Random Insanity

The two greatest minds of my youth...well the one greatest mind of my youth and a kid with spikey hair, but that's a whole other matter.
Anyway, you see all these vinyl window stickers of calvin urinating on different logos...these don't particularly bother me since I don't see that behavior being too terribly out of line with calvin's attitude, also I always thought that they were licensed since they appear to be actual drawings of calvin. Turns out I was wrong, no one is allowed to make use of Calvin since Waterson never licensed him for any purpose. So that sucks but still amusing. But now I'm starting to see all these window stickers of a kid that looks a lot like calvin(badly drawn but the likeness is hard to miss). So I find that these irritate me for a number of reasons...
1) the art is crap and I don't want to remember calvin like that.
2) It doesn't really seem like calvin to conform to any rules written by anyone.
AND Finally the worst one
3) The people using these things are hypocrites because(and I'm not one to quote the bible)
Eighth Commandment, Chapter 20, Verse 15 Exodus
Thou shalt not steal.
And if Waterson has not given any permission for his work to be used like that, then that is exactly what these people are doing.

The Leaves gaily Dance
The wind cheerily nips your nose
I'm stuck in a box

SO I'm thinking that Linux is a great thing, you know a wonderful operating system that doesn't cost a penny. But you know there is a hidden cost to linux, the cost of an internet connection. If you look at it a five year old can set up a windows computer with out any help. but take a linux system and someone who is only somewhat familiar with it(myself) they can set up the linux system just fine, but take away the internet and its like a blind man trying to tell you that your windows(the ones in the side of your house) are clean and put in correctly. Or as was more accuratly pointed out to me, like a blind man trying to hang pictures, getting them on the wall is easy but getting them straight on the wall is another matter.

The drill whizzed gaily
The Dentist grins very brightly
He is done, I hurt

So went to the dentist last week. He removed a temporary cap, that wasn't so bad, to put in a real one. You know a little painful, but nothing really to worry about. So before he starts he looks at me and says, why don't we do this without anesthesia. Silly me I agree, and he proceeds with the work. So the removing wasn't so bad, but then he cleared the hole with a blast of air... air, I had never felt something so painful in my life...and just for those people going, "Ah, what a wuss, can't even take a little air". I've felt pain before, I've felt a lot of pain before, nothing like this. Also keep in mind when he originally did the drilling, he said "Wow, I've gotten the cavity out and I'm so close to the nerve that the tooth is turning pink", yea shit. Then he puts a deadening agent on it, that hurts worse than the air, next he puts an etching solution on the hole, so the cement will have something to stick to. Keep in mind this is after the deadening agent, makes putting on the deadening agent feel like a walk in the park. So next the cement, and then the actual cap(actually its an overlay) not too bad. Then he shines the high intensity light on it to cause it to polymerize. It felt like my jaw was frying from the inside out, like the nerve endings were curling up as the inside of my entire gum flashed into charcoal. It was so bad I wouldn't have been surprised if I had smelled burning flesh as part of my face fell off, and then it was over. Hope I never have to do that again.

I love Yusuke...
Beat him up he just gets pissed
Piss him off and he hits you harder
Make the fight harder and he'll just come up with a crazy ass way of flattening your butt.

I hate waiting, don't know why I'm even posting its not like there is more than one person looking at this. Maybe I should talk about fractals...nah, I don't think anyone wants to hear about that. I could post poems, that might get some interest.
Well, back to my waiting, maybe I'll post after I'm no longer waiting.

Okay so here is my beef, and its not cow. I've just read the Time article on "Intelligent Design" and to follow it up I saw the Bullshit Eps on Creationsimwhich talks about ID. All I can really saw is ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!! So my first problem is that a scientific theory is

"In the sciences, a theory is a logically self-consistent model or framework describing the behaviour of a certain natural or social phenomenon (thus either originating from observable facts or supported by observable facts). (In contrast, a hypothesis is a statement which has not been tested yet). Theories are formulated, developed and evaluated according to the scientific method."

So in terms of evolution being a theory, its not like its thought to be a wild idea...Okay enough for now, I'll really work up a rant later.

Well this is my New account here at live journal, stay tuned for more strange posts
