No, the thing with the toilet.

She owns an airline. I thought she made that pretty clear to the german guy, but I guess not. She had a lavatory painted so it looks like a terrifying smear of color his bathroom at home for some reason I didn't quite follow, on their flight to Hong Kong so he could ask her parents' permission to marry her.

It's All Right Chief Dharma





Works better for this year really, since nothing makes sense anymore.

Is it just me, or does Chief Dharma often times seem like it's building up to one joke before switching tracks and making another? Like, in this one, I thought there was going to be a joke about ordering next year's cigarettes now, but no, instead it's a joke about him being behind societal change.

This reasoning is actually backwards. Email scammers use the same old hackneyed scheme again and again because it weeds out people smart enough not to fall for the scam. If 99.9% of people can quickly identify an nigerian prince scam, well, your 1000 emails sent have quickly found the 1 person dumb enough to send you money.

Re the Morgan daughter, my understanding is that memory loss like that is usually temporary. I imagine there will be a heartwarming moment when she starts to remember some things (but maybe being a prodigy artist gets retconned).

Dear Wendy,
I've been weighing this decision for months now. The jobs in question are long gone due to my prevarication. Your advice has been no help whatsoever. What are you, some kind of fill-in advice columnist? Pros and cons? Think? Go with your gut? This is advice? I am homeless and destitute and selling myself to make ends meet. So, what do I do now? I don't ask expecting good advice, but because recent history indicates if I do the exact opposite of your suggestions, I could not possibly do worse.
Sincerely,
Hopeless in Santa Royale

Excuse me Ripley, what in the living gently caress does "over one trillion times colder than liquid nitrogen" mean? :crossarms:

anyway I'll use this as an opportunity to post a classic Fingerpori:

"We're only 0.0001 degrees away from absolute zero... what can we do?"

Liquid Nitrogen is about 77.2 degrees kelvin. 1 trillionth of that is 7.7e-11 kelvin.

e. I haven't been able to find references for the Finnish record, but at that temperature, matter kinda fuses together into what's called a Bose-Einstein Condensate that acts like one giant atom. It's got neat properties.
