2009 Jan 03 10:42 (#3759.12313):Wax Arenas -- the comments below are pretty enjoyable for a Wizznutzz fan.
2009 Jan 02 11:31 (#4080.12310):Not to mention your tendency to travel with that padded vest holding maroon-sleeved rolls of quarters, spare wire, boxcutters and a squirt gun. (For laundry, better radio reception, opening boxes and general hilarity, of course)
2009 Jan 02 11:16 (#4055.12308):OK, this study of priming by just changing the language is fascinating.
When Prof. Laitin's Somali assistants asked Somali-speaking students in the Northeastern Province of Kenya to complete the sentence "My favorite radio station is ___" (or its Somali translation), the answers varied as follows:
Voice of Kenya Somali Radio BBC Asked in English (n=56) 54% 43% 4% Asked in Somali (n=70) 24% 51% 24%When asked to complete the sentence "Between home and school, I prefer ___", their answers were:
"Home" "School" Asked in English (n=68) 68% 32% Asked in Somali (n=71) 25% 75%These are obviously pretty large differences.
2008 Dec 31 12:03 (#3863.12307):From SisterInLawOK -- Maine man faces [DUI] charge atop Zamboni.
2008 Dec 30 10:03 (#4078.12305):What happens when a Catalonian moves here and sets up with the Caganer? yawn.
I suppose the reason this doesn't blossom into neighbor drama is that the caganer is supposed to be hard to find: it's kindof a "Where's Waldo" game, apparently.
2008 Dec 30 09:51 (#4078.12304):Don't you think the war on Xmas over here would be so much more fun if there were an active "Creche, Menorah, whatever -- as long as there's a person dropping a deuce" faction?

2008 Dec 20 02:15 (#4073.12283):To those who have to sound: Try loading this file; you should just see a halcyon blue screen. Hold shift and hit reload. Then come back here and try again. Maybe that will help? Dunno.
The guy who designed the xmas lights thing did it just right. It's just funny enough to be funny and just annoying enough that I'll be glad to see it go.
