" Is it just me or is that Benjamin Franklin quote critical of religion and the poster just didn't realize?

Well, that and I read a lot of Ranger Rick in my formative years.

OK. That's more like it.

It is sad, but it does have the redeaming value of being extremely funny, Twin.

Yay!

I loved Ranger Rick! My son is 7... just about time to start him on it!

I didn't stay long enough to find a funny part.

"greenhouse affect" was more than enough to chase me away

If you find ignorance and stupidty funny, that is.

Speaking of funny... http://jonswift.blogspot.com/2007/02/conserva
pedia.html

I'm not sure what's funnier about Jon Swift - his satire, or the people that don't realize it's satire.

zomg

i love that stat - only 10% of americans think evolution is real

that's a gem

What does the "z" mean?

nothing, it's stupid netspeak

OK, I'm afraid my internet vocabulary is rather limited.

Actually, the really scary thing about that stat is that it's pretty accurate.

the z in zomg is like the p in pwned

Well, the p is due to people mispelling owned.

Uhhhh... "pwned?"

i hope they use that analogy on the SAT one day

Like saying "borked" for "broke"

Oh duh!

"I am astonished by all of the things I have learned already from Conservapedia. For example, I was unaware of something called the Law of Mass Conversation: "Matter cannot be created or destroyed, it can only change form." Now that I think about it, I have observed that often when you're in a conversation with a large group of people you sometimes think you have let a matter drop, but you end up rehashing the same topic over again in a different form. This happens a lot on the Internet, too. But I had no idea someone had written a law about it."

Hand me a fish.

owned = taking control of a UNIX machine (or other OS) remotely. To "own" is to smack down in some way. pwned is a misspelling variant of it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pwned

for example, Justice Sassypants totally pwned the lawyer for

Beaverton

sigh... http://www.conservapedia.com/Special:Search?s
earch=pwn&go=Go

I love that paragraph, Strider. I nearly cried laughing the first time I read it!

also, my laptop keyboard apparently pwnz by ability to type.

lol, I love justice sassypants

me too. <3

OK... remember that dinner I had to cook to feed my family? It's time.

justice sassypants = oregon supreme court justice

Me too !!!!eleventyone!1!

later all!

hehe, ok, enjoy your dinner, Andy

Bye!

but the Nazi are. Besides 6 million Jews dying, 3 million Christians were killed also along with many priests and nuns. This is a very touchy subject for the Jews and is not often discussed amongst them."

Communism: "Communists believe that if they share everything, no one will ever have to work."

lol

er... didnt mean to copy the part about the holocaust

Beautiful!

They've changed the holocaust entry somewhat since then, but it's still pretty aweful.

*awful (?)

I hate spelling.

me too. but i love firefox's spellchecker

even though it doesn't recognize the word firefox, which amuses me.

Firefox has a spellchecker!!?!?!

yup

Where!!??

i dunno, it came with it in my version

check their website, you might have to download it separately for the mac version

oh man, i didn't even think about all the nerdy law jokes we could make while playing Settlers until now.

Stephen Colbert is a writer and actor. In his Comedy Central show, "The Colbert Report" (pronounced cole-BEAR re-POR) he satirizes conservative political pundits like Bill O'Reilly. He plays the role of a right-wing extremist to express his opinion on conservative ideals. Colbert is also a Sunday school teacher.

If conservapedia is just too depressing, check out the Uncyclopedia. Or the Wookieepedia. Or anything else ending in "-pedia."

wookiepedia is an awsome resource if you are a huge starwars nerd :)

Oooh I just heard about Wookiepedia, haven't checked it out yet, though.

lol, no conservapedia entry on Tom DeLay

DeLay is too liberal.

There's also GodTube and IslamTube, you know, YouTube for fundies!

Same for Duke Cunningham and Ted Haggard

lol

What about Mark Foley?

you know what would be fun? make up a fake conservative/fundy site, post fundy content for like a month or two until you have a following, and then one day post something over-the-top offensive.

Oh those sites already exist, leigh

Here's one: http://www.dbhome.dk/carlo/cat.htm

Cats are not good christians

Speaking of evil cats...

Smudge is obsessed with people food.

yeah she is

Specifically bread. The other day she dragged an entire loaf of bread into the livingroom and chewed off all the crusts.

Soooo when we bought some new bread, we hid it up in the cupboard.

I thought is was save, but then this morning I awoke to the sound of glass shattering.

that was my bread :)

When I walked upstairs Smudge was standing in the hallway with an entire loaf of bread hanging from her jaws.

HA!

Not only did she get into the cupboard, she knocked a glass off the counter in the process.

So I spent my morning cleaning up glass.

I think there's some still lodged in my feet.

Well, that's one way to clean up glass. . .

haha true

Or, you could roll a loaf of bread on the area, and have the glass stick to the bread.

Hey, that's a good idea.

get a loaf of bread and spray it with that nasty-tasting sour apple stuff they make to stop pets from chewing on things

Get all those little bits that won't sweep up... but Smudge would probably just grab the loaf out of my hand and more craziness would ensue.

maybe that'll put her off it

i just missed whatever lansing said cause i was typing

But then my bread would smell like bitter apple.

Me too

I'm kinda sad about it, it sounded like it was pretty funny/offensive.

well, you wouldn't do it to YOUR bread. this would be a sacrificial loaf, so to speak.

Something about one leg hopping around by itself. I don't think anyone heard it in its entirety, thus the delay in laughing.

he was talking about who should bear the loss when a tortfeasor is missing or absent, the plaintiff or the remaining tortfeasors

he said there is a leg off, and someon is hopping around on one leg, how do we translate that into a dollar loss and who pays.

Thanks.

I'll put it in my notes!

"there's a leg off?" That is precious.

Darn spelling

*prescious (?)

or was I right the first time?

Ouch!

I'm not really sure what just happened.

Stupid Sudoku.

lol

he quipped that we know what pet food causes kidney cancer but not the answer to his torts hypotheticals

OK good, that's what I thought.

Let's face it, recalled pet food is a lot more interesting than torts hypotheticals.

Let's face it, recalled pet food is a lot more interesting than torts hypotheticals.

Darn chatbox!

While dinner cooks, I will do Puzzle #1! :)

go

Sounded good to me, Leigh.

Ouch! Math!

Way to go, Leigh!

You rocked the math questions.

math is hard :-(

Who knew we'd be doing math in law school.

no kidding, i eschewed math 4 years ago

on the plus side, i just finished the sudoku

Oooh an expert. Don't think I'm gonna finish this one before class is over.

haha I love his tangents

mollydockers

New Icon test

Darn
