The Wikipedia Game.
Here's how it works. I will give you two articles. You have to get from the first article to the second by only clicking links in articles. Whoever can connect the two articles with the fewest links, while matching or beating my magic number, wins a bag of marshmallows*. You must provide your link trail, and no fair editing Wikipedia.
This week, you must link from RAH-66 Comanche to Chair. My magic number is 7 links.
*Like I'll ever get around to sending you any.

Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous 62-day
Time Rhombicosidodecahedron.
If Earth stood still, it would have mid-day, mid-night, sun-up and sun-down and 58 other points as 62 corners. Each rotation of earth has 62 mid-days, 62 mid-nights, 62 sun-ups and 62 sun-downs.
The sixty-two(62) space times demonstrates rhombicosidodecahedric proof of 62 full days simultaneously on earth within one (1) rotation. The academia created 1 day greenwich time is bastardly queer and dooms future youth and nature to a hell.
Ignorance of 62 day harmonic Rhombicosidodecahedric nature indicts humans as unfit to live on earth.

The Wisest Human
I will give $100,000.00 to any person who can disprove 62 days in each earth rotation. It's a pity that religious and academic word is a crime against Nature and enslaves Children. 62-cornered Truth is ineffable by man or god. Until Word is Cornered, all Math is Fiction.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Earth has 62 simultaneous Days within only 1 rotation. Losing 61 Days in each Earth rotation has retarded your mentality to stupid and an education of Evil. You do not have the mind or education to envision Nature's Time Rhombicosidodecahedron.
-------------------------------------
You are probably brainwashed, indoctrinated, educated stupid and cannot comprehend Nature's Harmonic Simultaneous 62-Day Perpetual Time Rhombicosidodecahedron Creation.
When the Sun shines upon Earth, 2 - major Time points are created on opposite sides of Earth - known as Midday and Midnight. Where the 2 major Time forces join, synergy creates 2 new minor Time points we recognize as Sunup and Sundown.
The 4-equidistant Time points, along with 58 others, can be considered as Time Rhombicosidodecahedron imprinted upon the circle of Earth. In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 61-corner Time points, thus creating 3844 corners, 1488 hours and 62-simultaneous 24 hour Days within a single rotation of Earth - equated to a Higher Order of Life Time Rhombicosidodecahedron.
Ignorance of the Time Rhombicosidodecahedron is evil.
---------------------------
All Educated are Stupid from brainwashing and indoctrination. Pedant teachers cannot comprehend that there are 62 simultaneous Years within a single rotation of Earth about the Sun. Each season has its own separate corner Year.
----------------------
Educated people are stupid cowards.
Not a single university has accepted my challenge for a public debate of Nature's Time Rhombicosidodecahedron. They are actually brainwashed stupid and decline any public debate for fear of public embarrassment. Physicists forbidden to acknowledge Time Rhombicosidodecahedron. Stupid educators always beget stupid graduates. Not one knows of their 62-corner metamorphosis.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Time Rhombicosidodecahedron is the T.O.E.
Theoretical physic's Superstring Theory of the 62 fundamental forces exists within Time Rhombicosidodecahedron. Time Rhombicosidodecahedron is T.O.E. or Theory of Everything. It is the Theory of the Universe. It is the Holy Grail of Physics. It is the Ultimate Theory. It is the Unified Field Theory. It is the Theory to End all Theories - and is a totally different principle from theoretical physicists thinking. Academic ignorance of Time Rhombicosidodecahedron dooms life.
***************************
If ignorant of the almighty Time Rhombicosidodecahedron Creation Truth, you deserve to be killed. Killing you is not immoral - but justified to save life on Earth for future generations. Academic taught singularity within universe of opposites, has lobotomized your mind. You are Enslaved by Word - no whip or shackle required. You do not have the freedom to discuss/debate Time Rhombicosidodecahedron. Academia destroys your mind by suppressing opposite view.
********************************
Evil people deny Time Rhombicosidodecahedron. Educators are flat-out liars. Evil media hides Time Rhombicosidodecahedron. -1 x -1 = +1 is stupid and evil. Word worship equates to evil. Bible induces a barren Earth. Evil 1 day Bible kills children. I have found 61 more 24 hour days on Earth that educators refuse to let you know about. Brainwashed & indoctrinated, you were educated stupid and evil. A pity about your mind. Time Rhombicosidodecahedron = Highest Order. Time Rhombicosidodecahedron damns academia by rotating 62-corners of life. The 'only subject' on Earth banned from debate by evil and stupid educators is that of Nature's Harmonic Time Rhombicosidodecahedron ineffable Truth. Any educator who allows Time Rhombicosidodecahedron debate will most likely be fired or killed by- Okay, that's enough. I can't keep this up any longer.

