Charming.  I never knew what a piece of work he was, I thought he was just an alcoholic and a drug addict.

Uh, Who?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

He's a dictator who's managed to convince his subjects they live in a democracy. That is ... something.

His error is 'thinking' West coast rehab jargon should be applied to all and everything.

I'm missing the part where you add alcohol.  :hmm:

Mechatronics sounds awesome, like out of some sci-fi movie or anime.

It does sound awesome. And it's great fun if you're a nerd. Basically playing with robots and shit. Doesn't pay as well as what I do now, though.

Mmm, so it has to do mostly with Robotics? I always assumed it was some kind of mix between Mechanics and Electronics, but didn't imagine it'd also have Robotics throwin in the mix.

I know a guy who works in the Mechatronics department at ESA, so from now on I'll assume he works in space mechas.  :ph34r:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

QuoteCan't stop thinking about how the owner of the Rams worth $12.5 billion was able to receive a $100 million tax break to build a $5 billion stadium named after a student loan company while 45 million Americans owe $1.8 trillion in student debt and 600,000 are homeless. #SuperBowl

:P

I used to quite like a bit of hippity hop so I decided to check the super bowl halftime show....
Wtf is this shit?
Sub 15 minutes and they've got a set and a billion dancers way outside the budget of most full time tours. I hope they are planning to use this for a tour and its not just a one off thing to be burned.

Everybody talking about that owl, but the only one I saw last evening was a pretty normal bird, certainly not superb.

Have you never watched the Half time show?

This one was pretty toned down.

Q:  What do you call a Detroit Lion with a Superbowl ring?
A:  A thief

;)

Congratulations to Matt Stafford; a lot of sports writers in the Detroit papers had to eat some crow this year.  As it turns out he wasn't really the one holding the Lions back.

It's too bad Derspiess doesn't post here much any more; I would have liked to have heard his take on this season for the Bengals.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock
