I've got a backlog of stuff I've been meaning to post, so as I did a few weeks back, I'm going to throw some of these anecdotes out there for you to decide. Pick a number, and I'll tell you a story.
As always, no advance info beyond the titles. :)
These are the numbers that didn't get picked last time. Show them some love!
- Mullet adventures!

5. The Big No
6. The Ginger Tea Nazi
7. The Name's Enough
8. I have had it with these m*****f****** dams on this m*****f****** river!
9. Welcome to Thailand. Try not to die.
In the meantime, I'll leave you with news that the frighteningly intelligent folks at Google hooked 16,000 computers up to create a massive electronic intelligence capable of learning. And unleashed it on the internet.
What did this astonishing invention do when faced with the collected wisdom of human civilisation?
It did what any of us would do. It searched for cats.
Now, what's really mindboggling about this: Not only did the researchers not tell it to look for cats, they didn't even teach it what a cat is.
"“We never told it during the training, ‘This is a cat,’ ” said Dr. Dean... “It basically invented the concept of a cat. We probably have other ones that are side views of cats.”"
So the vast artificial intelligence discerned the existence of cats... and decided it quite liked them.
I never imagined the robot revolt would be so... cuddly.
