Game theory explains Black Adder

Ok, for all you war-strategy-conflict folks, how 'bout a cogent explanation of Black Adder for you?

Fantastic Wine!


It can be said with great truth that I'm not a fan of non-red wines. I'm kind of a snob about it, not because I really like snobbery, but because I want to taste the dirt my wine was grown in--I don't want to drink my wine so much as to chew it. I can tolerate a nice fume-blanc, and even sometimes a chardonnay so long as it's from Frogland (CA growers vastly over-oak their whites!). And everyone knows how the lemur likes his tawny ports (I've three bottles (of differing brands) in the closet, and just killed a different brand this week).

BUT, I have to give due respect to a rose' of all things! Seriously!

No, really! I mean it!


If you're into cool-aid wine like pinot-noir or anything by Gallo, you'll love the wonderfully and punfully named 'Goats do Roam' from South Africa. (N.B. 'Goats do Roam' is a pun on 'Cotes du Rhone'.)

Even I like it!

PS. Maddie says the Goats rock the house. I'll go one further and say:

The Goat's in the House, yo!

Evangelical Scientists Refute Gravity

More on the latest chimera from Kansas, satirized in The Onion. My loss for words continues unabated. That people can so fervently believe that a God couldn't have designed the universe to work according to the understandings we arrive at via science while calling themselves 'people of faith' just makes my little brain hit the 'eject' button. Andy Blair has a semi-Cthulhoid term for this kind of thing: TOO STUPID FOR MAN TO KNOW!
