To have some fun on your own, check-out this answer at google answers describing anagram generators on the web. No, I didn’t use one creating mine.

Nature’s Thermometer

Ever been out camping and wonder what is the temperature. Well, never wonder again . . . at least if you can count, add and listen to crickets chirp. Basically, count the the number of chirps in 13 seconds, add 40 to it and you’ll have a really good approximation of the outdoor temp. Kinda cool.

iCal Events

One thing I really like about OS X is iCal. However, it is one thing I also really dislike. It takes much to long to open, especially considering my new computer, when I just want to check one event. Well, now I like iCal much more since all I have to do is look at iCal Events — a nice Dashboard Widget I just discovered. Take a look at it, I’m sure you’ll like it as much as I do.

Comments work . . .

Turns out my comments didn’t work because of an invalid post url causing all of my friends to get redirected to a spam poison website. Well, now if you want to comment and answer the silly question correctly (hint: fp) it will work.

Governmentium

Got this in the e-mail and thought is was worth posting

New Element is Discovered

A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element has been named “Governmentium.” Governmentium has one neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and 224 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.

These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Governmentium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete, when it would normally take less than a second.

Governmentium has a normal half-life of 4 years; it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as “Critical Morass.” When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium – an element which radiates just as much energy as the Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

On Wednesday of this week, at two minutes and three seconds after 1:00 am, the time and date will be 01:02:03 04/05/06.

That won’t happen again for a thousand years.

Just think about all those significant, insignificant things you miss every day 🙂
