If I'm reading this correctly as 'altitude' vs. 'time', then in all probability this curve represents something like: a) walk up stairs to second floor office b) realize left coffee in car, go back down to parking lot c) climb halfway back up to office, realize donut left in car d) climb halfway back up to office, realize left car unlocked, return to parking lot e) return to office fluctuations in altitude caused by trying to use GPS indoors.

"smartest poster on CascadeClimbers" Please define. Is that like "smartest kid on the short bus"? FWIW, does anybody really care?

it just occurred to me that your little rubber ducky avatar is clad in black latex.....

That's more like it.

You've gone all Mainstream Media (or is it Agenda Media?) on us!

Sex? Cuddling? I thought it was some sporto going for the stick clip....

Managed to avoid useless pseudo-alpha-male chest beating on spray.

Yeah, I was terribly impressed by the GRE as well.

Shouldn't you be frying something or studying for your GED?

Aw, look! It's Gotterdamerung Jr.! Ain't he cute!?!

Doing science is a cure for any headache caused by philosophers of science.

Hey, what's all that grey stuff in yer head there? Cool......

Then who reads all those price tags and instruction manuals for you ....oh....right....never mind.....

I think, for most of us here, it's not that we lack things that would alleviate boredom, it's that we have no legal means of using a tranquilizer dart gun on those people directly responsible for it.

i like how you can trust city governments to waste millions of dollars on any number of things but you aren't sure you can count on them to pony up a hundred grand to rebuild your house when it's been given a reverse enema and it's clearly their fault.

It's not likely they just shot some random 'someone', but shot 'someone' who was a threat to public safety, probably someone brandishing a weapon and threatening other 'someone's' out minding their own business. If you're dumb enough to push the cops to the point where they pull their guns, well, I'm kinda short on sympathy today.

Meaning: you aren't going to see a floating Chinese yuan any time soon....so stop asking.

For those of you with delusions of flexing your geekly 'muscles' and having rock star groupies, I present you with the following position which was brought to my attention today: "STAR Warfighter Scientist" Must Have the Following: U. S. Citizenship is required Minimum technical bachelor degree (prefer engineering, physics, math, computer science, information systems) with 10 years experience in related geospatial intelligence fields, including geology, geophysics, photogrammetry, sensor physics, math, image processing, geographic information systems, knowledge management systems, and statistics Experience with prototyping, software development, imagery analysis, or multi-INT analysis / fusion Experience as a government site contractor for national Intelligence Community customers Active Top Secret clearance required Experience with brain surgery desired, but not requried. Will train.

Reminds me of a Far Side cartoon wherein the scientist says somelike like "My mistake was going into astrophysics for the money" Squid, let's go to the Bugs. If that doesn't get your squidly juices flowing, well, there's no hope for you.

I love how our perceptions about WW2 are overly 'rosy' yet our perceptions about Iraq are overly 'pessimistic' and poisoned by the 'Agenda Media'.....

Who would ever call into question the honesty of a car salesman?.... If you're trying to 'take the high road', what's the lawyer for?

It figures that you'd drink something in a screw-cap that you found next to a dumpster...

If they are getting laughs off of us geezers on the rails, then I'm reciprocating and getting a good laugh off of them when they face plant in the moguls, which they invariably do. All I know is, I may be 'old school' but if my skiing skills advance to the point where I can do interesting ski mountaineering, I'm more likely to run into uneven terrain that I need to know how to deal with than I am some groomed tube or a nice shiny rail.

For you, I can be.

Si j'etais le roi, les choses seraient differantes.