From an Actual E-mail I Received Today.
"We are participating in a US Army TATRC and NIST-Threat and Situational Assessment development around Regional Capacity to sense and respond to pandemic flu and similar events. The NIST project will include an effort to add a Bayesian BN onto the Semantic Web stack related to machine learning. Several of our group are participating in OASIS-open.org standards such as EDXL and HAVE as well as OMG efforts in BPM and MDA- RuleML.
"So an obvious question is: can your reports be presented in XML and XSD formats, and are you using OWL-DL now or will you be in the near future?"
A bag of marshmallows to the first person who can tell me what the hell this guy is talking about.* Time is of the essence.
I swear, there must be a government department that does nothing but come up with acronyms for the military and technology. They're probably called the EACD: Excessive Acronym Creation Department. Or maybe the DCTLAFLAOWMLIC: Department for the Creation of Three-Letter Acronyms, Four-Letter Acornyms, and Other Ways of Making Language an Impediment to Communication.
*You must explain what all the acronyms mean to qualify for the marshmallows.

Ask Dr. Breen.
Dear Dr. Breen. The Home Owner's Association of the condo I live at seems to have something against fancy parking (more commonly known as "backwards parking"). They keep leaving me dire warnings on my car stating that they'll tow it if I continue to "violate the parking regulations". So far I've received five notes. My question is this: Why has the Laguna Village Owners' Association seen fit to suppress fancy parkers?
-Concerned Fancy Parker in Laguna Hills.
Dear Concerned,
Dear Dr. Breen. The Home Owner's Association of the condo I live at seems to have something against fancy parking (more commonly known as "backwards parking"). They keep leaving me dire warnings on my car stating that they'll tow it if I continue to "violate the parking regulations". So far I've received five notes. My question is this: Why has the Laguna Village Owners' Association seen fit to suppress fancy parkers?
-Concerned Fancy Parker in Laguna Hills.
Dear Concerned,Thank you for writing, Concerned. Of course your question touches on one of the basic biological impulses, with all its associated hopes and fears for the future of the species. I also detect some unspoken questions. Do our benefactors really know what's best for us? What gives them the right to make this kind of decision for mankind? Will they ever allow us to fancy park again?
Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns, rather than try to answer every possible question you might have left unvoiced. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, hover cars are in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets.
I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct. Instinct was our mother when we were an infant species. Instinct coddled us and kept us safe in those hardscrabble years when we hardened our sticks and cooked our first meals above a meager fire and started at the shadows that leapt upon the cavern's walls. But inseparable from Instinct is its dark twin, Superstition. Instinct is inextricably bound to unreasoning impulses, and today we clearly see its true nature. Instinct has just become aware of its irrelevance, and like a cornered beast, it will not go down without a bloody fight. Instinct would inflict a fatal injury on our species. Instinct creates its own oppressors, and bids us rise up against them. Instinct tells us that the unknown is a threat, rather than an opportunity. Instinct slyly and covertly compels us away from change and progress. Instinct, therefore, must be expunged. It must be fought tooth and nail, beginning with the basest of human urges: The urge to fancy park.
We should thank our benefactors for giving us respite from this overpowering force. They have thrown a switch and exorcised our demons in a single stroke. They have given us the strength we never could have summoned to overcome this compulsion. They have given us purpose. They have turned our eyes toward the stars.
Let me assure you that fancy parking will be allowed on the day that we have mastered ourselves...the day we can prove we no longer need it. And that day of transformation, I have it on good authority, is close at hand.

My Heart Is Heavy with the Guilt of My Sins, But Thy Infinite Mercy Lifts My Soul.
What a glorious day dawns this fine winter morn. Verily, all God's creation doth sing the praises of this beautiful morn. 'Tis as if Aphrodite herself bent low to Earth and touched the grass and made it greener, the skies and made them clearer, and the rivers and waters and made them as glass. Truly even the birds and beasts have shown through song and dance the exquisiteness of this day of days, more beautiful than life herself.
'Tis days like this that the burden of labour is lessened, while being more difficult to bear. For the beauty of the day calls me forth from my slumber and lifts the drudgery of the routine of the morn'. But all the while, the labour of earning the day's wages is all the more difficult to bear, as my place of toil is as a cage, while the beauty of yonder outside world tempts me and torments me through the invisible walls of my prison. So it is with sweet sorrow that I depart my domicile and prepare to venture forth swiftly in my mechanical horse.
But what is this? There is a note upon mine horseless carriage from the night watchman! "To the owner of this fine machine, thou art hearby duly notified that thou art in violation of the just laws set forth by the noble and honorable elected officials of the Association of Domicile Owners of Laguna Village. Thy vehicle is not in accord with the statutes of proper dormant vehicle positioning."
This cannot be? What crime is it that I am accused of committing? "Thy vehicle has been set in its designated area with the hind quarters inwards and the fore quarters outwards, in violation of what is just and right." Oh, but it is true! Truly, I have committed such a heinous crime as to stable my mechanical horse in a manner opposite to what is expected of reasonable persons. Low, my heart sinks unto the ground, as the guilt of my sins is too great to bear.
The sky appears to darken with my heart. Though it was but a glorious day only moments before, I cannot see that but what is gray and dark. It is as if all of nature has darkened at the unmitigated evil of my terrible action. The sky has darkened, the grass died and turned brown, and the rivers and waters run red as if bloody. Even the birds and the beasts have silenced their once joyful song, as all of God's creation suffers under the oppression of my sins.
Surely, I cannot hope to ever set myself right in the eyes of God and my fellow man. My sins are beyond the forgiveness of even the most merciful of rulers. I must depart henceforth and become a recluse of the desert until the end of my time. My meals will be the sands and rocks and my neighbors will be the scorpions and snakes. For I am unfit to be around the civilized.
But wait, there is more to the watchman's note! "But in the infinite mercy of our wonderful rulers, they have seen fit to give thou a second chance. Go at once to remove thine vehicle from its abominable positioning. Thou hast been warned that thy vehicle's identification has been recorded in the Black Registry kept by the enforcers of peace in our fair community. Repeat violations shall result in the impounding of thine vehicle." But that is joyful news! For the note doth be naught but a warning! The ever-merciful and ever-caring ruling class of this village has chosen to grant me reprieve from the punishment that surely I deserve.
Glorious are they in their mercy, the quality of which is as honey upon my tongue, which had previous tasted naught but the bitterness of my sins. Truly thy mercy is as great as the mountains and rains down upon me like the storms of a great flood. From this day hence, I shalt go forth proclaiming the wisdom and justice of the honorable and noble officials of the Laguna Village Domicile Owners' Association, blessed be their name, and I shall fancy park no more!

