Tonight's selection is from the well received book Programming the Universe by Seth Lloyd. Surprisingly enough I happened across a brand new hardback copy at a greatly reduced price at the Town and Country supermarket in Salem, Arkansas. Apparently my tastes in literature are fairly different from this region's general preferences. A cursory glance at the offerings on the shelves of the Fulton County Public Library also tend to bear this out. So be it. "In the Schroedinger's Cat paradox, the state of the particle, detector, and cat after the measurement is |left, no click, cat alive> + |right, no click, cat dead>. In some weird quantum way, the cat is alive and dead at the same time. "The Schroedinger's Cat paradox has inspired much confusion. Stephen Hawking got so tired of this paradox that he would often say (in paraphrase of Joseph Goebbels), 'Whenever I hear the words 'Schroedinger's Cat,' I reach for my gun.'"
Okay, so I included a fourth line. Sue me. It was still effing funny!

that doesn't take itself so damned seriously.
Tons of skills, adventure zones, activities,
parodies; few sacred cows.

Beetlejuice is an offbeat 1988 motion picture, directed by Tim Burton. In this scene we witness the weird comedy which ensues as a New England home's deceased owners attempt to ruin the new residents' uptight and pretentious yuppie dinner party. [ IMDb | wiki ]
Wonderful compilation video of clips from the 1989 cult movie classic Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, which features the motion picture soundtrack cut by Kiss, from the sequel Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Kudos to YouTube member H34RTL3SS for a job well done. STATION!!! Be excellent to each other. [ IMDb | OFFICIAL FAN SITE | wiki ]
Versatile, accomplished performer, David Hyde Pierce thrills the audience at the 1999 "Just For Laughs" Montreal Comedy Festival. For this performance Mr. Pierce borrows upon his "Frasier" character, psychiatrist Dr. Niles Crane, for a humor-rich session which includes stand-up and "The Therapist Song." Enjoy!

This should need no explanation. **sigh** Oh, alright. If you absolutely insist... I've got more arms and legs than you. What? You don't believe me? Very well, then. Have it your way. I was The Lady in the Lake. Yes, I was. Really, I was! See? I've still got dishpan hands after all these centuries! Oh, I see. You're not buying that one, either. Fine. I was King Arthur's favorite chamber maid. Shhhh... Can't have the rest of them getting jealous now, can we? More doubting? You are a cynical git, aren't you? I've had about enough of your condescension. Click here already, dammit!
What can I say? I love a good, light-hearted dare that can be shared with friends. [ Wiki ]Blanket Copyright © Disclaimer:

 Multiply, please forgive the length of this video. Mr. Guthrie's song is a Thanksgiving holiday classic, and enjoying it together is one of my family's favorite traditions. Any other internet locations where this file may be publicly accessed will likely be swamped on Thanksgiving. Thank you for your understanding.
Al's 10th album, "Running With Scissors" was released in June of 1999. This wicked parody of Puff Daddy's "All About The Benjamins" became an anthem, of sorts, for the 1337 world. It also became a driving promotional force for Pentium chip manufacturer, AMD. Sure, the Y2K and spec references show this song's age, but the rest of the tech-fu 'tude definitely applies, yo! What?!? Blanket Copyright © Disclaimer:

An Amish with a 'tude?
You know that's unheard of.
I never wear buttons, but I got a cool hat
And my homies agree
I really look good in black, fool. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The official certificate states that I was born versus "hatched". And it was allegedly a live birth. Really. I can't make up stuff that's *this* weird. Why are you looking at me like that?!?
