Can PF Random Thoughts be Split to Help with Server Load?

Sorry, too much coffee and not enough sleep I am not responsible for my actions...try Robert Ludlum though...the Bourne triology should be enough to get you addicted...

I loved the Bourne novels. Although, after Ludlum's passing, his protégé took over, and I must say that the quality of the books decreased a bit at that point.

Books? Reading? Don't know what that means, but the words sound familiar. Youtube is my teacher, and facebook is my friend. And if any text is longer than a SMS or a tweet I get bored. Some say I am "spoiled" - what does that mean? I've never seen that word on facebook .

I finally decided to build a tree to store all my patients'records (within 20 years) . The total number of my patients is ~5 trillions

Anything with the name of Ludlum and another name shoved in fine-print is pure crap written by a wannabe and allowed to do so because his estate likes the money.
For example: The Ares decision -I just couldn't figure out why was the style so sloppy and the plot unbelievably bad until I discovered another name in the cover page...
My favourite would have to be Prometheus Deception it was one of his last true novels* before he passed away.

A friend recommended it to me- (one of the most peaceful guys in the class), he challenged me that I would never get what the last twist would be, not this one...I got it after a hundred or so pages...when I told him...He punched me on the shoulder shoving me of the chair with a despairing cry "COME ON MAN!"- Best compliment ever.

Lol Enigman, I can totally understand your friend's reaction!

I receive a message sent to my phone saying that I am so lucky to have been given 1000 points to join the game, if win, I will get $300K, They ask me to send a reply message to #9000 (50 cents/message). Do you think I can win the game ?

Short scientific debate at the Grand Canyon. It does not go well for the non-scientist.

My new pants are here! My new pants are here! :!) :thumbs:

For 10 years I have been wearing pants with no pockets. NO POCKETS! Why do manufacturers think women don't want pockets?

My oh so comfy new micro fleece pants have two side pockets. They fit like a glove. Evo is happy.

 

[Borek]

They fit like a glove.

We want pictures.

Today was a good day.
And 240, is a good number.

 

[drizzle]

You mean 242.

 

[Enigman]

42 is the best number. WolframAlpha agrees too.

 

[drizzle]

Lol!

I had a bunch of x-rays taken of me today. 'More than I've had taken before in any other single day. And maybe more than all the previous days combined.*

*(By that I mean intentional, artificially induced x-rays, not background radiation.)**

**(Background radiation is underestimated by most people that don't know about the subject. Did you know that if you were standing outside the fence of Three Mile Island during the accident in 1979 you would have received about a comparable amount of radiation as simply living in Colorado for a year?)***

***(I think I received more than that today unless technology in the subject has improved a lot since the last time I checked.)

***(Egad! [For anybody living in Colorado: Nothing to worry about. You'll be fine.])

 

[drizzle]

Why am I still up? I didn't get enough sleep last night, and I have an appointment early morning.

 

[inotyce]

Don't know if there is someone working for Merck here, I'm having an interview with Merck next week. Maybe I will fail

Just got my flu shot. Ouch.

 

[turbo]

I haven't had a flu shot for over 20 years. I would rather have the flu than spend days suffering from the fragrance chemicals that all doctors' subject me to.

 

[Evo]

I'm going next week to get my flu shot. They have those new injections that barely penetrate the skin. Don't know if my doctor has them yet though. I might just swing by the pharmacy and get one. Actually, my grocery store is giving them.

Yesterday the weather channel was predicting gloom and doom for Saturday with the most dangerous storm to hit this part of the country all year. Today, forecast for Saturday is sunny and mild.

 

[OmCheeto]

I've been noticing a lot of high powered thought from newbies in "General Physics".

Maybe shutting down the gubment once in awhile is a good idea.

I like these newly unemployed "rocket scientist" PF kids.

That reminds me that mine have been looking a bit flat. It's time to whip out the $2 plastic pressure gauge.

I also, within the last week, bought a new pair of windshield wipers, which has turned me into a giddy school-girl every time it rains or condensates on my car.

I know what you mean. My truck steers so much more easily now, I feel like I'm driving a whole different vehicle. I hadn't topped the air off in, like, 6 months.

I was going through my keys on my key ring because I no longer remember what many are for. I found one marked USPS - US Postal Service. After thinking long and hard about this, I determined that this must have been my mail key for an apartment in Los Angeles, almost 30 years ago! I know it must have been on my key ring for a minimum of 23 years.

That's awesome. I have some on there that I refuse to get rid of, since clearly, as soon as I do so, I will find out what its for and need it.

I am trying to convert a very boring powerpoint file (with audio) to .wmv so I can watch it at an increased speed. So far the conversion has taken several hours.

Alan Watts - What do you want?




It relates to the question - Who are you? or from one's point of view "Who am I?"

Man, I went through a huge Watts phase years ago. Still good to listen to.

Ah! I just learned that today is Neil deGrasse Tyson's birthday.

Happy birthday Neil!

Thence my answer hark
In the wretched dark
At midnight in the park
Beneath the sleeping lark
doth the wig lurk.

That's really good tho. Zooby writes good poetry too.

This is really cool. All those balls going back and forth on their respective lines like that

Happy birthday Neil!

:-O Happy Birthday Neil! Will you marry me?

Am I tripping O.O

Yes. You are.

Urgh! I hate it when you HAVE to dial a number, and you expect to waste at least 20 minutes on the call. After dialing a series of extensions and a number of holds to end up with 'sorry, but the person you're trying to reach is not available. Please try again later'. URGHHHHHHH!

Very cool, lisab!

Then there's the ones that send you through a maze of questions only to finally be told that they're closed and to please call back during regular business hours.

My husband just reassured me that he is not looking for his Ken doll. Rather, he is looking for his Kindle.
