i started playing the yahoo online hold’em. i suppose i asked for it, by joining the beginner’s lounge, but my god! these people continually play the shittiest hands! it’s like playing drinking hold’em! except beer would be much better than fake money.

  

Your own personal black hole

This sounds kind of interesting, if kind of far-fetched.
Lab fireball ‘may be black hole’

It goes right along with sonoluminscence being fusion in a bubble.

  

Occupational hazards

Actually, this article is kinda lame, but still interesting. The article at the bottom discusses the Google case and a couple others concerning getting fired for your blog. Once again making me glad I live in academia-land, i think?

  

I’m pretty sure i could do it, but the aftereffects might not be so much fun

My buddy Kerry just sent me this:

An American walks into an Irish pub and says, “I’ll give anyone $100 if they can drink 10 Guinness’s in 10 minutes.”
Most people just ignore the absurd bet and go back to their conversations.
One guy even leaves the bar.
A little while later that guy comes back and asks the American, “Is that bet still on?”
“Sure.”
So the bartender lines 10 Guinness’s up on the bar the Irishman drinks them all in less than 10 minutes.
As the American hands over the money he asks, “Where did you go when you just left?”
The Irishman answers, “I went next door to the other pub to see if I could do it.”

  

and another one, because I can’t resist…

McCarrin walked into a bar and ordered martini after martini, each time removing the olives and placing them in a jar. When the jar was filled with olives and all the drinks consumed, the Irishman started to leave.

“S’cuse me,” said a customer, who was puzzled over what McCarrin had done. “What was that all about?”

“Nothing,” said the Irishman, “my wife just sent me out for a jar of olives.”

  

and now I get to tell my other funny clean joke

Thursday, March 17th, 2005

An Irishman stumbles into a pub and asks the guy next to him if he could buy him a drink. “Why of course” comes the reply.

The first man then asks: “Where are you from?” “I’m from Ireland” is the reply.

The first man responds: “You don’t say, I’m from Ireland too! Let’s have another round to Ireland.” “Of course!” replies the second man, and the barkeep prepares another two pints.

Curious, the first man then asks: “Where in Ireland are you from?” “Dublin”, comes the reply.

“I can’t believe it”, says the first man. “I’m from Dublin too! Let’s have another drink to Dublin.”

A few minutes later, after watching a little of motd and appreciating the beauty that is a pint of Guinness, curiosity again strikes and the first man asks: “What school did you go to?” “Saint Mary’s”, replies the second man. “I graduated in `62.”

“This is unbelievable!”, the first man says. “I went to Saint Mary’s and I graduated in `62, too!”

About that time in comes one of the regulars and sits down at the bar.

“What’s been going on?”, he asks the bartender.

“Nothing much,” replies the bartender. “United beat City in the Manchester derby and the O`Reilly twins are drunk again.”
