Come on. You gotta admit The Infinite Conundrum is pretty damn funny. I told the monkeys at the zoo and they are still laughing about it.

sigh, if I said something like the infinite conundrum about something else, I'd have been berated by a lot of americans and/or women.

Had you said it about something else, it would not have carried the same impact as the semi-clever word-concept parody actually used. :(

Besides, I never claimed to be designed intelligently. :P

Thank goodness spring is right around the corner. This winter has been nuts with all the bad weather.

Careful with the weather references!

North of Montreal we have enjoyed one of the warmest winters in memory with about half of the typical snowfall. It never got much below -20C and we have had some daytime highs in the + single digits in February!

Seems to be that Polar Oscillation that bent the Jet stream and sent all our cold and snow to the US.

Elsewhere, Vancouver gave a new, meteorological meaning to the term "Olympic fever" :D

Same here. It has been way too warm all winter, so our snow has been wet and heavy and hard to manage. And looking at the weather report, no break in sight -- more warm days for at least a week.

Let's implore the jet stream a return to normalcy.

Especially when it falls on someone else's driveway! :D

(Or roof. Last year I shovelled the snow from the roof 3 times, this year, not once!)

Pro tip: If you get a pistachio and you cant open the shell, use the shell from another pistachio to pry open the tough one. This way you don't hurt your fingers or fingernails or whatever.

I am turning 30 this month, and I think I will feel kinda depressed when it comes, didn't run a marathon, nor bungie jumped, nor parachute, and the sex-things are mostly unacomplished also. Did I waste my youthness?

There's plenty of time to jump out of perfectly good airplanes. Plenty of time for the rest of it, too, though you might want to get a move on that sex thing.

hmm this is the good question to think about on the way on El Camino! One day I will make this trip, but I dont think it happens before I get in the 40+... :)

Oh, probably you did. I'm busy wasting my senior years.

Mostly I will just say happy birthday. But as for regrets, I have some, but I definitely do not fret at night about never having jumped out of an airplane.
