Reasonably Logical

Take this image I pulled from my friend William’s away message. So true. The part that made me crack up laughing though was the “null set” bubble. Ok, so I’m a math geek, but hey its still funny (and true).

Other funny ones from the same source:

This one may get me shot by some of my friends in Illinois, but oh well…

OK, enough for now. Suffice to say there are more where that came from.

Antarctica base gets 16,500 condoms before darkness

I thought this article was pretty damn funny. I’m pleased that they’re handling the problem intelligently though. I don’t know why, but it sorta surprises me that they’re able to. It really shouldn’t; maybe I’m just getting cynical in my “old age”. Or maybe its just that anything that involves sexuality that the US government touches gets f’ed up. Nah, can’t be that…

I have the utmost respect for these gentlemen and their effort to make a difference even after they themselves have passed on. Personally, I hope to make a difference in the world before I die, but if I can’t or maybe even if I can, I want to do something similar to this.

A great example is the Capital Words project. Every wonder what our politicians are actually talking about in Washington but don’t have the time to read the full transcript? This site will tell you in a single word. I really like how they’ve used technology to simply something really complex (congressional transcripts) down to something really simple (a single word.) The result is easily understood by anyone and gives a good insight into the current hot topics on capital hill. Now if only the had source linking…

I encountered this site through the blog of the Open House Project. As I’ve said before, I enjoy reading their articles for the occasional gems scattered throughout. Most of their posts aren’t that useful, but some really make you stop and think.

Last night some friends and I went down to NYC to see Avenue Q. I’d heard good things about it and knew I liked the sound track, but I was still surprised by how much I enjoyed it. Avenue Q is fricking hilarious. (Definitely an adult sense of humor.) I really liked how it used humor to poke fun at real social issues.

Here were my favorite songs and why:

• “What Do You Do with a B.A. in English?” - Funny
• “It Sucks to Be Me” - Funny, but also pokes fun at everyone. Who hasn’t had that moment of self pity when there’s no good reason?
• “If You Were Gay” - I had so much sympathy for Rod during this song. Poor guy.
• “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist” - So true, so true. Now if only we could non-PC enough to just admit it.
• “The Internet Is for Porn” - My favorite song. So funny, and so true. This ones is a lot better on the sound track then it was live though.
• “I Wish I Could Go Back to College” - This song is *so* me. Especially the last line.
• “For Now” - My life right now

Of course, it didn’t hurt that the lead actor (Howie Michael Smith) was really cute.

It’s not often I get spam that makes me laugh out loud. This one did.
