- Damn it, girls, I want to see the ultra exotic tropical fruit!
- Yeah, this made me feel old.
- Somehow I doubt that Ramona has Hulk-hands.
- More cool eclipse stuff. Once he said, "it must happen this way," I realized, duh, obviously. Sometimes I forget I know astronomy.
- The worst meatball sandwich that one guy on yelp ever had in his life.
- I will never again not be able to think of this when I see people with face masks.
- Is it just me? I've never had any problems with pb&j sandwiches. I use jams or preserves though. Maybe people using real jelly do have problems? Maybe some people have no ability to eat sandwiches without making a mess?
- "In the weeks since then, Bennett said, Hawaii officials have forced him to provide proof that he is who he says he is." Hawaii:
- I'm glad someone is fighting back against this. Yes, I enjoyed the performance. Yes, it was well done. Sit your stupid ass down.
- WTF, the 1950s? Who gets thirsty and thinks, "Gee, I need some coffee."
Oh, I found another story:
I was watching pawn stars on tv, because I'm lazy, and wanted something I could have in the background while reading the internets. I don't think I have anything on the DVR that I can use as background noise at this point, so it had to be something live. In any case, the pawn star guys bought some Confederate money at something like twice the face value. Since I was looking at Scooby-Doo stuff earlier for this post, that reminded me of this episode where Scooby inherits a million dollars, but: Oh no! Surprise! It's Confederate money, so it's "worthless." This didn't really seem plausible when I was little, and if those bastards on History channel are throwing money at it, it must be wrong. So, let's look, and it looks like Scooby inherits $500 bills, which are in pretty good condition due to being an image copied into the animation. Let's look at ebay, the center of trading good money for shit you don't need. There's some crazies selling at like $1100US for one, but I can find them going for $300. That means that Scooby could get 60% of face value without much trouble in today's market. Blah blah inflation? Still works out to about $100,000 in 1968 dollars. That's about 11 years of the median 1968 wage. Not a bad value.