In case you were wondering what this was all about....
So, basically, they're threatening to TOW and IMPOUND my car because *gasp* I BACKED IN! DUN DUN DUUUUUUN!!!!

W00t! I'm Time's Person of the Year!
I guess someone recognizes the achievements of all my poorly-worded and misspelled trolling posts on the WoW forums.
I would just like to take this opportunity to thank all you pathetic losers for sucking so much, and I just want to say, "I'm the best."
I think I'll add that to my resumé right now: "Was awarded 2006 Person of the Year award from Time magazine; Am the Best."

If Tom's super-power is the ability to recognize Helena Bonham Carter in a tenth of a second, mine must be the ability to recognize Hal Fishman in a tenth of a second.

In the year 3000, they call it "Xmas".
And Santa is a deranged killer robot that delivers vengeance for all your wrongdoings.
PhotoDump.
'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
(I am loving my new camera. This picture was a 1/4 second shutter speed and the one before was a full half second. No tripod, just me holding the camera and they still came out clear. Image stabilizing technology FTW! /bows to the Canon gods.)
Not a creature was stirring
Except for Babe the Pig, whom we mercilessly slaughtered and ate for dinner.
Yummy!
And this kitten which, apparently, Santa put under the Christmas tree.
Merry Christmas! Have a kitten!
(Again, 0.3 second shutter speed, no blurries.)
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care (except for the ones that Isis hated with a passion and would tear down the first chance she got)
In the hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there (or maybe Grom Hellscream and Tichondrius, when they finish disemboweling this angel).
Somethingsomethingblahblah Merry Xmas to all and to all a good night!

Wikipedia is Dangerous.
I know of few better time wasters. There aren't too many places where you can begin by looking up 17th century sailing vessels and end up reading about the history of the Luftwaffe, only by clicking links within the articles. The trail went something like this:
Fluyt
Sailing Vessel
Sailing Ship
Corvette
Littoral Combat Ship
USS Freedom (LCS-1)
RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile
Braunschweig-class Corvette
Germany
Luftwaffe
It's sort of like the IMDb game. The way that works is if you are looking at one page in IMDb and you decide you want to look up another page, you are not allowed to search on the term. Instead, you just have to click links to get from one actor/filmmaker/movie page to another actor/filmmaker/movie page. Bonus points if you do it in 6 links or fewer.

I Have Regained My Masculinity.
Ok, so I haven't slept well for the past couple months. The reason? How could The Pickles minivan possibly be more powerful than my car? Why, cruel world, why?
Well, I finally did a little bit of checking and this is what I found:
2005 Pontiac G6 GT:
3425 lb curb weight / 202 hp = 16.96 lbs./hp
2007 Kia Sedona:
4387 lb. curb weight (standard) / 244 hp = 17.98 lbs./hp
4646 lb. curb weight (full option) / 244 hp = 19.04 lbs./hp
Vindicated! I rule! My car is still better! And if you don't believe me, check out these little tidbits from Cars.com.
2005 Pontiac G6 GT:
0-60 in 8.19 seconds (I have verified this)
1/4 mile in 16.05 seconds at 91.08 mph
Lateral Acceleration: .88g (again, verified by me on a routine basis)
Slalom: 61 mph
2006 Kia Sedona (no data for 2007, but the weight and engine specs are the same for both model years):
0-60 in 8.25 seconds
1/4 mile in 16.17 seconds at 88.60 mph
Lateral Acceleration: .74g
Slalom: 55 mph
I rule! I rule!
Plus, the '07 G6 GT now comes standard with a 3.5L 224 hp engine with an option for a 3.9L 240 hp and the GTP comes standard with a 3.6L 252 hp engine. Looks like I'll have to trade mine in to make it definitive who has the more powerful car.
