I'm not sure if I should report it as a bug...

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Fortunately, it hasn't actually gone fractal. The page in the page was completely normal; working links and everything.

It only happens every now and then, but it's a pain in the ass.

Edit: And I may have found the problem. Accidental double clicking results in the page stopping its load and restarting without removing the first one.

That sounds like a browser bug. What are you using?

Okay, the day before, I found a feather on the ground, which I put in my hat. Yesterday, someone hands me a white feather, which I also put in my hat. Today, I see some little kid holding a black feather.

Three days, three feathers. Not only that, but I think there is some sort of spiritual side of it. I mean, yesterday, the white feather that someone was nice and gave me(Good?), the day before, I simply found the brown feather on the ground(Neutral?), and today, the black feather which if I had taken from the kid(I didn't) it would be stealing from a little kid, which would be pretty evil, wouldn't it(a being a douchebag)?

Or maybe I'm thinking about it too deeply?

Goddamnit. Can we just skip to quantum computers with quantum entanglement routers already? The wait is killing me.
Hey breadbocks.
Wow.  Quantum computers operated by lasers and microwaves and constructed with DIAMONDS.

You should have taken all three and gain POWER BEYOND YOUR IMAGINING!

Or you would have looked rediculous with three feathers in your hat.

Isn't there some novel called "the three feathers" about a soldier that has to cast off three feathers off his hat to win some contest against cowardice?

Edit: No. The four feathers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Four_Feathers

The ride home lastnight after work was really strange. 

First, what appeared to be some strange small animal gave me a panic, when it skittered underneath me.  It looked about the size of a cat, with a similar tail, but the body shape was much flatter and kind of wierd.  And cats don't skitter.  It was a dark color and just briefly passed under my headlight, so I didn't get to see it very well.  It looked like I should have ran it over (at least the tail), but I didn't feel or hear anything.  My best guess is it was some piece of trash blowing across the road, but I'm pretty sure there wasn't enough wind to move such a large item like that and the shape was so much like the body of a small animal... especially considering the tail...

And then a few minutes later, a human silhouette walked in front of me and vanished.  Commence questioning of sanity.

People are good at having hallucinations, crazy or not. Tiny visual and optical hallucinations are possible even when everything is fine, and a disruption as small as a normal headache is capable of causing vivid and total hallucinations comprising all five senses, even in people who are completely healthy.

The brain isn't good at telling which sense data is real and which isn't.

I've never experienced more than very minor visual glitches which were very easily identifiable as such, so both these things were a little strange for me.
