    Hahaha, I thought you meant you didn't understand, like you figured I was making a joke (which I was).

    Ok, MOM, we get it, we'll be more careful.

    Just kidding, I love it when girls act like your mom and warn you not to do stuff. It's endearing, and I feel that way even though I don't even have a mommy complex.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    hmmm .... on-topic

    Today I learned (via visual confirmation) that my house does have at least on mouse (we'd heard the bastard in the walls before). I also learned where he's coming in from, and that I'm gonna need about 150 pounds of topsoil, 150ish pounds of gravel, a shovel and some grass seed to deal with the problem in a correct way. Fortunately, my roommate already bought the topsoil, so really it's just the gravel, grass seed, and a shovel that I need.

    I also learned (as a consequence of the previous observation) exactly where to put the mousetraps.

    Finally, I learned Python -- at least, enough to write a useful multithreaded script and get the language basics and the fundamentals of the thread library...

    Smaller pythons should eat mice gladly, so that's a good solution.

    today I learned that one of the mice that came into my house appears to be a deer mouse. Which indicates that I probably have several of them, because the one I saw last night was gray, and the one in the trap is brown.

    WTB: gravel, shovel, expanding foam

    we used to have mice in our house. at one point, the infestation got so bad that they used to wake me up in the middle of the night scurrying about my room. then, suddenly they all left and we never saw them again. not a bad thing at all.

    today i learned that i can't change the nose bone (with the excrutiatingly painful little ball at the end) in my two month old nose piercing twice in one night without expecting it to swell up like a balloon.

    We had mice too about 3 years ago. Little assholes kept chewing threw our burglar alarm wires. It went off about several times a day for a month.

    Apparently rodents need to chew stuff to keep their teeth from growing out of control. Like in that episode of Angry Beavers.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Anyway, today I learned I know more HTML than over 99% of the entire population of Lakewood High. This isn't saying much, and I'll leave it at that.

    Yeah, I taught my web design class in high school..... I had just started making my own sites when I started the class and my professor didn't know jack. The book was all the basics it took 5 minutes to learn, so he had me do it all using Frontpage on an overhead for the rest of the guys in class. So I practiced writing the code without a WYSIWYG editor in my spare time in class. Other than that I started posting in here about the time I got bored of sitting doing nothing in class.

    On another note, Today I learned that protesters on our campus barely know what they are protesting about!

    today i learned....

    that when i went to the bank the other day and withdrew 1000 and their little 'hi-tech' dispenser couldn't dispense that much or ran out... and they had to cancel and redo my transaction...

    they gave me $1,000 for free. bank error in your favor.... collect $1000!
    buahahahah

    no, i'm not really really stupid so i'll probably just tell them at some point since they will probably track it down when i least expect to have 1000 taken out of my bank account

    Nice...

    Anyway, today I learned that I rock at fantasy football. I have my team sitting pretty at 4-0, second in the league only by points. I've been pretty much riding high on Tony Romo's great successes, and so I suppose I should figure out a suitable replacement for him. I'm already trying to trade Vince Young and Deuce McAlister for Brett Favre, but it seems his team's owner is non-responsive...

    Today I learned what happens when you mix glucose with heated potassium chlorate.

    Tell your chem teacher to toss in a Hershey Bar or better yet a Power Bar if they do the demonstration, the more calories the better.

    Today, well rather yesterday now, I learned that my school shut my internet down Three times for having a "Packet Snooper" installed. Figured out it was a little XBOX mod engine I was running....

    Well, live, learn, get smarter than the firewall.

    Also I remember my Physics and Chem teachers teaming up for a good show in highschool, if only I could remember what chemicals they used.....

    The common "wow students" chemical reactions:

    glucose + sulfuric acid = the black "snake" of char.

    glucose + potassium chlorate (or perchlorate) = loud, purple flames of a violent exothermic reaction.

    water + pure sodium (or potassium or lithium) = various violent reactions.

    the ignition of a variety of flammable gases.

    last but by no means least, thermite
    powdered aluminum + iron (III) oxide + high activation energy (typically magnesium fuse) = violent reaction resulting in the production of molten iron.

    Another good one Nitrogen TriIodide, purple gooey mess when mixed in fluid solution, but leave it out to dry then yell at it...it yells back.

    why does more calories make the reaction better?
