GM's Thread About Everything/GM's Thread About Nothing (17 Viewers)

We all know tornadoes and hail blow goats, but the exaggeration of hail size has got to stop. Baseball sized hail? Cummon. (Proceeds to show pea sized hail in news clip)

Worked from home Monday and Tuesday because a data line between my office and the data center got cut.  They were running on a backup line at lower capacity, so they shut off access to a lot of non-business internet sites so the people who DID work in the office could get work done.

Went back in today to find that they fixed the break, but left a lot of the websites blocked, INCLUDING THIS ONE :sadbanana:

Dear god - what did you do?  Please tell me you didn't have to resort to working all day.

For those of you in Austin, a prominent local goober is going to be on KVUE in ten minutes talking about VR and safety training.

 
They were looking for dinosaurs 

(this is actually actually really true.  They set out west looking, in part, for dinosaurs)

First and foremost, in 1804 dinosaur remains had not yet been discovered and identified as such anywhere in the world. Put another way, people in 1804, even Thomas Jefferson and the foremost scientists of the day, knew nothing about dinosaurs. The notions of prehistoric creatures and extinction were so new that President Jefferson and Meriwether Lewis cannot really be considered naive for thinking that mammoths or mastodons (which had been discovered) might still exist in the West. For Jefferson and Lewis, mammoths were not necessarily "prehistoric creatures." Dinosaurs, however, were another matter entirely. The term "dinosaur" wasn't even coined until 1842, and the idea of extinct reptilian lifeforms was quite radical even then, forty years after Lewis and Clark's expedition. Charles Darwin, natural selection, evolution, patterns of extinction, and the geological dating of fossil remains were all far in the future in 1804.

This is just what the innerwebs says, so I'll defer to Tanner's firsthand account.

So I work in an office with mostly dudes (enginerding).  That being said, solitude in the bathroom is hard to come by.  I go out of my way to identify the less traveled bathroom and claim it as my own.  I have referred to this as the "bat cave" as dubbed by a former coworker and friend.  I surely am not alone in this craptastic endeavor.

I found a floor in my office where the majority of the people have been let go.  Going forward it will be referred to as my 'bat cave'.

Ironically, the breakup had to do with chocolate mousse.  Actually true.

 
Another great L&C story is that most of the Native Americans they came across had never seen a black man before.  Clark's slave, York, was a huge novelty.  Some of the tribes believed that people with darker skin were superior (in every way) to lighter skinned people.  To them, York must have seemed like Superman.

During the men's stay with the Arikaras and Mandans of present-day North Dakota, a number of encounters were described, or at least implied.     While Lewis and Clark's crew likely saw sex as recreational, the tribes viewed it as an exchange of power and skill, with the shared wife acting as a conduit.

"If a person had intercourse with a woman, then that woman had intercourse with her husband, then the power from one person to the next would be transferred....to pass on that ability to be good hunters, be good providers", says Tennant.   "And here you have this new group of people who are seen as being very special, as having `big medicine'".  

Tennant says natives were particularly intrigued with Clark's slave, York.   His strong physique and dark skin suggested very powerful medicine to them.   One Arikara warrior had York sleep with his wife, standing guard outside the lodge entrance to keep the couple from being interrupted.

No wonder Sacajaweja (sp?) jumped at the opportunity to go to New York.

roverkid's school has an elective for self-study of a foreign language.    the language department had an "international day" where all of the kids with the language elective would bring in a food from a country from the language they're studying--they have to make enough for like 20 kids.   roverkid takes french, so she asked french whore to help her.  french whore suggested chocolate mousse.  

we get the stuff to make it, and on the night before it's due french whore comes over to help.  roverkid doesn't lift a finger to help separate three dozen eggs, stir the chocolate, mix the whites or do, well, anything.   she has sprained her ankle so she's sitting on the couch with an icepack on, reading a book.  french whore and I do all the work.

the whole process of making the mousse and cleaning up takes about two hours.   when it's time for roverkid to go to bed, she has to be told to go back upstairs to say goodnight and thank you to french whore.  I am unaware that she says goodnight, but not thank you.

the next day french whore goes off on me about what a horrible kid she is and what a lousy father I am for letting her be rude and entitled.  she doesn't want me or roverkid around her or her gallic clan anymore.
