Me and my lack of a short-term memory is kind of making me go "What the fuck?" as usual. I think my short-term memory might be overly selective. It's either that or I somehow should really stop with the making new thoughtforms.

I blame the Mayans.

From the happy thread:
My school's gaming club was shut down for a short time after a parent accused the teacher running it of teaching witchcraft.
WTF society?

Hey, it was only for a couple weeks. Then we went right back to child sacrifice and drinking the blood of virgins playing D&D.

People like those heretics people who throw false accusations based out of ignorance are why we can't have nice things. One of the good things about Generation Y is that from what I've seen people just don't give a fuck and do whatever, thus embracing free will like how nature intended. Me saying a good thing about Generation Y despite my being part of it is my "What the fuck?" moment.

Holy fuck, it managed to guess a Belgian politician. E: TWICE.

My WTF of ther day is one of the biggest I've had in the while. It's a dream.

A dream that involves My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I've never watched an episode, never will, I've never watched or read any fanworks and only taken cursory looks at art and memes involving it. I've had enough assotiation with Bronies to make this somewhat understandable, though still pretty odd.

The grey one, Derpy Hooves I think is her name, had some kind of weird dart board that was red and green and if you hit a red spot you vanished from the dream in that weird dream way of knowing that they weren't just disappearing, it was negative somehow and really kind of creepy. Presumably they were dying(?!). There was a little pixie pony(?) that was consistantly in the way and always deflected shots away from the green areas and into the red, making a steady stream of "guest Ponies" appear(?). Why the main cast wasn't used, I've not the fucking slightest clue.

There was a conversation in the foreground I forget, but I do remember all dialogue was done in Japanese(?) except it wasn't Japanese(??), it was English that my dreambrain understood as Japanese(???) and understood what was being said regardless. I don't speak Japanese.

Even weirder was that that wasn't the focus of the dream. The focus was on a conversation a bit away about how the Danish word for Oil Well was redundant somehow(?) and should be replaced.

Then the credits came up(????????????).

Credits. My dream had credits. Like, flash animation credits. A static artwork screen of some of the guest ponies bowing, complete with an explanation that I remember why the conversation about the Danish word for Oil Well (I literally don't speak a single word of Danish so I don't even know what word that is) was relevant and to my weird-ass freaky dreambrain it made sense.

Then it pulled out and revealed I was watching it on a drive in theatre screen, then my dog barked several times in very rapid succession and I woke up.

What. The. FUCK.

Heh...playing around with Akinator a bit this morning...it got Coyote (from Gunnerkrigg Court) in 20 questions. But took 40 to get Leonard Cohen. Leonard-fucking-Cohen. Its first guess was Michael Buble, which almost made me break something.  >:(

I think Akinator has actually gotten weaker over time as more and more characters and things have been added to it. It'll still get it in the end (well, usually), but failure on its part still manages to bother me.

It depends on the character. He can get basically any My Little Pony in like 15 questions, but he takes over 30 for discworld characters. I did manage to fool him with Pacifica Northwest.

Getting a little tired of all the Christmas stuff. Especially when you think about all the creepy sub-context in Christmas songs.

"I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus", for example, has some connotations that it might not have been Daddy in a Santa suit.

Besides, people are always forgetting the most important part of the holiday: that the 25th of December is the birthday of our lord and savior, Mithras.

It is capable of differentiating between Jurassic Park's T-Rex and Dinosaur Comics' T-Rex.
