Happy Birthday to Bawx. I penned a new song, sung to the tune of "Happy Birthday," and loads radder:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU'RE OLD
AND WRINKLY I'M TOLD
YOU NEED A GOOD SHOWER
'CAUSE YOU'RE COVERED IN MOLD

Honestly, what surprised me the most about Khar's map is the sheer amount of desert in the world. Look at the giant chunk that sweeps through Africa, straight through Asia! I guess I didn't realize Asia was quite so desert-filled- even the regions I think of as relatively tropical, like Laos/Vietnam appear fairly dry.

Well I knew that the Sahara Desert is larger than the Continental United States, but to see it like that amazes me, plus the fact that on a normal wall map of the world Europe and Asia look a lot larger. On that map Africa is just about as big as both of them combined.

The Dymaxion map is 100% accurate. You only have to start distorting things when you want everything laid out all neat.

I'm curious as to how it can be 100% accurate because I believe you have to start distorting things when you project the surface of a sphere onto a flat plane. From what I can find the Dymaxion projection is more accurate but it still has some distortion.

From Wiki:
"Fuller claimed his map had several advantages over other projections for world maps.

It has less distortion of relative size of areas, most notably when compared to the Mercator projection; and less distortion of shapes of areas, notably when compared to the Gall-Peters projection. Other compromise projections attempt a similar trade-off."

From http://www.geni.org/globalenergy/shop/geni_products/products.shtml
"This map is the world's most accurate global projection. It has at most a 2% distortion at any one place."

From http://users.design.ucla.edu/~djvmc/24/bucky/map.html
"Like all flat maps, it evidences the distortions that result from the translation of the three-dimensional surface of a sphere to a flat plane. Its distortions, however, are distributed proportionately within each of its 14 segments and are nowhere extreme"

And here's a nifty site that will probably tell you more about map projections than you really want to know.

Guys just so you know, the Daily Telegraph in Sydney is a tabloid. The Sydney Morning Herald is quite possibly the only good NSW centric paper. It is also a broadsheet.

Tabloid refers to the format (paper size) rather than the content, although it does tend to follow that most tabloid-sized papers are more given to sensationalism than their broadsheet counterparts.

The Daily Telegraph isn't in the same vein as the Weekly World News or such in that it does report "real news" (albeit with much more celebrity-based stuff in the editorial pages than a more "respectable" paper) but the standards of journalism aren't exactly high so the "real news" still gets reported with an eye to rabble-rousing than balanced fact-based reportage.

I can't find a link at this moment, but some guy got arrested for sexually abusing a very young minor. His response? To press charges of sexual assault on him...agaisnt Big Foot.

Yep. His excuse for destroying what should be the most wonderful experience for a human for all of their life is that he was raped by Big Foot.

I learned that you can chew Stride gum without unwrapping it.  You just pop the wrapped stick in your mouth, and chew!  The wrapper dissolves after about 30 seconds.  This knowledge can save valuable seconds.

Quote from: Wikipedia
While Stride gum is designed to be chewed for a ridiculously long time, our gum wrappers are not. All of our gum wrappers are made with materials that comply with FDA rjadskghbsdkvjadfshvjhadskjfhadskhdskjafhadskjegulations for food contact materials; however, none of our chewing gum wrappers are designed to be ingested. While there’s nothing toxic in them, gum wrappers aren’t intended for ingestion and gum wrappers should not be eaten. Should you have any questions or concerns about your children ingesting gum wrappers, please contact your doctor or other health care professional.

I'm not so much posting that so as to prove you wrong, but the simple fact that I love it whenever I managed to hit a Wiki page while it's vandalized on it.

Stabbing rampage in Sitka, Alaska. That's where I went for work last summer, that's where I'm going this summer (and am possibly going to stay for a couple years), and that's where I served two of the victims at the counter of the McDonald's.

Okay, so ever since I heard that rumor I've been chewing stride with the wrappers on, and it honestly seems like the wrapper was made to dissolve, that's how fast it seems to disappear.  I guess I will stop that now.

I might, however, start vandalizing Wikipedia pages.  It's not mean if you do it in such a way that only a dumbass would take your edits for truth, right?

Oh my god yes. The Superb Lyrebird is pretty much nature's sampler. I once had this idea to get a whole bunch of lyre birds together and play each one a small sample of a larger musical piece until they learned it, and then let them loose as a performance. Unfortunately, this turns out to be illegal in some way.

There's nothing wrong with self-pity. As a spur to songwriting, it's right up there with lust, anger and greed, and probably better than the remaining seven deadly sins

I wish to see a concept album devoted to the remaining seven deadly sins.

No! A four-album cycle. Envy: The Album, followed shortly thereafter by Pride, and then Gluttony.

Is Pride covered by deciding "I will make a four-album concept cycle of the Seven Deadly Sins, and people will love it!" ?

Man, if I was the sort of person who quoted things like that in my signature, I'd quote that it my signature.
