    Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberry.
    (By the way, that scene in the Japanese version is hilarious. Translated from English to Japanese and then back to English subtitles, it really changes the scene.... here are some clips from it http://youtu.be/JV8b7mB4HTU )

    I have Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Star Wars and The Hobbit tattoos. :P

    The Whale in Hitchhikers's Guide is one of my favorite but brief characters ever....."Hello Ground"

    I rather preferred the bowl of petunias. :laugh:

    The petunias were certainly more aware

    The whale is an optimist, whereas the petunias are embittered pessimists. Although they probably consider themselves realists.

    The petunias had their reasons.


    Another thing: Electronic device start-up message: "Did I fall asleep?"

    Also, has anyone thought about the algorithms of what people show up where on your facebook?

    I don't like big parties, don't dance, don't sing except in the car, don't drink. Even on weekends, I will write and read for hours, intellectually meander on the net, engage in philosophical discussions, plot my next teaching lesson, spend a lot of time creating handouts and researching classroom games, love Star Trek and all its variations as well as a lot of sci-fi...yeah.

    lol.
    I write software too... I always get excited when Im out somewhere and someone is using something I wrote... Its always kind "fake" to me because I know how it all works.... but when you're out there in the REAL WORLD and you run across someone using your software in real life I kinda laugh inside.

    Because... I learned to program in BASIC on a TI-99/4a. Anyone else have one of these?

    Learned my BASIC (Beginner's All Purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on a Commodore 64.

    And no, I didn't have to look up the meaning of the word BASIC....

    I learned BASIC and LOGO on an Apple IIe and still have my TRaSh-80 with the cassette player.
    T o me floppy discs will always be Verbatim 5 1/4" double density.

    In high school my friends and I would smell our books before we would read them. We were convinced we could tell how good a book was going to be by the way it smelled.

    Yea, I learned BASIC on my TRS-80 as well... I also modded an 8 track player to work in it instead of a cassette player... later I got a floppy drive and an expansion box that let me have 4 or 5 slots instead of just the one in the side... plus more memory.

    I also learned Apple BASIC around then since the school had Apples and I got to play on them a bit.
