Okay, so to start things off. Photo Monday! Whoo Hoo.
Click me to head to the Photos. Please come back, there's so much more to see!
As you can tell by the pictures it was a very eventful Thanksgiving. Double the meals, but double the snow driving (as I'm sure you either experienced or heard about in our area). Well, not a single issue or scary moment in the Subaru (Nicole might argue with me on that one - but really, is the passenger ever right?).
So, I guess this should go right into update Wednesday. Kind of ironic that the reason I started the blogs in the beginning was 1) to give out information about my house and 2) to keep myself honest about working out and keeping in shape. Well, I've managed to give only bits and pieces about my house, and I definitely haven't been going to the gym.
Until last week. Counting today Jeremiah and I have two whole straight weeks of going to the gym (once a week). (why are you laughing?). Anyways. I'm old. How do I know that? Its been a week and a half between workouts and I think I was still sore from the first. This whole "recovery time" is crap. My arms are going numb right now, and I'm not sure if its because I'm a bit cold, I maybe threw out my back doing whatever the hell that machine was trying to make me do, or they are legitimately just tired. I'll let you know next week.
Onto the fun stuff. LINK FRIDAY!
Okay, most people don't know about this, but its one of the best services google offers in my opinion. Google Answers. You can post up a quest, with a dollar amount, and a trained research professional at google will respond. The best part is, the answer is available to everyone. So, if you're bored, you can search through google answer to find some really fun stuff.
Here's just one example of the answer to the question; "How many T-Rexes would it take to make a gallon of gas (or conversely, how many gallons of gas in a T-rex)

This one is from good 'ol Hardball. Just a quick clip but a Republican totally dismissing Barak Obama. But not just dismissing him. Yes, Baraks middle name is Hussian; but listen to how he says it. Like since his middle name is Hussian its a huge reason we shouldn't elect him
Now one from the Brits! Dope and Driving! Not a simulation either. They got a willing participant to drive a course, both normal and dopped up. Whats the results? Just watch:
This one is SUPER neat. Takes strobbing LED lights, that are synconized with a dripping faucet to "bend time". Seriously, VERY neat. ***DAD*** make me one for Christmas? =))
Okay, nerd trip on this one. Chess is boring. Yes we know that. I love it, but I'll admit, on most people I open up with the same type of moves. So, I found it a bit shocking when I stumbled across Bobby Fischer's version of chess called Chess 960. You use a computer to randomize the back row; so basically there's no possible way to memorize all the opening moves. Want to try it? Just go to the website below, make that the backrow of both sides (black mirrors white, do not setup black as it shows).

Lastly. Came across this during the week. 10 Commandments for playing Super Tecmo Bowl. Yes, the nintendo game. Funny how that game still holds a spot in so many gamers hearts:
1. I am the Lord Tecmo Bowl thy God; thou shalt play no other Games after the 1993 SNES version of Tecmo Super Bowl.
2. Thou shalt not lurch.
3. Thou shalt not throw thy controller in vain.
4. Thou shalt not skip the coin flip after losing.
5. Thou shalt not steal thy opponents plays (by peaking).
6. Blessed is he who punts, for he will inherit the Earth.
7. Live by the tap, die by the tap.
8. I say unto thee, it is easier to place a camel through the eye of a needle than it is to complete a flea flicker pass.
9. Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's running back.
10. For I so loved the world, that I sent my only son, Bo Jackson, to dominate the game so that thy lack of skills may be forgiven.
Go Bo Jackson.

Yes, commenting on my own blog. (I'd throw in an edit but the html has gone crazy and its just ugly now).
Anyways - its looks like that google answer story came up because they closed shop at google answer =( Very sad.
*sigh* Super Tecmo Bowl. I feel warm and fuzzy.
when we played an entire season, we made it so nobody could have bo jackson or emmit smith because they were retart strong and stupid good.
The way I play it now (yes, I still play it on occation), is I let the season run for 9 weeks. Then I get to choose from whatever teams have the worst record in the league.
Then with the superbowl with them =) Actually makes that game tough.
