No actually he's got a point. It's completely reasonable. I mean, one of the takeoff runways for the Buffalo airport crosses over the throughway. You wouldn't have to get anywhere near the airport itself.

Reminds me of the knife Raven carries ("glass") in the book Snow Crash.

I love doing this to my wife. Nearly any time throughout the day I can just open my mouth real wide and squint my eyes and force her to yawn. It never ever gets old!

Thanks for the info Liberal Avenger - I read with rapt attention. Coolio.

I'm a big fan of another "black" whiskey - but mine can't even afford the "e"....I drink Black Velvet, a verrry affordable Canadian whisky.

The building is also featured (somewhat) in the vampire movie "Eternal"

Gail; no problem! I read the Divine Commedia in highschool because I'd heard a few quotes from it and it really interested me, so this book seemed a natural progression and it turned out to be a really great novel.

Hey, I'll mail you my copy in exchange for some book you'd think I'd like. If you're interested shoot me an email; chuber@mirus-group.com

There's a really great book called "In the Hand of Dante" by Nick Tosches....if anyone's a fan of Dante's writing this will be a fascinating fictional novel to check out.

You can read about the book here:

I highly recommend it, at the very least for the very differently written but very engagingly intertwining story lines.

of course i recognize them!

the full version of this has them talking together for about two minutes before they start singing...it's neat.

Hooray!
Always been a fan of your style...and love the recent self portraits, mang.

Rockin.

re: Alex's link:

Rob Cockerham's information on the military application of silly string was really interesting, but the military (or at least some concerned people in the military) actually asked him to take the information down because it might endanger soldiers to have enemies know about their tactics.

I've heard this before (but it was explained to me as "iron in the nose") and that it was why men have better (arguably!) navigational skills and direction sense, and possibly even better spatial reasoning - because men have larger deposits of the magnetic material than women.

Interesting.

Dude, Mr P - across the vastness of the internet. Cool.

And yes, seriously, this is a ridiculously frail offering. I even saw a news story about it on TV. It's just...not right. With Science.

I have the "beer yeast" one - it's so cute!

Hmmm....what do you call old war-turkey killed in this method?
