Lottery of Babylon: Apr 25, 2012; STRAIGHT TROPIN'

The other day someone on my facebook posted about all the feels she got from final fantasy 2 (yes she really didn't even use the roman numeral wtf). I had to explain to her that the true name of that game was final fantasy III and that the name was just changed outside of japan because they wanted to dumb it down for the american audiences by making the numbers smaller so they'd be able to fit in stupid brains like hers. Needless to say, she did not take kindly to this. No pics because I don't own a computer but I wanted to share this story with you friends asap.

Hi. A question for Miss Bellamy. In episode 2F09 when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib twice in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is some sort of a magic xylophone or something? Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Sometimes OKCupid really comes through. Ellipses mine.

quote:

FIRST THING, THIS STUPID THING WONT ACCEPT ANY OF MY PHOTOS. ALSO, WHY IS EVERYONE LYING ABOUT THEIR BODY?! NOW PAST HOW MUCH THIS WEBSITES SUCKS ALREADY...

. . . now I go to school for physics, and I am working towards my degree in law. . . . I'm very intelligent, it can take me 5-10 minutes to explain what happens in my head in a few seconds. I'm also very youthful . . . I'm the type who makes a lot of jokes, sometimes when I shouldn't. And I am very confident and well aware of my abilities.

I am results oriented, ambitious and set precedents. In a local of 3,500 people, I was the only apprentice to take a journeyman night course, while i was in college on the weekends and school during the week. I had to get special permission from a bunch of people, but I got to take the class I wanted. . . .

Its hard for me to find someone that i accept on an intellectual level. I have a lot to say, I'm 85% right (dont ask my gpa, it says 75% but it includes homework. ask my practice LSAT who says 148/180. I have not taken an IQ test yet but i will one day. I am curious to see the specific questions and methods they use) I have some allergies. I cant stand it how you cant go into a store with just shorts and sandals on. I hate spelling and capitalization. but dont worry, I wont forget to correct you if you misspeak lol XD

I'm looking form someone who is smart, can take a joke, and I want to say talks a lot, but if two people who talk a lot are together, who is listening? Perhaps someone who is patient, and can talk when i am breathing lol. Also, you should know I am good with words and numbers, so not minding if I cant keep my mouth shut during a movie about how the mathematics of the physics of a situation make no sense and it makes the whole movie stupid (lol somehow the whole movie) is a huge plus. Basically, in a nutshell, if you watch "Big Bang Theory", and your like "Oh I wouldn't mind dating Sheldon", than wash your hands and talk back to me! If not, please don't touch my stuff.

I think my favorite movie ever is Pain and Gain. It is a true inspiration, and a guide to how America, and the world, really works.

On a typical Friday night I am
not being typical

The most private thing I�m willing to admit
IM sick of a few things here on the internet with you ladies...

#1- your body type description (please look up BMI index for a proper description, BE HONEST! YOU MAKE IT AWKWARD WHEN YOU LIE BECAUSE WE WILL FIND OUT ENOUGH)

#2- Do not say you "love going to the gym" if you do not. Almost every fat person has that on their profile. No, you dont, thats why your fat. Just because you started going a few weeks, or maybe even months ago, does not mean you "love" it. it means your improving yourself trying to lose wieght in order to find a mate, and when you do find a mate, your motivation is gone, and you will stop. I work out ever day, I have for more than a year, and im not putting "i love the gym", because i dont. i hate the gym. a lot. i work out for myself. I like the way i look in the mirror. you know who loves going to the gym? bodybuilders. if you dont look like a bodybuilder, dont lie and say you like going to the gym. just stop, your not fooling anyone with an ounce of reason or logic, only yourself and idiots.

#3- how would you feel if we were at a table talking, and i just walked away without saying anything? what do you do 15 minutes later? you still sitting there? what about an hour? IF WE ARE TALKING, DONT JUST STOP MESSAGING. THATS RUDE. I DONT KNOW WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE, BUT I DESERVE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON. I dont know if you died, are busy, or just not interested. you leave ME feeling awkward, because i dont know what is going on. for some reason people think because its the internet, they dont have to have manners anymore. im willing to bet your just as rude and ignorant in real life, thats why you dont think its rude.

ALSO: YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR PIX, AND YOU HAVE MANNERS.
IF YOUR JUST GOING TO STOP MESSAGING ME ONE DAY BECAUSE THE MAGIC 8 BALL SAID "ASK AGAIN LATER", GO AWAY AND BLOCK ME.

I doubt he'll e-mail me or whatever it is people can do when they see you're been looking at their page. But if he does maybe I will tell him that his profile looks like it was professionally written to make him look like an rear end in a top hat.

It's funny how angry it's making nerds though. The "I loving love science" facebook page (that's verified for some reason?) posted it today and the comments are pretty funny.

Like this nerd:

quote:
Yeah , there's other names for nerds:
● Boss
●CEO
● engineer
● millionaire
● billionaire
● Doctor
● scientist

Bosses, CEOs, millionaires and billionaires aren't usually nerds. They're usually people born into wealth or who were otherwise not nerds in their formative years. Good job I loving love science, yet another thing you get wrong or misreport.

Bosses, CEO and so on need sales and management skills, not technical skills. That's always been the main issue with the "The geeks will inherit the Earth" fallacy.

Try explaining that to your average militant STEM major though, it'll get real funny real fast.

Yeah, I do statistical analysis and our whole floor is full of nerds, and a big part of our job is explaining the maths in non-technical terms and recommending strategies to the bosses and execs, who don't really have much to do with STEM subjects at all beyond maybe knowing a bit of finance or economics. Those guys do things like managing media appearances and overseeing and managing all the different divisions, without having to understand each and every one in a lot of depth at all.
