   Though I’ve never seen what is being referenced, my fav take on it is from the movie Dave, starring Kevin Kline and Sigourney Weaver.

   I didn’t have much luck with eHarmony, but my wife found me on a different site and our 7th anniversary is next month. So I’m a fan of online dating sites, to a degree.

   There’s an old saying, ‘If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.’

   I was born in and grew up in Arizona, lived there for over 40 years until until I got married moved to New Mexico 7 years ago (an astronomer’s job is just not that mobile). I have absolutely no idea what’s happened to Arizona, it’s gone totally insane. We’ve always had Joe Arpaio, but now the entire legislature has become guano-infested. Part of the problem is ALEC, they proposed lots of private prison initiatives and then came up with SB 1070, the Living While Brown law. This two-week law is just the latest manifestation. To give you some idea as to what the rest of the state thinks of the legislature and Phoenix, Tucson was doing polling to see if they could secede and become their own state, taking a good chunk of SE AZ with them.The women and minorities of Arizona have to rise up and totally demolish the AZ GOP, or this crap is just going to continue and get worse. I think at the national level the RNC is in for a surprise in November, but people are going to have to be more active at the state and local level if they want to avoid this stuff.

   A priest, a rabbi, an astronaut, a blonde, a Frenchman with a parrot on his shoulder, a cowboy, an indian, and a psychiatrist walk in to a bar. The bartender says, “What is this, some kind of joke?”

   I now shun 3-D movies at all cost. And @Hugh: they have made 3-D porn. I haven’t seen it, but I have read about it.Probably the next and only 3-D movie that I’ll see will be The Hobbit, Jackson seems to be doing a heck of a job with the 3-D engineering. But it’ll be 2-D again when it comes out on BluRay/DVD.

   I read that they’ve found a way to make QR codes an attack vector, so I don’t scan them. I believe the basic concept was that they point to a site that has been compromised that automatically launches malware against your phone, similar to cross-site scripting attacks against browsers.

    For me it’s Patrick Mcnee and Leo McKern week: picked up a box set of The Prisoner last Friday.
