From ThinkGeek: Super Pii Pii Brothers. It is exactly what it appears to be from the name: a Wii game about peeing, complete with strap-on Wiimote holder.

| Plush uteruses (uteri?) recalled. |
[Jan. 16th, 2009|07:06 pm] |
'Struth. If you have purchased a plush uterus, it is being recalled by the company due to a small part choking hazard. "The ovaries may be pulled off and become a choking hazard."
Other choice quotes:
- "If the plush uterus is being used by a young child, please remove it immediately. If you gave the uterus as a gift, please forward this email to the recipient(s)." (Boldface theirs.)
- "Please contact recall@iheartguts.com for information on how to return your uterus for a refund or exchange for any other organ."
- "Please include your name and address so we know where to send guts."
- "Look for a redesigned, kid-safe uterus plush in Spring 2009."
Ten minutes ago I had no idea such a thing existed. Now I want nothing more in the world than a plush uterus.

CNN's election map shows Montana and North Dakota as yellow. Not red, but yellow.
FiveThirtyEight shows Montana as 90% certain to go McCain, but North Dakota as 74% certain.
Just.... wow.
Edit: And CNN's map shows Georgia as pink! |

If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong. -- Robert A. Heinlein
Just fucking vote. |

| If you give a man a fish... |

If you give a man a fish, he'll eat for a day.
If you teach a man to fish, you'll provide fishing tech support for the rest of your life. He'll come to you when his rod breaks, or when his line snarls. He'll skip steps in the "how to" document you spent time writing up, then ask you for help every single time it doesn't work. He'll miss the part about baiting the hook, and ask you for help when he doesn't catch anything. He'll complain when his feet get wet, and miss the part where you told him "First, put on hip waders." He won't know what hip waders are or where to find them (in fact, he won't want to know, because that's "techie jargon"). He'll snag the hook on his pants or in his eye and come to you for help. Eventually he'll get frustrated, and you'll get frustrated, and you'll both realize that he never really wanted to learn to fish, he just wants a fish once every couple of weeks. And in a couple of weeks, he'll have forgetten everything you've tried to teach him, so you'll start all over.....
Better to just give him the fish.

You know how there are these open source projects, clones of proprietary stuff, where a bunch of dedicated people all got together to continue support for something either that's being abandoned or just because they want a free version of something? You see it in the computer world (e.g. Linux vs. Unix), but also of late in the RPG world, with stuff like Labyrinth Lord, OSRIC, and the like.
What if the universe is one of those projects?
